Go Steelers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been a Pittsburgh Steelers fan since I was 7 years old! I grew up in Youngstown, Ohio which is one hour from Downtown Pittsburgh.I'm sure this sounds cliche but there is nothing like a Steelers fan. I can't believe that they are going again! I'm so excited I can't stand myself! I want to go to Tampa and If I can get my neighbor to go we are on our way to the Super Bowl!! Good luck my Steelers and to the Cards cuz your gonna need it!Here's a pic of Troy Polumolu (sp) he intercepted a ball last night and took it in for a TD to put the winning clench on the game!Go number #43!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Elvis Presley !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well if you didn't know it....YES I am a HUGE Elvis fan! I grew up on Elvis and have made several visits to Graceland. Elvis Presley, in my opinion, was and still is one of the greatest icons in music history. There is no doubt he brought forth what we call Rock & Roll hence the nickname "King of Rock-n-Roll".He would have been 74 today.Not only was he a singer and entertainer but a man with many awards to many to mention. He was a very giving person as well with charities and strangers benifiting from his success.Below are some pics to celebrate his birthday and one of his famous quotes.He recited this in a speech while accepting an award in 1971:

"I learned very early in life that, `without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend -- without a song.' So I keep singing a song...."

So here's to you Elvis Presley! May your memories and music live forever!

Hooked Rugs from the past

Happy New Year to all! Hope everyone had a great Holiday! Well I have decided to start hooking again!I stopped for a while but now I am ready to cut up some wool and draw up some new designs!

New creations on E-bay.......

Man talk about running behind! See that ole sinus infection that I thought was causing my teeth to ache well........that turned into a ROOT CANAL!!! Oh yes my friends! Here's the thing I had just had these 2 top mollars filled about 7 weeks ago.I had some issues with them after the fact but just blew it off.I had NO problems prior to these getting filled.So low and behold go to the Dentist that filled them and he says I need a root canal or extraction. He said he would go with the first. Easy for him to say since I'm such a Hypochondriac! Well had this procedure done on the 25th.So...right now I guess I'm doing ok and I found a NEW Dentist to make the crown and to fill the other 2 cavities I have.OMG!!! Don't wish this on anyone!So as far as creating I fianlly got these pieces done which had been sitting and staring at me for the past week or so!They are on E-bay and will end on Thursday the 4th.Now I'm off to finish some more pieces and get my Ornie swap for PFATT packaged up. Until nextime.................

My Christmas Tree is up YAY ME !!!!!!!!

Some may think it may be to earlier to decorate for the Christmas season but it just doesn't last long enough! I had bought a new tree a 9ft one and the spot I wanted to place it in wasn't going to work hmmmmmmmmm could it be that my dear hubby didn't want to move the TV armoire??? Sooooo we resized it to a 7ft. tree which is still just as sweet! Taylor helped decorate it.Then we put our lights up outside.Still a couple more things to do but the tree is the biggest project.I think Santa will be able to find his way don't ya think? Here is a pic of Gunner dog with his antlers on! He wants to be Santa's lead reindeer! If you read this Santa gunner says he would work for bones and a bite of mac-n-cheese! He is the sweetest dog! Well I must get crackin on the rest of the decorating and sewing !! Until next time friends!

Christmas Past 1971 !!!!!!!!!!

I was searching for some misplaced ornaments yesterday and came across this photo of Christmas 1971. This is my Mother,myself,and brother Billy.We lived in Ohio at the time. Back then it used to snow like crazy! You were guarunteed several feet of snow when it happened. As kids we would be out of school for days on end. We would go to our local park and use those giant truck inertubes and fly down these monsterous hills! My Father always had several snowmobiles and we would ride those with him and the neighbors.What fun!!!!!Hey check out that television in the background! Too funny huh? MEMORIES!!! Until next time..............?

I caught these pics the other night when Taylor was hanging out in Her "Footy" pajamas. She adores those things! I kept calling her into the other room and she said she couldn't get up because she had something laying on her. I ran and snapped a couple of pics before Crazy man jumped down.
