~ Whatcha Working On Wednesday ~

Here we are hump day...already half way through the week. Where does the time go? Guess what I woke up to this morning??? SNOW! Abigayle was so excited, thinking that when she got home from school she was making a snow man. She soon found out that the snow was gone by 2:30pm. I was happy :) BUT she was not!

Hubby is home...yeah!!! He arrived at 8:10pm, Monday night at the airport. His plane came in late! He flew from Atlanta to Toronto - Toronto to Fredericton. But once he was in Toronto they were having computer problems which caused a 6 hour delay. Fredericton is two hours away from home so I had to stick around in the City waiting for him to get in. Boy was I happy to see his face and he was happy to be home. It was a long day for the both of us. While I waited for him I did alot of window shopping!!! I did make a purchase though at the Fabric Store...some beige and black check material. I have been wanting this fabric for quite sometime now to make a valance in my Dining Room. Now I have to get my butt in gear and get sewing.
Hubby had a blast! He did not win anything but still came home with tons of free gifts. All the men swapped a little bit of everything with each other. He was full of stories and pictures. He said that everyone he met where the most nicest, kind hearted people. It looks like this may be a annual thing...

Today is another ~Whatcha Working On Wednesday~...
Last night I started my very first stitchery and boy am I liking it!!!
I am actually almost completed, as you can see here.
But I do have questions???
I bought Wax Free Tracing Paper to trace the pattern onto my material,but it did not show up very well at all. Is there something else out there that you guys use to make the pattern more visible? It took me almost an hour to trace the pattern...the part that I liked least. I'm thinking that has to be something else out there. Also once the stitchery is done, am I able to coffee/tea die my material to give it that aged look? I don't want to mess anything up. If this works out as planned, I have a couple other patterns to make. I am now planning my Christmas/Winter Decorations...thinking my next one will be a winter pillow. I want to frame this one that I am making right now.

I have been yet again given another Award :) I am so grateful each and everytime I am given one. Kath from The Olde Weeping Cedar has awarded me with the "Kreativ Blogger Award". If you have yet been over to her blog, you should run on over. It's a great blog! I love reading what she has been up to and everything else :)
The rules are as follows; You need to list six things that make you happy, and pass this award on to six creative bloggers.

1- My husband, Mike
2- My daughters, Tabitha & Abigayle
3- My mini-poodle, Daisy
4- Life
5-All of my other Family
6- My Friends

There are so many "Creative Bloggers" out there that I can not just choose six, so I choose all of you. If you would like to participate, please grab the award and post it on your blog.

I have also been tagged by Ashley from "Passion for Prims".
I believe I have participated already once before but I am gamed to do it again...

1- Link to your tagger and list these rules on your blog.

2- Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.

3- Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blog. Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

So here goes...

1- I am a VERY PICKY eater! I am NOT gamed to try anything and everything. I eat only two kinds of meats, chicken and pork. In the summer I guess I will have the odd burger but that is it for red meat.

2- I would LOVE to own a very old home and restore it...but that wont happen because hubby is fed up of renovations...LOL

3- I dream of owning my very own Primitive Store and putting what I make in it but also having a little area with baked goods and homemade sweets.

4- I am a COFEE HOLIC, Tim Hortons at that!!! I have to have my coffee when I get in the morning and I have seen myself even have one in the evening. I know it's bad but it could be worse right???

5- I LOVE dogs and hate to hear when someone is abusing one. Just like the old saying, "A dog is a man's best friend". They listen to you with attention, they give you so much love, they love to cuddle all the time, they great you at the door with so much excitment. There is so much about a dog, the list could go on. My little Daisy is my baby girl :)

6- I have two SOAP OPERAS that I have to watch on a continous basis...Day's of our Lives and Guiding Light. I have been watching these programs for years...I feel like I have grown with the people...LOL. I know, that is bad but they are my two favorite programs.

7- My most prized possesion are my Grandmother's dishes that are well over 55 years. She gave them to me when I graduated High School. I had a special cabinet made just for them. I have threatned my husband that I better never see them out on the table, even if the King or Queen came home for supper. These dishes can not be replaced.

So there you all go...a little bit more about me :)
I am now suppose to tag seven people but it seems like every blog I have visited has already been tagged. So if you have not been tagged, consider tagged and post seven things about you.

I hope everyone is having a Wonderful Fall Wednesday or for some Winter Wednesday...LOL
