Hump Day .. finally!

Happy day after St. Patrick's Day. I hope you all had a wonderful day and didn't drink too much green beer! We had a great evening with my dad, Chris and Monica and yummy corned beef. Here's a picture of my table before everyone arrived ...

I just love tulips .. heck I really love most all fresh flowers .. pretty aren't they :)

and here's a St. Patrick's Day toast from my house to yours .. Cheers!

I have been stitching a little bit, two things are still in the mail somewhere between here and there .. I hope they arrive soon so I can share pictures with you :) The Friendship RR I'm participating in just started. Here's a picture of Kathy's RR .. I "borrowed" this picture off Kathy's blog because it shows all the lovely colors she picked for her RR and the picture I took of my heart was all washed out ...

I really enjoyed stitching on Kathy's RR .. hope she likes the heart :)

Tonight I'm stitching on Peppermint Twist again .. I haven't stitched on it in over 2 weeks and I've missed it! I really am in love with this design. I'll post a picture tomorrow of my progress .. I should get a nice amount done while watching American Idol. I'm really enjoying AI, I think the boys are so much better than the girls this year. Right now Anoop and Danny are my favorites. Anoop's version of Always On My Mind was incredible last night! Kris and Michael are also really good right now .. and wow, Matt really nailed it last night. Should be interesting to see who goes tonight .. one of the girls I think.

One last thing .. my favorite topic .. coffee! lol .. I received a sweet RAK from Edgar over the weekend .. a bag of coffee beans from the Blue Bottle Coffee Company .. can't wait to try it! Thanks Edgar :)


and lastly .. have you seen this new release from Little House Needleworks?? OMG I love it!!! but then I'm only a little in love with sunflowers! lol


Thanks to very one for all your comments .. I really enjoy reading them! Off to stitch ...

I hope you find your joy in your stitches ...

I'm grateful for family parties ...

Coffee Stash Coffee Stash ...

OMGosh have you seen the newest coffee design from LHN?? How cute is Frap! and being a Latte girl, I can't wait to see it stitched up! I'm in love! Can't wait to see the three Tea designs *smile* Now can someone find me a few more hours in the day so I can stitch?



Speaking of stitching .. my goal for the weekend is to finish my Pals Sampler, a Christmas ornament that I keep having to frog .. grrrr .. and do some serious stitching on my Family Sampler .. I really don't want to start anything new until I get those done .. but dammm there is so many things old and new that I want to stitch! Well, maybe if I got off this computer I'd have some stitching time .. but hten what fun would that be .. no blog reading/posting? That's just not right! lol .. well, off to my stitching now .. hope everyone is having a great week .. TGIF!
I'm grateful for new stash, especially coffee related *grin*

One of my passions/addiction is coffee .. I love drinking it, I love collecting coffee cups, but now I have more to add to my addiction of coffee .. have you seen this yet?



OMGosh!! it's wonderful and it's one of three coffee designs that Little House Needleworks is doing .. I just put myself on auto for these design (with Down Sunshine Lane). I've already stitched Spot of Coffee (just need to frame it) and have Coffee Menu in my stash .. now with these other new coffee design .. I might have to rework my kitchen wall to display all these yummy designs .. I'm in coffee heaven! lol

This week has been pretty good for stitching .. I started L*K's "Good Things" .. it's a very fun stitch. I also put a few stitches in my Pals sampler and finished stitching one exchange and one PIF .. now I just have to finish them .. which is the thing that takes the longest for me .. I am soooo finishing challenged .. it takes me a long time to get the confidence to cut the stitched piece .. I'm always afraid I'll cut too much and not have enough room to finish it .. I'm taking the day off tomorrow, I have a dr's appt in the middle of the day, so I think I'll try finishing tomorrow .. have all day to take my time .. hopefully I'll be happy dancing by the end of the day with two finishes lol ...

Hope everyone has had a great week, including some stitching time. I'm off to watch Burn Notice .. very good show!

I'm grateful for my passion of coffee ...
