Pretty sure this a picture of Kirstie and me...

...at some point in our lives!

I hope you’re having a wonderful day! Come tell me all about it!
Happy stitching!

Breakfast in Bed

I started on the umbrella the evening of my last post. I didn't  want the chicks to get wet with the thunderstorm here! ;) The lil' chick at the end wasn't covered yet, but it's hatching, so it is already wet anyway. 

There is suppose to be a polka dot somewhere in the circle, but I somehow missed it. Not sure what I'm going to do about it yet. 

The lil' one is covered now. Definitely a crackup though!

Peppy was having breakfast in bed when I got home from work the other day.

 

Can't say I blame him, it was a wonderful day for breakfast in bed. Or a breakfast picnic, whichever he preferred. 

 I'm back at work today. Not too terribly much to report. I finally updated my budget, so that is good. Annoying to do, but good to have done! How have all of you been? 

I hope your day is awesome!

Egg-cellent

 It's a little hard to see, but the 3 chicks baby brother or sister is now there and beginning to hatch!

 And here is a picture of Mr. Smokey that Kirstie sent me. :)

 I hope that your day is going well.
 Happy Stitching!

Many happenings

 So, I think the comment issue might be fixed. Not totally sure, but some test comments are coming through now.  If you try to comment and it won't let you, please shoot me an email at the thesewhappystitcher@gmail.com. Thanks!
 
 In other news, I have a new partner today. I'm not really sure what to call him; until now, he couldn't work the same shift I work because of his other job. I think for now I will call him Milkshake since he really wanted one, and we went to Braum's. Works for now. Anyway, so when you are working with someone you haven't worked with yet, especially so when they are going to be your new full time partner, you want to make a good impression. You really hope not to do anything embarassing, because EMS folks tend to talk, with few exceptions, and you never know what kind of jokes or nicknames you will have to put up with. Anyway, all had gone well throughout day. He helped, kept a good attitude, yada, yada, yada. On the way to Braum's, all seems well. When suddenly, Disney's "I'll Make a Man Out of You" from the movie Mulan starts to play. We-ll guess who's cell phone was hooked up to the ambulance's bluetooth and randomly decided to start playing my Disney Pandora station? Yup, you guessed it. Of course, since I am not cool, and am a naturally awkward individual, instead of playing it cool and acting like, "Oh, wow, somethings up withe radio in this truck." I had to turn the bluetooth off of my phone- something Milkshake noticed.  Yep, great impression of being an adult, Emmy! Oh, well, it could be worse. A song I don't like could've played. Or "Shiny" from Disney's Moana could have played, and then I probably would have told him that that song plays in my head a lot while washing the truck. And that I sometimes play it while washing Bumblebee... which would have been a fun discussion about why I named my car. Yep, I totally play life cool!
  I did squeeze some stitching in today. I havn't have much time since finals are almost upon us. Instead, my time has been going to studying and reading a ridiculous number of novels. Seems to be how it goes around final time- oh look, I read an entire page of study stuff, I should go and read an ENTIRE mystery now! Yep, that pretty much sums it up! Great study habit, right?

Before:

At this point:

The third chick has joined his buddies!!! Yay!
 If Smokey was at work with me, he would want me to show youns his pretty nails:

He has taken to sitting, laying, and sleeping in such a way that at least one pawful of pretty nails shows. Except in the second to last photo, but that was because he knew I wanted a picture of his nails, and he likes to be a turd. Look how smug he is!

 Banjo had to go to the vet. Now, with the exception of bringing him home as a puppy, he has not been on car rides. While just a pup, he was hit by a pickup, and is extremely incontinent. But, he was peeing blood, so a car ride it was. He loved it! He didn't even want to leave the vet's office. No one in my family is normal, especially myself, so it makes sense that my dog would like the vet instead of fearing or hating him. Crazy dog! :)
Here are pictures of his car ride:

 He didn't believe me when I told him the entire Wacky Pack was for him! He knew we were getting french fries- I was already planning on picking up some for him, but that was the bribe that got him to finally exit the vet's office. He greatly enjoyed his burger and fries. Sadly, the toy was a choking hazard, but Mom gave him a toy, so he was happy! He is almost done with his antibiotics for a bladder infection, and is back to his happy, hyper self. He had the vet convinced that he was a calm, good boy! *Snicker*
 Let's see, what else happened? I turned 25 on the 25th. It was a wonderful day. Got to break the rules to go to Braum's for ice cream. Picked up BBQ. Mom and I looked at patterns. Dad and Mom's gift to me will be patterns. We haven't finished picking them out yet- there are too many awesome ones to choose from. Kirst and I broke the rules the day before to go to Walmart, although I still argue that a birthday cake and gifts counts as essential. Don't you agree?
 Gotta go, we just got a call!

Tulip House Returns

I hope this finds all of you safe and well! I took these pictures a few days ago. I love it when their tulips bloom!
 Happy Stitching!

Monday Blah

 For some reason today, I am having a hard time finding the motivation to exercise. My zipity left, and my do-dah is just not cutting it!
  Normally, when I get off of work on a Sunday morning, I have to rush home to shower and hope I won't be too terribly late to church. When I got off yesterday morning, I went to Walmart instead since church is closed. I gathered up a few needed items, and then looked at stitchy supplies and movies. They had one of the colors I needed (yay!), but not the other (boo!). I've noticed that cross stitch kits have been hit hard here lately at Walmart; maybe we will have new friends to join our stitching obsession thanks to all of this madness! Anyway, I checked movies and found out that the Walmart had cut their movie selection in half- definitely a sad moment for me. Most of what they had was raunchy comedies (not my flavor), preschool (again, not my flavor), and horror (definitely not my flavor). Since I struck out in the movie department, I decided to look at games. While 3 of the 4 of us are considered "essential workers" (Mom works daycare and Dad is in the food industry), the one stuck with only getting out for groceries is definitely an extrovert, so I've been looking for things to cheer her up and give the rest of us a break from endless laundry and vacuuming at home. I found THIS:

I definitely couldn't resist, given the current situation! I haven't gotten anyone to play with me yet, but as I do, I'll let you know if its fun.
 I've been stitching a bit here and there, but the bulk of what I have accomplished has been an Easter gift for my Mom, who reads this blog (hi Mom!). Sadly, I don't have a picture of my other project(s) uploaded right now. I'll try to get a picture for youns soon!
 I hope all of youns are having a good day and taking of yourselves and your loved ones!
 Happy Stitching!
