Stitching, Shopping, and Stuff...


This three-day weekend will not be wasted one bit. We're working on the kitchen, the doors for upstairs, putting on some finishing touches on the Christmas decorations too. I've been spending my free moments stitching, reading, and catching up
on the overflowing DVR. #1 son has to work this weekend, so I've been able to fight the people at the mall. I'm not fond of
Christmas shoppers who are not familiar with mall driving or etiquette. I tend to get a bit verbal. It's not nice. I often threaten to run them over with my big ole truck (yup, I drive a Suburban) but I actually haven't run anyone over (yet). Tomorrow hubby and I are going to put a quick coat of paint on the cabinets and head out to finish up the Christmas shopping.
The plan is to have all the shopping finished, the cabinets completely finished, and the upstairs doors hung, primed, and ready to be painted. IF we get all of that done, we might get nutty and try to put up the bead-board in the hallway, but I'm not counting on it. Have to go grocery shopping too. But, in my down-time I'll be stitching and reading until the wee hours. I hope to have some pictures to share on Monday of what I've stitched and what we've accomplished this weekend.

I hope you are enjoying YOUR long holiday weekend.

Wow! You have been one busy girl! Doesn't it feel great getting so much accomplishd?! We did some Black Friday shopping ourselves. Only had one annoying person hogging all the deals. Not too bad for being out about 17 hours straight:)

Just wanted you to know that I printed out that prayer for Thanksgiving and read it before we ate. I barely made it to the end without crying, and there were several teary eyes in the room.

Thanks for sharing. It really suited the day. And how very thankful we all should be.

Hope you had a great (and productive) weekend!

Hope your weekend was as productive as you wanted it to be! I'm pretty verbal with stupid drivers myself! I'm going to be in trouble when I have children!

You've already been over to my place to see that we had a wonderful long weekend. : ) And I'll be anxiously waiting to see what you're stitching. I love stichery too, but haven't done any in awhile.
