Hi, Primmies ~
A little post from me to let you know to visit 
The Freebie Gallery where they always have
wonderful free charts to cross stitch.


Here is the link to The Primitive Hare free
Valentine chart. It's a lovely, simple little
stitchery:

Isn't it sweet? I'd love to get one of these stitched
before Valentine's Day!

JUST CHECKING IN

Update: I just looked at the live web cam and it looks like Mom and Dad Eagle are really building up the nest bowl. Mom laid her eggs around 
Feb. 23rd last year so it looks like they are right on schedule. I'm so excited.
I can't wait to see the new eaglets this year. But there's A LOT of hard work ahead for the Mom and Dad before we get to that point. If you want to read their story click www.ustream.tv/decoraheagles
and scroll down to read the whole story about the Eagles and last year's egg laying and hatching and fledging.
They really are a fascinating couple, they will mate for life. They've been together about 5 +years now!


Hello, Primmies -


I'm just saying "Hi" and I'm trying to get more stitching done on Polly Daggett. I've been reading your blogs and commenting but seem to be so far behind in my reading. I've just found where I left off and I'm still not through the "one day ago"  posts. So I've got to read  faster I guess! I am reading all of your blogs and I WILL finish and get caught up, you know me!
We're about the same here health wise, the mister had another EMG done yesterday on his legs and lower back. There was much better news from those tests than on the arms and neck. There's no nerve damage in the legs so that's great news. I guess the next step for us is another round of the spinal injections. We had mixed results for each one of us which makes sense because we've got totally different problems but very similar  symptoms. I was talking to Margie of Hungry Hook Primitives today and I asked her which one of us was going to take care of who now that we're both a mess?? I try to be funny when there's a problem, that's the best way to get through things, humor. We still laugh a lot here, even though it's tough most of the time. If we didn't laugh I don't know how we'd manage.
I'm hoping to get a lot of stitching done today and through the weekend. We don't have any plans to go anywhere so it's in the house for us. This is a good weekend to get my sampler finished. I'm going to have the hubba take my frame to the shop and see if he can practice learning how to prim up a piece of wood. This is new to him as he is used to the fine finishes of wood and fine furniture. It took him a while to "get" what we gals love as prim and country. 
So I'll close here so that I can get some stitching done, and please know that I will get to all of my blogging friends and I'm reading your posts and I'll do my best to get my comments posted.
Hugs,
Susan

THE EAGLE HAS LANDED

One of the eagles is in the nest right now. I think
it's Mom. Click the arrow and if an ad comes on
that's normal, the live feed starts right after.

MY GIVEAWAY WIN FROM TRICIA OF HILLCREST HOME PRIMS

Hi again, Primmies:


I got my package today from Tricia of
Hillcrest Home Prims . I only knew that
she was sending some Christmas items
and "surprises". Well, oh boy was I
surprised:

             Snowman Shelf Sitter, his little legs dangle

Adorable Snowman Votive Holder, he's on my cupboard shelf next to my Snowman Crock.

This adorable peppermint stripe candle ornie and      a Grubbied Candle Light       

                        Pretty knitted Mitten Ornie   

This was a total drool fest surprise. Wrought Iron Candle Stick that holds the little skinny tapers.

Finally, this wonderful Snowman in Santa Hat. I love everything, Tricia, and I can't believe how
generous you were to me. You are a wonderful
friend. Thank you so much!
I'm way behind reading blogs and commenting
and also on my stitching. I know, bad primmie but 
this primmie has the nasty habit back of not being
able to sleep at night again. So I'm exhausted and
fall asleep in early morning for a few hours. Not
the same as a restful nights' sleep. I haven't had one of those well I can't remember. I am so looking
forward to that visit with the Pain Center in
Boston. I haven't received my appointment yet. It's supposed to be only a two week wait. Finger's crossed...
I have to go with the Mister tomorrow morning, he's having an EMG and he's been having trouble holding on to things so he might want me to drive.
Can you imagine, I guess a lot of you can because
you craft, your hands failing you? He's a woodworker and finish carpenter so it's reeking havoc with him. I feel so badly for him. I hope the doctor can help him, too. He's got a killer headache.
On a happy note, the kitties are all better. Puffy's rash is gone and Biggie isn't losing his meals
as much, just when  he has a  hairball. The special
food from the vet is really helping. They are due for
next treatment of flea and tick med. They are both
sleeping on the top of the sofa next to Mr. Glen Oaks. So sweet, they always know when one of us
isn't doing well. They watched closely while he
colored my hair last night. I don't know what they
were so interested in, Puffy had a worried look.
I always feel special after the Mister does my hair.
I haven't been able to get Tricia so if you happen to read this girl, THANK YOU!
Hugs,

Susan
