A little more done on Abcedairie by Gazette94. It seems like I have too many other things going on right now to get alot of stitching done.

Yesterday was the first non-rainy day in a while so we had an impromtu garage sale. Our neighborhood association was having one so yesterday at 7am we started dragging stuff outside. We did move alot of junk but still had to bring stuff back in at the end of the day. I do have a nice dent in the garage now. Two bags of garbage also left my house. I have not gone garage sale shopping at all this year so no new junk in.

This is my progress on Butterfly Fairies - Day for the past week. I spent alot of time cleaning my son's room. It is now clean enough that we put an inflatable mattress in there for him to sleep on. This is just temporary. I hope that by the end of the summer the room has been finished - painted, furniture moved out and a bed and desk installed for him.

We went to Muncie yesterday to pick up my daughter from college. It was so cold and windy. When we moved her in it was really hot. She starts her summer job on Monday. Having an extra person in the house means we will have to settle into a new routine. When she first went away to college I thought I would never get used to her not being here. But over that first year I did. It now seems strange to have her back.

A little more progress on Freight Train. Every little bit gets me closer but still alot to go. My DD will be home from college next Saturday. This has prompted me to start cleaning out my DS's room so he will have a place to sleep. He is currently using his sister's room. I have been watching episodes of Hoarders so I am prepared to just throw away everything in order to get the room cleaned out. Made a big clean space yesterday. Today someone is coming to pick up his old toddler bed. My son is now 14 and outgrew the toddler bed along time ago. I might show a picture of the room afterwards but a before picture would be too embarassing.

Hope to get the room empty enough for an air mattress. We will then continue on with fixing up the room. So I might not get too much stitching done this week.

Worked on Happy Girl this past week. Made some progress.

Confirmation was Sunday and everything went fine. My dad did show up. We had plenty of food and everyone seemed to have a good time. Everything is back to normal this week.

This week Abcedaire by Gazette 94 was up. I did make some progress. This coming week will be a busy one. I am not sure how much stitching time I will have. I will be cooking and getting things ready for my son's confirmation next Sunday. I hope the weather will be nice so the little kids can be outside.

Worked on Butterfly Fairies - Day this past week. I really got a slow start and didn't start stitching until Thursday night.

Here are my orts after 2 months.

Last week was spring break and there were alot of people off from work. We had a skeleton staff and stayed extremely busy covering for everyone who was off. I think I was too tired at night to stitch. This week I have to attend son's confirmation testimony night so there will be no stitching then. I hope to do better this week and make some good progress on this weeks project.

This was my week to stitch on Freight Train. I made a little progress which is better than none.

I have always wanted to stitch a Chatelaine. I have been watching everyone's progress on her different designs trying to decide which one I wanted to do. I finally decided on Knotgarden. I received it in the mail on Friday. I also ordered the bead pack. I can find the material and threads at my lns. I will want to stitch this on scroll rods. I need to see if mine are big enough or I will need to find a larger size. So this project will not be started any time soon. But as long as I collect all the materials, I can stitch it whenever I want.

Saturday we drove down to Ball State to take my daughter out for her birthday which was Wednesday. She is 20 now. We ate at Noodle & Co. and it was really good. Hopefully it will still be there the next time we go down as everyone enjoyed eating there.
