Stitching at the Shop

On Tuesdays, the shop has day or night stitch-ins. I came for the evening session. We had a blast! Let me introduce you to new friends and follow stitchers! First of is Terrie, the shop owner, and my boss! Anyone who brings chocolate for us to snack on is #1 in my book, then there's Kristine, my bosom buddy! She is a hoot! Love working with her!!! Next is Diane, who is now retired from teaching children for 35 years. Amazing! After listening to her, I wished she would have taught me math instead of Coach Albert(I flunked his Algebra class), I'm a bad person because there was one other lady, but I can't remember her name. I plead early Alzheimer's. We were there until 10pm and it was fun! So if your in GA, drop by one Tuesday night for laughs and chocolate!

I'm holding alittle bitty pin keep for Doreen at work, it was her birthday and I wanted to do alittle something nice for her. When we are paired up in the dish room, she really helps out and makes the workload manageable. I'm on the register 3 days and in the dish room the other two.

I've got my ornament stitched, just need to assemble it! I found the perfect tassel for it! Wahoo!!!!

I will soon be depositing my body in front of the fire, so friends, have a great night.

BTW, John's cousin Glendon passed away with his valiant fight with cancer. Please keep John's family in your prayers again. (Let's hope this doesn't start another year of death and gloom for us!)

Budding Designers............

Last weekend, Jacob and his pal Russell came home with fleece sweatshirts and throws. They decided that they would improvise and create a better snuggie. Let me introduce to you "Sleevies", perfectly made to fit a student's body, perfect for cold dorm rooms!

I helped sew those buggers. It's close to midnight when they say: let's sew our blankets. Well, it was fun, even though I had to re-sew Russell's sleeve arm a couple times. Hey, it was late!

We did get a snow day today. It was mostly an ice day, but it was nice not having to get up early and get out of the toasty bed. :)

I've got to work tomorrow at the cross stitch shop, so I'm getting my outfit ready tonight. I'm gonna take my camera to try and sneak some pictures for y'all!

Hugs,

More Pictures..........

Finally....new pictures of our Christmas

My Dad saved the day by taking pictures. I remembered the camera, but forgot the memory card for the camera. Baby Alora is a sweet pea, very happy baby. We had alot of fun over at my parents' house. Good food, great company and a closeness that makes our family special. Picture heavy my friends!

On the shop end, our grand opening was huge. We were so busy! It was an exciting day for me. Someone from North Carolina recognised me as DaisyGirl! How cool was that! I felt like a rockstar! I work again this Saturday, I'm thinking it will also be busy as our grand opening because of stitchers who work or teach, they wouldn't have had a chance to come on Monday. No Tammy, I didn't open a cross stitch shop, my friend Terrie opened her cross stitch shop and I'm lucky to get to work there! :)

They say it's gonna snow tonight here in GA, but I doubt it! So most likely not gonna get a snow day. :(

Hugs,

Grand Opening at the Stitch Store!

I'm almost ready for tomorrow. I need to iron my clothes so I can be ready in the morning. Jacob helped me get all the marshmallows ready with toothpicks. We are having a chocolate fountain and we are gonna have marshmallows, strawberries, plus petite'a fours, little sandwiches, I am making egg salad sandwiches plus pumpkin bread. It's gonna be a party at the Stitch Store.
So if your nearby, drop by and visit the shop. We have worked hard to get the shop ready. It's gonna be an exciting day. Wish us luck friends! Hope to blog tomorrow!
Hugs,

A Simple Prayer...........

Dear Lord,

I don't understand and I am weary with death. I know you must have a plan, because you are God and I don't question you anymore. I just ask that you help your child deal with the sorrow of yet another beloved one's death. I know that Mr. Corley is finally home and no longer in pain. Ray Corley was my parents' best friend. He and Kathleen were like grandparents to me. When I was little, my very first trip to Six Flags was made possible by them. I still remember the excitement of that day. They became a part of my life, graduation, wedding, and births of my children. They were there. And I will miss him. I pray Lord that you help Kathleen Corley and her family deal with such a terrible loss. I love you Mr. Corley, thank you for being such a wonderful example of Christ and for taking the time to help a teenager deal with life!

I also pray Lord that you help Glendon's journey home be swift and filled with peace and not pain. Glendon is Johnny's cousin. He is dying from cancer. I also pray for 2010 to be a better year filled with happiness and not much sorrow.

Love, your child,

DaisyGirl

Wonderful Memories

Wishing everybody a big hug and smiles! We had a wonderful Christmas, I feel blessed that God allowed us another year together. Thank you Lord. I got to finally see my grand niece Alora. Such a little bundle of joy. I will post pictures as soon as my sister Cathy emails them to me. We forgot the memory card for the camera. Duh! So I'm hoping that my Dad or brother Patrick and Cathy got good pictures. So as soon as I get them, I'll post them.

I got to meet my brother's girlfriend y'all, and I already love her. I swear it felt like I've known her all my life. A kindred spirit as Anne of Green Gables would say. She is so lovely, and her eyes sparkle! She does have two children, I got to meet the little one Terrie, that little guy has already won over my heart. He is 4 years old and the sweetest thing ever! I pray that God will lay his hands over Patrick and Kelly and their love will blossom. I so want my little bro to be happy and have a family too. ( I love you Patrick!)

Jason and Jacob are turning into wonderful young men and I'm blessed that they don't mind spending time with our family. I know it's hard when they could be out with their friends, but I appreciate every time they give me their time. I love you boys.

I've got to get my ornament in the mail on Monday. Tomorrow is Sunday and I'm gonna rest after having run solid since Tuesday! I'm tuckered out.

I hope that all who read my words will take the time to hug a loved one today!

Love,

DaisyGirl

MERRY CHRISTMAS FRIENDS!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas spent with loved ones and friends. I promised my nephew Jackson that I'd post his picture of Christmas Eve over at Grandmama's house. He got his Transformer Bumblebee and another one I can't guess whats it's name is. Elizabeth got lots of Miley Cyrus clothing, which she loves. Everyone enjoyed opening presents at Grandmama's house.

I will post more later. I finally get to meet my grandniece baby Alora today. I can't wait!

Later my friends!

Happy Birthday to my Jason!

Twenty years ago today, I was blessed with an early Christmas present: Jason! It doesn't seem possible for twenty years to have passed. I was so happy to have you and Daddy and I were ready to become the best parents ever. Infant, toddler and preschool whizzed by way to quickly. Grade school, middle and finally high school. We were so proud of you graduating and I know that life will always continue to throw you curve balls, you just need to remember that Momma and Daddy love you and are always there for you no matter what!
Happy Birthday Jason! We love you!
