Welcome 2010! All is well in the Speelman household, just busy with birthdays and the holidays. We had a wonderful blessed holiday.

My camera isn't hooked up to this laptop YET, going to get that settled on here ASAP, so I can share pictures of the fam and my stitching.

My goal for 2010 is to finish up some of the UFO's I have (hahaha) and get some other things stitched that I have wanted to.

The boys went shopping today, so it's us girls at home. Did all the chores, now we are watching movies and I am stitching.

I am working on SMO 2010 Jan blackwork. The electric blue is beaUtiful!!! I can't wait to show it!

Be back soon, I hope!!!

Guilty/not guilty!

So what is everyone up to today? Church for us tonight. Other than that, work with Lex on her school work. Not much else. Hunter has early release on Wednesdays. Only an hour earlier. Supposed to be in the 80's. I can't wait till the sun comes up a bit so I can share my Autumn House. It is beautiful. Lookin good ;) 49 days till Phoenix!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so glad that I decided to get the church part done first. The church looks awesome! The stained glass part really adds character! The rest is going to be so much fun I am looking forward to it!! I can't wait to show you!!!!! I saved the best for last!!!!



Have a blessed day all! 24 days till Britt's 15th birthday!!!

Meeeeooooowwww!!!

Hooorraaayyy!! I have a finish! I finished the Long Leg Cat by SMO. When the sun comes up a bit I will take a picture of it and post it. I am so excited. I also started Autumn House by SMO. It will be pretty as well. I am using fabric by Sassy.



So not much on the agenda. Same ole same ole. Cold in the mornings. Supposed to heat up to the 90's again today. House stays nice and cold though. Lex does a bit of school work, tries to keep up on the computer, I watch the trial, right now 2 parents in Oregon on trial for not getting medical care for their 15 month old daughter who passed away. I am glad I am not on the jury because it isn't as black and white as you would think.

Anywho 50 days till Phoenix, woohooo!!!! Very excited. Looking forward to meeting Jackie and Bruce, lots of sun and of course, the second to last NASCAR race!!!!

To leave you for the day, here is a self portrait by Lex of her and Kahlua. Enjoy!!!





Well I must scoot but I will be back later to post that picture. Can't wait to post more!!!! xxxx

First Sept Post!

Happy Sept greetings! So excited to be able to share this! My dad sent me a laptop so I will be able to comment and share a lot more! It is so much faster than our older computer -- I am excited that I will be able to visit you all much more. I am sorry I wasn't able to keep up it is hard to visit when it takes 5 minutes for each page to load, very frustrating!!!!

So last week I was sick. Hard to be sick when you have soccer, 2 football games, well Ellie and Britt's school had homecoming and then Jeff and I had WSU football tickets. We left the 3 girls at home and Hunter spent the night at a friend's. We had an AWESOME time. WSU came back to win the game 20 - 27. It was sooooooooo much fun. I am surprised I am not hoarse from screaming. I loved every minute of it.

I haven't stitched much. I did want to invite others to joy me, Kay and Susie G in our whatever you want to stitch Halloween SAL... Let us know. I will post what I have gotten done so far, but I am stitch Long Leg Cat by SMO. I have about half of the cat done and half of the pumpkin. VERY cute!!!!

Everyone is enjoying school, except for Lex. They STILL don't have her laptop. Although the time isn't up for it to be here yet, so they still have time. That is ok. She still has done the work. It is very hard and challenging for her.

We have watched quite a few interesting court cases! ---

Well I am off to fold my last load of laundry. All the other stuff is done. Soccer practice tonight -- for those I see tonight can't wait!!! xxxx

Cleaning!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank heavens it is Friday! Although in the homemakers world that doesn't mean a whole lot, except everyone will be around all weekend ;) hehehe ... Cleaning today. About to eat some lunch with the girls and then hop in the shower. Head off to Aimee's Attic, drop off a bunch of stuff, then head back, clean out the trailer, do some more laundry and maybe stitch??? Whew!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have 24 Autumn SMO patterns I would like to get done. Think I can do it?? I hope so!

I heard that my blog can be read, but can't post comments. I hope I fixed it. Let me know. If not, maybe someone can help? Anyway, I am off like a herd of elephants. See ya tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May all your x's be crossed....

School's in session!

for Hunter anyway! A bit of quiet! So nice. We got back from camping yesterday afternoon. Just Ellie, Bubba, Jeff and I went. Lex and Britt stayed with different friends of their's. We had a good time. Dirty and no flushing toilets or showers. Lots of good trout though!

Warm during the day cool in the mornings and evenings. Beautiful. Sheila and I took a walk around the lake and ended up in quicksand. The more she laughed the more she got stuck. It was hilarious. I fell too in mud. We told Big Jeff and Jeff that they missed some mud-wrestling LOL...

I haven't stitched much YET either. Been making lots of phone calls today and doing lots of laundry. Sure good to be home!

Soccer starts, I am just really loving this time of year! Happy Autumn/fall ya'll!!!

On the road again..

Well happy end of August! I am not sure if anyone can read my blog or not. If so, would you be so kind as to let me know?? Thank you!!

We have been having such a good time this summer. My dad and stepmom came for a week around my birthday. That was awesome. We went to the coast, we had lots of good food, and just played games and enjoyed each other.

Then Britt went to teen camp for a week. As soon as she got back, we headed out. We went to Wyoming first to see my grandma and uncles. Then we ate breakfast with my mom in Colorado. All along the way we have been camping. We got a pop up trailer. It has been fun! Then we were in Oklahoma visiting Jeff's mom and stepdad and grandma. We had a really good time, really hot though!

Then Britt and Ellie stayed there and Jeff, Hunter, Lex and I went up to South Dakota and took in the sights at Mount Rushmore etc. How beautiful. The Wind Cave was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! We had a really neat time. Lots of laughing.

We went to Montana and got Britt and Ellie last weekend. Tomorrow we are heading out to go camping with some friends. Lex and Britt aren't going.

I haven't done much in the way of stitching while traveling but I sure have missed it so I am sitting here browsing others' blogs and doing a bit.

Well I hope to hear from someone. I don't know what I did to my blog!!! Talk soon!!
