Weekly Update

I hope everyone in the US had a great Memorial Day weekend, those of you in Canada, I hope your weekend was good too.

I spent the weekend playing with the girls, grilling (even in the rain) and stitching. Yesterday I tried to remember how many of my family have served, or are serving, in the arm forces and I came up with 10. Dad, all 5 uncles, my FIL, one cousin, his wife and one nephew. Plus a handful of friends. THANK YOU!!!! Each and every one of you.

I finished the stitching on one of my teaching pieces for the magazine, two more teaching and two ornaments to go. : ) I also worked on PL. Here are the updated pictures.



Until next week, stay safe and Healthy !

Weekly Update

This weekend S and I went to the KC Literary festival on the Plaza to watch Stephanie talk about her book. A Curse Dark as Gold. It was really good to see her and her husband. If we can find a date that works for both of us she promised to help me with my Reinisance Festival garb.

Here are a couple of pictures. Her reading from the book.


And as she explained the nature of her costume she removed a layer until she was in her undergarments. Fully clothed she still said she felt naked. : )


I worked on Paradigm lost again this week. I went down instead of across because I wanted to see the bottom of the piece. Here is a picture of the whole and the work I did this week.



Until next week. I hope you are all healthy and happy.

Weekend Update

I hope that you all had a wonderful Mother's Day. Mine was very calming. DH and S fixed breakfast for me. After church I fixed some of my favorite foods and DH grilled a couple of great steaks. The afternoon was very quiet, I was able to stitch on the back porch while the girls played.
I Finished paged 7 of PL last night about 10:30,


it would have been done sooner exept I made a three block mistake and had to frog out most of the design in the bottom right.


Here is a picture of DD#1 warming up with DH Volley ball team.

It has been a month

but I finally made it back to WW today and I have actually continued to loose weight. I lost another 3lbs to make a total of 28.8 lbs since October. I tried on some of my summer clothes this week and the one skort I bought for Vacation last year literally fell off my hips, without unbuttoning it. Yippee!!!! I will need to go shopping for new summer clothes soon, or I won't have anything to pack for Vacation in June.

Paradigm Lost Update

It must be spring, I've put away the crochet hooks and gotten out my needles. Here is an undate picture of Paradigm Lost by Long Dog Sampler. I worked on it all last week when there was sunshine.

Tulips in Bloom

M is sick at home the last couple of days. Cold and Eye infection.

It must be spring, I've finally gotten my needles out again and am working on Paradigm Lost. I'll post a picture after the weekend.

The tulips are in bloom and here are some pictures.
