Snowmen Stitchery complete

Well, I finished the snowman stitchery! Here it is!

It didn't take as long as I thought. Next thing is to really get to work on deciding what to do with it. 

Actually I lied... I already started a new piece of Mickey Mouse and Minnie dancing for my dear dear Aunt who loves Mickey and Minnie! I think she is going to be pleased... again, in the end I will have to decide just what to do with them. Then I really would like to get back to work on some felt projects I really wanted to have done before Christmas arrives. I am pretty sure my time is running short though. Soon the hustle and bustle of the holiday season will over take my crafting time, and before I know it I will be left with many unfinished works. Nothing new LOL

 For now, I think I will hit the hay, much to-do before we head to Old Town for Thanksgiving. It will be my husbands first holiday with his father. A memory for him that I am sure will be cherished!

Catching up

It's been a while I know.. but holy cow we have been super busy! We spent one weekend in Old Town with the hubbies family which was a blast, can't wait to do it again! We went to Fort Knox's  Fright Night at the Fort... let me tell you what, that was awesome! I am definitely going next year,  but with no children this time. Poor Samantha, who was the most excited to go, spent the entire tour crying her eyes out and screaming bloody murder! It was so bad, the goblins and ghosts who were supposed to be scaring us, were apologizing for scaring her! Really it was quite funny. We followed that with a stop at the Witches Foot in Bucksport. The hubby could not resist jumping her there LOL! A good time! Here are some pics!

Scott had told his sister Mary to make a scary face.. he was the only one who did LOL

The following night we went to see The East Coast Ghost Trackers premier at Penobscot Theater in Bangor. That was pretty neat. Scott's sister Aimee Jo almost pee'd her pant when she found out the Theater itself has been investigated and found to be hosting some spirits! The girls were all decked out for our next adventure which was the Halloween Party at the Karaoke Bar they frequent. They also took us out to Ruby Tuesdays for dinner to celebrate my birthday which was so awesome of them to do! This was our first evening out without kids, and in the company of other adults in soo long. We had a great time, even if Mary and Aimee made us sing at karaoke!

I am never in the photo's... always the photographer, never the photographed!

The following day was Halloween.. here are the kiddo's!

Nicholas aka Freddy Crueger, Kaitlynn aka little miss Genie of the Lamp, Samantha aka punk rocker girl

Since then, life has been centered around kids activities, housework, work and many many errands. My Birthday fell in the mix of all that, and I got LOTS of FELT and FELT related items! It was great. I also got to finish my Penny Mat which I think came out pretty well!

Wish I was better at taking pics of my work, but here it is :)

And that about makes us pretty current. I am working on a stitchery project now of these oh so adorable snowmen I got the pattern for in the Better Homes and Gardens Christmas Craft Magazine I picked up on Saturday. It's so cute..  I will post some pics when I am further along. Does anyone out there know this though... I am doing it in red work, and am curious what you use to transfer your pattern? I used a black shapie, but I am nervous if I don't hit the lines just right, you will still be able to see black marker? So, all you stitcher's out there.. what do you use ?
