Test post

Just checking to see if I can post from the tablet.

Memorial Day weekend

Well, my plan was to spend Monday inside, out of the heat and the sun, stitching. But you know how it goes.. my brother showed up with my niece, out of the blue. What a wonderful surprise! I have seen him only twice in maybe the last three or four years, because he works overseas and when he gets home, he stays home. We gathered all my kids and the grandbabies and had a great time on the lake, laughing and telling stories on each other.

What fun!

Of course, now I am a day behind.. and next weekend will not be any better since a whole different bunch of family is coming to Dallas for my other niece's graduation! I guess I better spend the next few evenings busy busy!

LOL... it was well worth it.

Y'all have a wonderful, stitchy day!

My apologies to the blog

Wow. It is already almost the end of May and I have completely neglected this blog. I am sorry. I hereby promise to pay more attention to you. Really.


Let's start with what I am stitching. My friend Jennifer is expecting her first baby in about four weeks, so I am working on a baby announcement for the nursery.


This is the pattern photo:

This is the work in progress. Instead of the blue in the pattern photo, I am considering using this green. Her nursery colors are pink and green. I can't decide if I want a lighter green or not.

I will continue to post pictures as we go.
