Mouline Movement

Even though Summer doesn't officially start until June 21st, it looks like the start of the season is here.  I would like to wish all of you a happy and safe Memorial Day Weekend.  Be sure to thank those who serve and protect us!

******************************************


Things worked out for me last night and I was able to stick to my plan.  I arrived home from work a little earlier than normal because I needed to take care of my puppy and my parent's puppy (who is staying with us while my parents are on vacation).  Normally Hubby would have the honors, but he worked a double shift yesterday and that meant that he couldn't come home during the day.  So, I messed around with the "kids" a bit and we sat outside to enjoy the evening air. 

After tiring them out, I sat down for some "me" Mouline time.  When I picked her up, she looked a little like this.......

Upper right hand corner as we last left her

When I finally sat her back down last night, after a ton of tender loving care, she looked like this........

Almost done with the whole page!  Woo-Hoo!

Tonight the plan is to work on my table runner.  I need to have all the squares put together by class time and I haven't looked at it since my last class. (Oops!)  Hopefully I will also be able to sneak another needle into Mouline before the night is over.

Have a great weekend!

Happy Stitches!

This is so beautiful! Love the color too. I wish I could sit still long enough to stitch that much at a time......LOL Got so much going on lately it seems.
