I learned a new trick!!!

 Well, rather a new stitching technique! 




Peppy was too much of a pretty boy for regular x’s to convey- this matches his pizzazz a bit better! 

Here’s a link to videos that helped me learn this!!!!

I hope you all have been well! This day at work started off frustrating, but a bagel, nap, and, most importantly, stitching have made it much better!!!!! Things have gotten cold here- just a couple of days ago we were seeing 70s/80s, but that appears to be gone now… makes me want to grab a fuzzy blanket and my stitching! 

  Happy stitching!

Quick Update/Remembering Peppy


Hello friends! 

  This will just be a quick update! 

  As far as life goes, I’m full time as a paramedic again at the company I started at while I was in nursing school. I’m out in the county, which I love, and for a brief time, my partner was someone that I consider to be a very good friend. Unfortunately, there was a partner swap when the other crew on our shift announced that they would like to officially start dating (lots of drama there, so I’m not going to dwell on that). I miss my old partner, but for the most part love my coworkers in our county. Plus, my friend and I pick up city shifts together, and chat often! :)


My house is slowly coming along, but there is progress!!! I’ll try to post pics soon. 


I’m other news, Pepperoni, aka Peppy passed yesterday. His health deteriorated, and an infection was underrated, so my uncle made the hard decision to have him it down so he wouldn’t be in pain anymore. He got his favorite apples beforehand, and even gave me one last hug. One thing that helped was when he used the special whinny he only used to call Bullet, followed by his soft nicker. I’m sure Bullet and him are enjoying a wonderful reunion, and Banjo and him are playing tag now. I still am going to miss that ornery guy something fierce, he was definitely my buddy. 






  In other news, I’m working on a new project  I’m pretty sure there have been several since I last posted, but I doubt I finished any of them😣🤪, so they should crop up again eventually!

 My current project is Better Roads by Foxwood Crossing cross Stitch Designs  I’ve substituted the red for 817, I think that’s the only change, although I likely will stitch the horse to match Peppy’s colors.




And, to end on some cuteness: 




Smokey was actually quite happy with his costume. Ladybug was tired and begrudgingly agreed to wear it for a short time  Nala was not super thrilled, but allowed me take a few quick photos.

  Happy Stitching,

The Ozarks and Time

Hello Friends!

   It appears that the Ozarks can no longer tell time. Whilst riding in the back of the boo boo bus (we have a new guy today), I saw the sign outside of a sketchy looking bar saying “come celebrate the new year with us this Friday.”  I thought to myself, maybe it’s the Chinese New Year- Google revealed that nope, that’s done and gone. So either Sign Guy is drunk (likely), or I’m very confused and should probably be checked for a stroke (slightly less likely, but absolutely possible). 

  It’s rainy today, and I’m sure my hair is getting larger by the minute. How is weather where you are? Please tell me youns have been having a more exciting than myself! 


*Accurate representation of me today*

  Happy Stitching!
