Spring is Finally Here!

I was so excited this weekend to see the green buds on the trees in our yard.  It's been rather a long winter for us and it's so wonderful to have 70 degree weather and some signs of spring.  Unfortunately today we're back to gray skies and drizzle, but I have faith that we're moving in the right direction.  I'm happy to say I'm getting back into my stitching again.  The brief hiatus to focus on the kids was necessary.  We had a great weekend watching my daughter at her first ice skating show.  She did a great job and I was a very proud mama watching her out there giving her all to it!  The boys enjoyed their week of school vacation and returned to school yesterday energized and ready to wrap up this year.  Only 8 1/2 weeks left!  I look forward to summer vacation as much as they do I think.

So, no stitching updates today, just a quick update on what's happening with us and a little "hooray! for spring" shout.  But I'm feeling energized and ready to get back to some spring projects.  Maybe a little sewing in there as well. Stay tuned and enjoy the signs of spring!

Some Summer Finishes

Hello Everyone! Ahhh summer.  So many distractions, so little time.  I am still stitching away here in toasty warm Massachusetts, but I've sadly been neglecting all my followers and not updating you on the progress.  What can I say?  Is a picture worth 1000 words? Sorry to say the computer just doesn't make it down to the beach or the pool - sand, water, electronics - bad combination.  But, now that I'm back at my desk I can diligently share with you all the wonderful progress I'm making on my never-ending list of projects. Mill Hill Dragonfly Such a summery little guy.  Although a close up would be better you can kind of get an idea of the excellent teal and lime green colors on this one. Lizzie Kate Green Flip-It Save Water The third one I've finished in the series - I should have bought all 6 patterns!  I think this one goes in the kids bathroom.  Every little reminder I can get in before they jump in the shower for 30 minute...

Have I Forgotten How to Write a Blog Post?

Wow...so five plus years has gone by since my last post. I'm trying to remember how to even find my voice for a blog post. Can you forget how to write a post??? I'm honestly not quite sure where the time has gone although it's been busy with getting my oldest son off to college, my other son just about ready to go to college and my daughter through some skating ups and downs. Not to mention work, house, life in general. Admittedly, these other intrusions caused a lapse in my stitching. For, oh, about 3 years! I managed to get a few months of stitching in last year but it was fairly short-lived. There were a couple finishes in 2017 though.                                                     Little House Needleworks - Music & Books                                   ...

Pre-Father's Day Check-in

I hope all of you celebrating with the fathers in your life have a wonderful weekend coming up.  We're just grateful there is some hope of sun this weekend.  It's been so cold and wet for June so far that even mid-70s sounds fabulous as long as there is some sun. I thought I'd try a quick pre-weekend check-in and quick update on some of the in-progress pieces. My little dragonfly is coming along nicely.  The turquoise threads and beads are beautiful on this little guy.  Hopefully if the sun comes out this weekend we'll see some of the real ones flitting around the garden! Green Flip-It Save Water (Lizzie Kate) This one is coming along nicely as well.  Just have to finish up that watering hole at the bottom and this can join my Eat Locally finish on the kitchen wall.  Although maybe it belongs in the kids bathroom right near the shower... Quartet of Penguins (Lanarte) Yes, there will eventually be 4 penguins on here.  Three in progress...
