Catching Up

Stitching

I can safely post a scan of the SIF that I stitched, since Kristina has received it. Called Crowned Heart by Blue Ribbon Designs, it is stitched on 32 count Angel Blush Jobelan over 2 using an assortment of fibers.

The Marjolein Bastin Spring WIP is coming along, slowly. It's been a while since I stitched something with so many color changes.

I stitched part of a border and basted squares for a LHN RR and sent that on, but didn't get a scan of it before it left. I'm currently working on a little freebie by San Man Originals.

Cheese

The little guy is still loving every minute of baseball. Below are a few shots from last week's game (he's the catcher in the first pic).

And tonight, I came in from mowing the lawn and found this:

Look at that smile. Maybe I am doing something right. :-)

An Update...Really!

It's been too long since I've been here!
I've completed and sent my SIF piece, but I won't post a pic until it's received, since I stitched her initials on it and I'm too lazy to edit the pic. :-) I think it's lovely and it was hard to part with it.

The crazy baseball season has started and we're juggling baseball, karate and Cub Scouts. Cheese (my 9 year old son wants to be called Cheese) loves all the activity and secretly I do too, but it does make life a little hectic. He has a game tonight but I have to attend an Educator of the Year Banquet so I'll have to miss it. I hope this is the only one I miss.

Last night, Cheese wanted to know if he could start taking a shower in the morning and using my conditioner so he can "shake his hair". Whatever that means. This morning he asked me to stop buying him kids' toothpaste - he would just use mine. Seems some growing up is going on and I'm not quite ready. I guess I'll have to take his lead though and adapt accordingly.

However, last night we played Hangman on his whiteboard. His first phrase for me to guess - "I love you Mom". He's still my little boy!
