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!

We've missed you TOO! Hope you end up with your major case of stitch-ass! ;-)

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!

ReplyDeletePatty'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!
ReplyDeleteAhh, 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.
