Where have I been?????

I honestly couldn't tell you. The summer is almost over and we have not done much of anything. We painted the entry hall and thats it. I keep saying today we are going to paint but for some strange reason - it never happens.

The fourth was very quiet for us, for a change. We watched the big display in our county and then came home to set our own off.

I have been stitching as much as possible and been reading the Elm Creek Quilters novel series, not a good idea since I can't stop reading when I start.

I will try to post an updated picture of my stitching soon.

April 15th already!!!

I can't believe it is April 15th. I have alreay done my taxes but I can't believe the month is half over. My dd only has 5 weeks until graduation. I think it is finally starting to hit me that she is actually graduating. It is really bitter sweet.

I only have 2 weeks left myself and am so ready for the summer. I have family coming to visit for graduation and then our trip in June and July. It is amazing how fast this year is going. Other than getting ready for the end of the semester not a lot going on...

It's over.....

March has finally come to an end and it is Friday!!! This month was horrible and I am so ready for April. I have actually stitched a little today and hope to more this weekend. I did buy a new book so we will see what happens.

Catching my breath....

Well, the month is finally winding down and for the first time in weeks I have a weekend at home. So, guess what? Cleaning time! My workshop was cancelled so my weekend opened up which is good since it is Easter and we have two chruch services. My trip to SF was super fast. They had every minute of my day planned down to the trip to the airport. It was very rewarding though. The kids are getting ready for their spring break in a couple of weeks. DD graduates in less than two months!!! OMG!!!

What a few weeks this is going to be....

My break is over and it was way too short! I spend it in the desert and the weather was awesome. We had a really great time. I am going back this summer and taking the kids with me. But, alas, it is back to work this week. I have a trip to SF this month, a workshop I am putting together, evaluations and the all that good stuff this month. I will be so glad when April gets here.

Not much stitching lately and probably not for a while yet...

SPRING BREAK...FINALLY!!

I am so ready for a break. I leave this week for a few days of vacation. This month has turned into a very busy and stressful one which makes me even more anxious for this trip. I will post a few pictures when I get back...take care.
