Slowing Down

Work is so crazy right now. I'm waiting for other people to finish their jobs before I can do mine and it's stressful. Unfortunately I'll have to put in some hours this weekend since school starts Tuesday.

But this evening, it's cold and it's rainy. Cheese is with his dad and Bill is at football practice. The cats and I have the house to ourselves. They are napping - I'm doing a little of this

and this

I'll be back tomorrow. :-)

My First Award

My dear friend Velda nominated me for a blog award. Thank you so much Velda!

I am supposed to pass this award on to 7 other blogs, however, I think all the blogs I read have been nominated recently. I'm going to save this and pass it out to my friends at a later date. We have a great blog community of stitchers!

Happy Birthday, Cheese

11 years ago today, I was in the hospital waiting for Cheese to arrive. We didn't want to know the gender, but I had a feeling I was carrying a boy. I was instantly in love with my son and have had so much fun with him. He has taught me so much throughout these 11 years. Here are a few of my favorite photos of him.
