updates and SAL

Good Morning All!
Sorry I haven't been blogging for a while but as usual life got in the way. It seems like there is something to go do every day.  At least the heat broke for a couple of days although I hear today is the start of another heat wave ugh.  Right now the AC is off and the doors are open for a couple of hours til it heats up again.  

Yesterday I had my hair cut and high-lited (gotta hide the grey for a little while longer hehehe) and then I had lunch with 2 lovely ladies that I used to work with.  Since they are teachers we always have lunch in the summer.  It is always so good to get together and catch up and it was a nice enough day that we could eat out on the deck.  Lunch started at 1 and ended at 6 (do you think we can chat?). A wonderful time was had by all.  

Here is an update on my Quaker:


Well I got some stitching done. Hopefully I can get some more stitches in today.  I signed up for a Christmas exchange of at About.com and I am still waiting for my yellow fabric to come so I can again attempt Basket of Memories. Denise from Riverside Stitching and I are going to be doing a SAL together.  We are going to stitch Northwind by Silver Creek Samplers.  I love that poem - it was one of my mom's favorites.  

 If anyone wants to join us just let me or Denise know. She has all her supplies and I already have my fabric and 123 Stitch just sent me the shipping confirmation so the pattern should be here tomorrow.  I think she said a September start although could be sooner if no one else feels like joining in.  


I'm off to PT this morning! Will catch you later! Happy Stitching.

  2. Wow North Wind is going to be so pretty!!

    Your Quaker is looking good.

    I love summer time for just being able to sit on a patio all afternoon long and enjoy the day. I did that yesterday.
