I am almost 40 years old and have been dealing with a severe back ache for a week now. Yes, I did that stupid thing in 1993 and will live with it the rest of my life. Just wait for someone to help you or move everything out of and off of the desk. Yes, I am a little under a month from the big 4-0! It’s hard to believe that I will be turning this milestone soon. It seems like I just turned 30. Oh, I am not d

Colon Cancer Awareness Ribbons ~ An Update

Image
But first, a message from our sponsor: I would like to take a moment to WELCOME my newest followers. Over the past couple of days, I have noticed 4 new followers to my blog. And now, the rest of the story! I picked up Colon (aka Breast) Cancer Awareness Ribbons the other day and did some more stitching on it. I finally decided on DMC 820 to represent the solid dark blue color. Here is where I left things:   I am happy with my color choices, after switching up a little bit. Here are the colors I am using (all DMC): Variations 93 & 121; 3841, 820. Oh, and I have to share pics of the kiddoes with you. Remember this little guy? Well, look at him now! Sandy and Abu both have birthdays coming up. Sandy will be 3 and Abu will be 1 – on the 24th!!! Yup, they were born on the same day. Until next time…

Well, I am on a more normal schedule now. I still have 4 more days where I am driving for about 45 mins to and from work. I am sad that I will be leaving Hernando Correctional, but looking forward to begin my new job at Zephyrhills Correctional. For those who are asking “What is that?”, I work for the State of Florida Department of Corrections. Basically, I work in a prison, lol! I am going from working around female prisoners to male prisoners which is kinda scary, but I know some of the people at ZCI and feel safe enough! With everything I have been dealing with over the past month, mainly the job transition, I haven’t found myself wanting to stitch much. Here are a couple of things I did work on: Coming Home for the Holidays SAL with Joy ! I filled in a little more in the center, especially around the bannister on the porch. Ink Circles’ Breast Awareness Ribbons in shades of blue to represent Colon Cancer. I started this one and plan to finish it by Father’s Day for my dad
