Well, it's been a few days since last I wrote anything. {{Snort}} Where does all the free time you are supposed to have during summer vacation go, anyway??? Between sleepovers, chores and trips to the pool and various other destinations I think I'm more busy than during the school year! One good thing about the upcoming school year is that I should save some on gas. Hubby and I were somewhat disillusioned with the school on post and have transferred Emily over to the neighborhood school just four short blocks from home. So, I get to save gas and get some exercise next year walking to and from the school for drop offs and pickups.
Okay, down to some stitching business. Pictured is a piece I started . . . well . . . I don't remember when I started in any longer! I know it's been several years ago, as you can tell from how dirty the fabric is, but it's actually for a SAL on one of my Yahoo! groups. This is a Dimensions Chart and Charms kit, and I can't remember any longer what the name of the piece is. I know why I picked it, it has bees and a beeskep (two of my very favorite things to stitch) but I can't for the life of me tell you why I keep putting it down. The fabric is wonderful to stitch on, and aside from one giant frogging episode, the design itself is a dream to stitch up too. Guess it's just a mild case of life getting in the way of desire, LOL. The piece is about half done, and you're never going to believe this, but I've put it down AGAIN! In favor of another SAL, this one a Little House Needleworks design called Nature's Beauty. It's part of a Cottage SAL on yet another Yahoo! group. Perhaps I'll finish one of these two pieces, but who knows when? I have many many many other WIP's (I refuse to use the term UFO . . . too depressing!) waiting on some time to get finished.
My BIL will be arriving in a few short weeks from California. He's in the Air Force and is getting sent to the Azores. What a rough life he has, LOL. He's driving his 'Vette down here to store in our garage while he's gone, and if I'd known we were going to have to car-sit I would have looked for a house with a 3 car garage. LOL He'll be staying with us for 2 weeks and then we are all flying to KY to spend another week with hubby and BIL's mom and dad and the rest of the family. I should be properly blind from camera flashes when we get back, since it will be the first time the whole family has been together since our wedding 10 years ago. Next year hubby's cousin gets married, and my daughter is likely to be in the wedding so that will be another fun trip to KY. Hope I can see again by that time! LOL
toodles for now.
