One of my new kittens.... I have two new ones. I have been stitching while on my break from school. Ronnie is still here and working and so that's good. I hope I will get some work from the bus garage the second half of the year. I hope 2010 is going to be better than the last 3 or so years. Laurel and I are stitching patriotic and christmas this year.

Wow what's new with Toni???

I have been MIA for a while now....due to a major life upheavel. My son moved here from Florida, My husband left me for his old whore girlfriend of 3 or more years and my daughter and I switched houses. She wanted more room I wanted city utilites and less bad memories and bad karma in my home. All of this adds up to NO STITCHING I do need to fix this. I am still at bus garage and will be going back to school in Dec. Hopefully i will be back with an update soon.

New Puppies

A story of stitching funk and kittens!

I think my mojo has been hanging around with Laurel's. Hers came back though. Mine however seems to just be missing do to I believe cold weather....I want spring! I want it yesterday!!! I am tired of being cold. Is it possible to sleep till spring? I did talk to my oldest daughter and she informs me my oldest grandchild Macy who will be 4 in July, is wanting to be a Ballerina and a Peacock??? LOL So Rosie is going to sign her up for some dance classes. I am off to get pepsi and then a shower and maybe some stitching. Oh and Smoke is doing just fine. He is even getting along with old bubba cat. Here he is laying by little cat earlier today.

Smoke

Is settling in quite nicely I think? Last night all three slept on the bed with me. I haven't stitched in a few days. maybe tonight.

Seven turns into......
