Another Crazy Week

It was another busy week full of Dr. Appointments and Errands.  DH (Roger) finally got in to see the surgeon for his eyes and we got good and bad news.  He is totally blind in his right eye and can only see out of a tiny hole the size of a pin head out of his left.  So that's the bad news.  The good news is....  With surgery on his right eye,  he could regain most of his vision back.  So he will have surgery on April 6th.  I am so excited for him.  Then in a month they will go in and operate on his left eye and see what can be done. 

Now today,  I did nothing other then a few loads of laundry and threw some chicken in the crock pot.  And glory be,  I sat and stitch for almost 3 hours while listening to a book on CD. It was so wonderful. I am working on Easter Blessings and I love stitching the Easter eggs the most.

MY PIF is now a RAK

Well,  I don't think my PIF post is going very well.  I'm not sure if I should take it personally or just realize that this is a small blog with just a few followers that more then likely have a bunch of PIF's, RAK's and Giveaways to take care of. 

I think  what I would like to do is turn my PIF post into a RAK post.  I would still like to have the 365 days to get the RAK to you.  I would like to get in 3 more RAK's.  So I have 3 spots left.

I don't have any rules on this one.  But please leave me a comment with your name and blog so I can check it out and try to make your RAK a bit more personal.  
If you like you can mention my RAK on your blog. 
My RAK will close on Sunday the 20th.

Pay It Foward

A couple of months ago I signed up for a PIF.  I really didn't think about it after that.  I pretty much forgot all about till I got an email this morning from Shari at Shari's Sharings 
I am so excited that I was picked !!!  So now is my turn to PIF. Here is what it's all about.

Pay It Forward (PIF)~ verb: "1. to repay the good deeds one has received by doing good things for other unrelated people."
And now it is my turn! Would any of you like to participate in a PIF from me? The rules are very simple. I will send a stitched gift to three people who leave a comment (on this post only) ( It would be really cool if you could post this on your blog also, so more stitchers enter) (also, you must be a follower) requesting to join my PIF challenge. I am just learning how to make ornaments it will most likely be one.  I will also check out your blog and send you a surprise-- I have 365 days to fulfill my end of the bargain. If you are chosen as one of my PIF recipients, then you must offer the same on your blog to keep the kindness going... Please specifically mention in your comment if you wish to be considered for this...If more than three people sign up, I will have a drawing for three names.

A quick Finish -- A Joyeux Noel

We lost our internet for a few hours tonight,  so no pogo for me.  However I did get a quick project done while hubby and I watched a movie.
We lost Niles for about an hour tonight.  He wouldn't come when we called or when we tried to bribe him with treats.   I knew he was in the house since he has never been let out before.  Roger and I tore apart the house and this is where I found him. 
So much for clean and fur free towels.

Finished Heaven

This was one of the FCJC Project.  It took about 4 hours to finish in total.  A really nice and fast pattern to complete.
