I've been too busy to blog, can you imagine? It's been crazy around here. No stitching, no blog reading, no posting...I miss you guys! I plan to have a nice relaxing weekend, catch up on my blogs and do some stitching. Serious stitching.
In the midst of the chaos came a suprise in the mail from Patty of Hanging On By A Thread. What a gorgeous RAK! Stitched in my favorite color ~ green and the most beautiful handmade pins. Isn't this pinkeep scrummy? It's stuffed with crushed walnut shells so it smells good and has a lovely weight to it. Thank you so much Patty. I cherish it!
One of the things keeping me busy is some cleaning & redecorating. We've been working on the living room. We moved the couch. Fifteen tennis balls under the couch? Now you know for sure a Border Collie lives here! And don't feel bad that maybe all her tennis balls were stuck under the couch. There were at least thirty still in her toy basket...
After tomorrow, I have FIVE days off work. I can't remember the last time I took more than a long weekend off. See what I mean about serious stitching plans? I'm talking major stitch-ass complications here, girls. Bring it on!Thank you for visiting my blog today!

Hey...I finished some items. Still working out all my finishing bugs but I'm still at it.
I can't believe you moved a couch from that spot - there's not a single dust bunny! That's as impressive as your stitching, haha!
I'm on vacation this coming week too! Mine starts Friday morning at 9am!
How many WIP's are you going to finish?? I'm trying for at least 4!
Have fun with your living room.

LOL. That is so funny. I'm surprised she didn't try to tell you they were under there by that border collie Jedi mindmeld thing they do.
Lovely RAK!!!
Too funny about the tennis balls!
Woo-hoo for 5 days off! And what a lovely from Patty! I really like this pattern. :)

I had to laugh at those tennis balls - I understand about time - how to fit in crafting and blogging - never mind that cooking and housework!!

The tennis balls made me laugh. I usually find little tinker toys under my couch, or balls from little games.
The pincushion you received is lovely.

Love the RAK you received :-) Grenn is my DDs favourite colour too.
LOL at the tennis balls.

The only reason I don't have that many tennis balls under my sofa is that it is a sleeper so they won't fit under there!
Have a great stitching weekend!
Wow, so many tennis balls. What a lovely gift from Patty and I can't wait to see the stitching results from your time off. Enjoy!
I love the pincushion...just so pretty!

laughing my a$$ off over the tennis balls. When we moved out out couch we found cat toys galore and tops of milk jugs that my kitty snatches and plays with.
Pretty pincushion.
hugs
-missy-
What a beautiful pinkeep and pins from Patty.
Enjoy your days off and I hope you get time to stitch, stitch, stitch...
Wow, five days off work! You could end up with a serious case of numb bum!! It's not a bad thing to have when it involves stitching.
Patty's gift is really pretty! I love the green colour.
I've yet to find those crushed walnut shells around here. None of our pet shops seem to have them.
LOL on the Tennis balls!
Ahh, there you are! I was beginning to wonder if maybe you were lost under that couch with the tennis balls LOL. Nice to see you back.
Hope you get a serious case of numb butt this weekend!
Enjoy your time off from work. We all need to have time to rest and recharge - keep work and life in balance!
I'd love to see your before and after redecorating!
That was so funny. I laughed out loud. Have a nice 5 days off.
Beautiful pins in your RAK pressie.
LOL the 15 tennis balls!
Enjoy your time off work
Beautiful pincushion and such pretty pins.
The picture of all the tennis balls made me smile. My Yorkie loves to play ball but I need to buy the teeny tiny ones. :)
Hope you enjoyed your time off.
Missed you too. Beautiful pin cushion and I hope you enjoy your week off.
