Busy Weekend

As you know, things have been very crazy in my life lately. After much contemplation I decided that I needed some time away. Six months ago I had talked to my boss about taking this weekend off even though it is the middle of tax season. First off, I have a WONDERFUL boss. He agreed to let me go. With everything that has been going on I had thought about not going away. But, I'm so very glad that I did.

This weekend I was privleged to assist in the Crescent Colours booth at the TNNA market in Nashville, TN. While I worked my tail off, I also had so much fun. This whole weekend was so theraputic for me. I got to spend time with one of my very best friends that I don't get to see often enough. I got to see friends that I haven't seen in awhile. And I was able to meet new and exciting people and make new friends.

While at market I got to spend time with many wonderful designers that I have come to know persnally over the last few years. I also got to meet many new ones as well, such as Tracy Horner of Ink Circles. We as stitchers are so blessed to have such talent in our group!

I was stuck in the booth most of the weekend. It was crazy busy and the days really flew by. But, when I did get the chance to go out, I had a great time seeing all of the new stuff from everyone. I was lucky enough to be gifted some fabulous charts to add to my stash. I also have a huge mental list of charts that I want to add as well. I guess I'm going to have to contact my favorite shop so that I can scoop up more good stuff during the market celebrations.

So, now it looks like I'm going to have to return to the real world. Work is calling and I will have to make up for the time I spent out of the office. That means longer hours this week to make up for my "play time". Of course, that is in addition to the major hours that I am putting in due to the season.

Oh, by the way, Hubby found a job. He is supposed to start in two weeks. I don't know how this will all play out, but I hope it is exactly what is needed. I appreciate all the kind comments and prayers for Hubby and myself. We aren't out of the woods by any means, but things seem to be moving in a much better directon than they were.

I wish everyone a wonderful week. Happy Stitching!


One last P.S.
I'm still planning to blog, but it will be very sparse for the time being as I need to spend my time in some other areas for a little while longer. Thanks so much for understanding.
