Been awhile

Sheesh, has it ever! I haveta get better about keeping this updated. As it were, life has been crazy round here. We got the ok to build a barn (pig nursery) so that has taken a huge load off DH's shoulders. Lol, I haveta admit the little baby ones are alot cuter than the big ones (I'm not a pig-liking person lol) so if he should need help caring for them I could handle it. They come little and leave only slightly bigger. It's the big ones that I have a problem with, mostly cuz they are the only animal that I lose patience with. Give me the rankest horse or meanest cow and we get along fine but there's something about a pig being stupid that is so frustrating. I've had my share of raising them, and getting stuck on top of a little hut cuz of mean mother sows or boars, so those days are long over. Plus if you've ever seen Charlottes Web it didnt matter if it was a pet, and I've been there too. It's something my kids wont go thru, I wont give them something to work at keeping alive, get attatched to and then take it away to be eaten or pocketed. I mean c'mon! At any rate, the building process is just starting now that the red tape chaos is done, so lol it's just a different chaos really, but now DH can deal with it on site.
I've begun tearing apart the kitchen, my plan is to get most of the icky work done before school starts so I can redo the room in relative peace n quiet once school starts ;). It's so Brady that I cant stand it lol. So a redo is long overdue but it's finally happening so I'm excited about it. Long way to go yet tho.
Stitching. Oh boy, where do I begin. It's been ages, or feels like, since I did any. During the day it's nearly impossible cuz the boys are still in the busybody stage, if I get it out I only get a miute or 2 before I haveta jump up again. I know they wont be little for long, but I could sure use some balance between 'totally depended on' and 'totally ignored' once they do get older. As for WIPs, I was pluggin away at AA last, and would like to finish up Arwen's face and hair, as it's still not done yet. The TW wips have been calling as well, for awhile now, probably cuz there's no way I could even get them out at this point, much less get progress lol. i'm in the mood for a colorful dragon tho :). But once winter comes it might work out better, as I'm indoors most of the time then. Tonite tho I plan on getting fueled up on Dew and having a late nite xs session, hopefully I'll get some progress on Arwen...
