I did it! I finished all the ornaments for my kids, my nieces & my nephews!! I am so glad I am done! I need to finish putting the strings through them & do two more pictures but they are done!! I can finally move onto something else!!!

We put up a few Christmas decorations this weekend! I just cant seem to wait! I love this time of the year!!!! We have a busy weekend coming up too. We have Thanksgiving at our house with my husbands family & then on Sunday we have our baking day! Every year since I have been a little girl we all get together to make cookies. Theres usually about 17 of us, parents & kids that bake! We bake over 5 different kinds of cookies and usually end up with over 700 cookies! We freeze them and them divide them up on Thanksgiving for everyone to take home and enjoy! I cant wait!!!

Time is flying! I cant believe its the second week of November already! This is my favorite time of year so it needs to slow down so I can enjoy it!!!! I already have my Christmas mugs out & the kids wanted to put their Christmas trees in their rooms so we did that this past weekend. I am ready to put more stuff out!!! I have been listening to Christmas music for a week now!! I have one more ornament to go then they are all finished for my nieces & nephews for this year! I will post them when I am done.

I did finish a covered bridge for my grandma. She loves covered bridges!! I have also been knitting fingerless gloves for gifts. These have been going pretty fast!

Victoria made a traveling volleyball team & Jacob made a traveling basketball team so we are off and running again!! Now we have volleyball, softball pitching lessons, softball, basketball & baseball practices!! I will never see my house again!! I love watching the kids play, I just wish we didnt have all the practices!!!

Time to stitch!! Have a great day!!

UGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH! I hate being sick!! I have been down for 6 days now with a sinus infection! It has left me weak!! Today is the first day I have been off the couch for more than 10 minutes! I need to get back among the living!!! I am just glad the kids arent sick. Chuck was down for a few days with a terible cough but so far thats it!! I think I may be on the mend! I have trick or treat candy to buy still! I sent Chuck to get candy & he bought the cheapest kind! Bad man, now I have to go get better candy!

I did manage to work a little bit on the my aunts gift but thats about it, just to weak and to tried! I need to kick things in gear, lots of gifts to get done!!!

Busy times!!! I feel like we are never home!!! We run between volleyball & football right now! Yesterday we celebrated our daughters "13th" birthday! Where does the time go?!?! I cant believe she is a teenager! I think she had a great day yesterday! Forthe last 3 years she & my 2 nieces havemade a Haunted Trail in our basement for the family to go through onher birthday. Theyjust keep getting better & better. The kids really enjoy the trails & the grown ups do too!

I am still working on all my picture ornaments! In between them I started on a picture for my aunt for Christmas. She loves cows so every year I make her a cow picture. I think I am going to turn this one into a pillow when I am done. Well, off to buy Jacob some jeans since he deided to play football in his best pair of pants!!

A weekend of stitching! We watched football, caught up on our dvr shows & I stitched! Took time out Saturday for Jacobs football game..they won!! Great job Jacob! Did some housework inside & out but mostly I stitched!!

I have been working on my picture Christmas ornaments. Every year since my kids were born, I make them an ornament & I put their picture in the middle. I also started making them for my nieces & nephews too so now I make 11 of them every year. I am getting tired of the same patterns so if anyone has any photo ornament patterns that they are willing to share, please let me know!!! This is a picture of the first one done for this year & the next one started! I will keep showing you them as I go!

Way to go Bengals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Fall! I finished the Bengal shirt but I forgot to take a pictureof it! My grandma loved it!! I will try to get a picture soon! I am glad she had it for Sundays game! Way to go Begals!!

I made one of the Halloween ornaments from the new magazine. I decided toput a magnet on the back & hang it on the fridge. I think I will make a few more Halloween ones then start on Christmas!! I love this time of year!!

Lots of cleaning to do today! I keep stitching and stitching for others but no one cleans my house for me!?!

Have a great first day of fall!!!!

Welcome to the Jungle!!! My grandma has been wanting a Bengals sweatshirt for a year now & has not received one so I have decided to make her one! I am hoping to have it done by Saturday so she can wear it for the season!

Victoria did great in her volleyball game last night! She had 8 serves in a row last night & 18 in a row last Thursday! She is really doing super!! Jacob had another good football game! He is starting to like tackling people more and more! Boys!!!

Off to try & get some stitching done before the day gets to crazy! Have a great day!!
