Oh Monday....

.....why do you torture me so? To make matters worse, this Monday is a holiday, but it is not one for me. Tax season has begun and so I must work those extra hours. (I complain now, but I can assure you that I won't be complaining come summer!) Not only that, but now you are going to cut into my sacred stitching time. UGH! I hate this time of year!

Now that my obligation (model) stitching is done (for the moment), I'm moving on to a few things in my big wip pile. I pulled out Bo Peep for a short session on Friday night and Saturday. I'm much further on her and the end is definitely in sight now. On Sunday I spent the day the day with the Shores of Hawk Run Hollow. I have jumped around on the blocks, but I'm currently working on Block 3. I've decided that this may be my project of the decade since it is taking me FOREVER to work on it. Sorry, no pictures right now of either wip.......I just wasn't up to it this morning at the crack of dawn!

I want to thank my BFF and her husband for a wonderful weekend! We tried to go on a double date to the movies and dinner on Friday night. Well, tried is the operative word. When we got to the theaters we found out that they had a fire and wouldn't be open. Since BFF's husband had purchased tickets earlier in the day (there was no fire then!), my Hubby and I took them out to dinner at their favorite Mexican restaurant. Over dinner we vowed to meet again the next night for the movie. On Saturday the theater was still closed, but we were able to take the tickets to another theater in a different city. We went to see The Lovely Bones. (It was okay.....I liked the book better, but then again I usually do like the book better than the movie.) The best part of the whole weekend was spending time with friends. It didn't matter that we had to deal with the fire at the theaters and traipsing all over town.......a good time was had by all. I can't wait to do it again.

Well, lunch is over and I must get back to work since I'm busier than a one armed paper hanger!

Happy Stitching!

P.S. I found the Sizing at the grocery store yesterday! I grabbed a can and now I'm ready for the next time I have to tackle that 30ct fabric!!!!

Be always in stitches.
