Christ is Arisen
From the grave's dark prison
We all rejoice in gladness
Christ will end all sadness
Alleluia!

All our hopes were ended
Had Jesus not ascended
From the grave triumphantly
For this O Christ our thanks shall be
Alleluia!

Where O Death is your victory?  Where O Death is your sting?.....But thanks be to God, he gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Happy Easter everyone!

Moving update

So, we've successfully made the move.  Everything is still pretty much packed and our modem hasn't arrived yet so I won't be posting much until things settle down a little bit.  My craft cabinet didn't survive the move though :(

Pay it Forward

So, here's a picture of the bread cloth I did for pay it forward. 

The design is the Aconites Sampler out of my Cross Stitch from Nature book but I changed it to include the Bible verse instead of having "ABC'

Questions Answered

Here are some answers to some of the questions in recent comments:


1. Yes, they are two different babies.  The picture on the left is Zoé when she was about a month old and the one on the right is Adèle currently who is just over a month old.  Adèle has the prettiest blue eyes in contrast to her sister (who has brown) so she may get Mommy's green eyes after all (eventually).  Otherwise, their hair and facial features are nearly identical.  We'll see if Adèle's hair lightens up and curls like Zoé's has.

2. The stocking is a Dimensions Gold Collections kit called "Winter's Twilight Stocking."

Stocking as promised

 Here is the current stocking progress:  The top half of the chart is done minus the top part with the personalization (I'll do it last)

I think my babies may be mistaken for twins once they're like 3 or 4.  Can you tell them apart?

Checking in...

So, I thought I was going to work this week but I ended up not because I had a few loose ends that needed tying up.

Zoé has a whopping case of separation anxiety and won't go to sleep by herself anymore, so I'm sitting in her room with the laptop right now, waiting for her to go to sleep.

I've become addicted to Phineas and Ferb which if you haven't heard of it is an animated show on the Disney Channel.  Something the whole family will enjoy as it's clean but has a lot of references only adults will get.  Phineas and Ferb are two stepbrothers who spend everyday of their summer vacation inventing something new.  They have a pet platypus named Perry who really is a secret agent.  Here's a picture of him as the mild mannered pet (he has a fedora on when he's "Agent P")

I also joined Swagbucks and so far have earned $25 in Amazon Gift Cards.  I've decided to save them up to get the new Nintendo 3DS.  My DS lite died last year and I haven't been able to afford a new one.  Don't have a lot of time to play it but I did enjoy it and I have a lot of games I never finished.

Working on the stocking this week.  I will post a picture tomorrow most likely.  Also mailed off my Mom's picture and a PIF.  I'll post a picture of that once it gets to it's owner

Another piece framed

Decided to frame one of my other pieces with the $1.50 frame from Wal-Mart.
