A little something for the fans

Sorry my adoring fans, I'm not going to bore you with a day in the life of us. Mostly we sit at home watching Netflix and playing on the computer. Eventually I will wander off and take some pictures of around where we live, but I'm waiting until it quits snowing so plants can grow and bloom.

What I do have for you today is a couple of pictures of my lovely little project.

This is the first 3 pages. Page 3 ends at the bottom of the longest stems. And that is also the bottom of the cross stitch. YAY!!



And here we have what consists of pages 2 and 3. Page 2 is done, and about half of page 3.



This is to give you an idea of how huge it really is.



I'm sure everyone is very anxious to know what the final product will look like.

Yes, I know I'm completely insane for doing such a huge project. No Lil' Sista it won't be done for Marky, or Isaac's birthdays!

What happens when Little Sister gets a camera

Last week was Help Mom Move week. So Dan took me down there on Sunday and Mom brought me back home the next Sunday. I think it was Thursday we decided to go out to dinner. I decided to shower so I didn't feel like I had been moving all day. While I was in there my Little Sister got a hold of my phone. This is just a little of what I found on it later.


Molly making silly faces (there was a bunch of them).


A happy Marky, he's now 8 months old. And likes his Auntie Meep, I'm one of the few that can hold him without him crying.

Fish City

A little over a year ago I found this really cool cross-stitch pattern. I started it, then we moved and it got packed away and forgotten. A couple of weeks ago I finally pulled it out again and started working on it. Dan decided I'm going to die of old age by the time I get this thing done. It is approximately 1/15 done in this picture.



I know it doesn't look like much yet, but it will look really cool when I get done.

To give you an idea of how big this cross-stitch is, the first page is the entire part down to just below the green and black fish, there is a total of 15 pages. I will keep you updated on this project and others, and anything exciting that happens.




PS. IT'S SNOWING!!!

Happy Valentines Day!!

I was finally brave and made bread all by myself Thursday. Dan was hungry when I took the first 2 loaves out of the oven, so we sliced one and ate on that while I cooked dinner. My 3 loaves are now 1. It looks like I have to make bead again on Monday, hopefully the loaf will last that long. It really is too bad that he doesn't like my cooking.

Meepity Blogness

I decided to start a blog, but don't expect too much, we are pretty dull boring people. By now there are already at least 2 blogs with pictures of the Nephews, and we don't get to see them much so not much chances for us to get new pics. The fishies don't do much so there won't be anything exciting to tell about them.

As some of you may remember a long long time ago Molly found a Look-Alike-Meter to see who Isaac looks like more. Well, I rediscovered it yesterday and decided to play with it since everyone says Isaac looks like me. After many different attempts and photos, it came up that both nephews are between looking slightly (4% was the highest) more like Dan to being even between us. Dan was pretty amused when I told him that yesterday. He said Little Sister will be very disturbed by it.

That's pretty much as exciting as it gets around here.
