The Prom and 8 Things About Me

My DD had her prom last weekend :-). She looked so pretty! It's hard to believe two weeks from today she will graduate from high school. Time just flies.

I've been tagged by Patti and Deb to tell you 8 things about myself:

1. I met my DH on a Saturday and we got married 6 weeks later.

2. I was born in Oxford England. My mom is English and met my dad when he was stationed in England.

3. I have a bachelor's degree in accounting.

4. My favorite kind of food is Italian. I love Giada de Laurentiis and I have all her cookbooks.

5. Next to stitching my other favorite thing to do is cook, I wish I could go to go to culinary school.

6. I am a bit of a perfectionist and a complete neat freak. I really like to vacuum, LOL.

7. I only drink water out of glass, no ice. I do like ice in soda.

8. My favorite candy is Cadbury mini-eggs. I buy 20-30 bags at Easter since that's the only time I can get them :-).

I've decided not to tag anyone else. I love answering the questions, so ask away, I just don't want to tag other people. I hope that's okay.

I've been working on BBD's Their Song but I haven't made enough progress to make a picture worthwhile. I will post one in a few days. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

A Great Exchange, More Finishes and a Trip to the LNS...

I received the most gorgeous Exchange gift from Marie today! The theme was Potting Shed or Garden exchange. She made me a notebook, can you imagine. She also sent me lots of other bits and pieces. Thank you again Marie!

This is my MIL's Mother's day gift! It's Shepherd Bush Thankful Sheep and I got the Jill Rensel mats for it. It's so cute, I might have to stitch it again for me :-).

I also finished my mom's Mother's Day present, Shepherd's Bush Busy Sheep, can you see the theme, LOL. I also finished her fobs, I was going for 10 or so but decided 7 would have to do. Everything is in the mail so now I just have to wait for it to arrive. I just got off the phone with her and I so wanted to tell her a package was on the way but I really want her to be super surprised. I think she’s got a bit of cabin fever. She’s normally out and about everyday and with my dad’s heart surgery and then his knee replacement they’ve been housebound for going on 4 months now. I think they are ready to resume their normal routine :-).

Last weekend when I was visiting my DH in Oklahoma City. He took me to Tulsa to shop at the Silver Needle, isn't he a sweetie. I got a gorgeous half yard cut of 36 count lakeside vintage examplar. I also picked up two SB Needle rolls, Tudor and Long May She Wave, I made this one for Cathy and it was cute I wanted one for myself :-). I also got the fabric for finishing SB's Be Calm. I got Plum Street Samplers Stories to Live By Jonah along with the Crescent Colours to stitch it. Finally I got one of the LHN pieces that comes with the threads. The shop is amazing, they have so many models it is mind boggling. I am happy I can say I've been there at least once.

Life has been so busy lately, I've been to Oklahoma twice in the last month, between my trips I've been working at my new job, which is wonderful, BTW. We've also been getting ready for my DD's graduation. Her prom is tomorrow, I can't wait to see her all dressed up! Our DS, JD has moved out. He's sharing an apartment with a friend. I think Shelby, our dog, is glad to have her "room" back. She loves the bed in there, LOL.

I so appreciate everyone taking the time to read and/or comment on my blog. I am having so much fun with it! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend :-).
