I took a few minutes to stuff this pillow that Myra sewed up for me. I had stitched this Bent Creek kit probably 7 years ago. It was too big to finish as an ornament. Thanks Myra for saving it from the pile of stitching that is never finish finished! You can see more of Myra's wonderful work here. I LOVE it!!
Rich and I spent a pretty quiet weekend at home. Sometimes you just need to lay low and recharge your batteries. Yesterday morning we did hit the trail early and got in about a 7 mile hike. It is amazing how different things look or what different things you see when you hike the same trail each week. We only came across a toad and some other hikers. It was pretty dry on the trail too.
I ended up working for 4 hours yesterday at my 2nd job for someone that was sick. It was a nice quiet day. Rich and I went to see The Avengers after I worked. I am not a big action/comic book person so I only thought it was ok. I won't be going to see Batman or Spiderman, give me a good spy story. Jason Bourne where are you?
Today was a quiet day. My thoughts have been with friends and family and our servicemen past and present. I am thankful to live in this country and for all the sacrifices that have been made for our freedom.
Peace
Chris

How CUTE!! The chosen fabric couldn't be more perfect (unless Jason Bourne delivered it). A relaxed weekend is a 7 mile hike? LOL!! Oh my I'm old.
Myra did a wonderful job of finishing your piece! Glad that you had a great week end.
Nice to hear you had a nice weekend.
My last nature trail hike was a definite experience. My boyfriend and I visited the island of St. John in the Virgin Islands last year. We decided to hike one of the trails through the National Park to a secluded beach. The lady at the visitor center said it was an "easy" trail cause they had ones of different difficulties to various beaches not accessible by car.
I was dying by the time we got to the beach. It was not easy to me. Then again it was really hot that day too, but the beach was amazing. :)

That is so cute! Myra did a great job.
That pillow is so cute! Great finishing by Myra, and great stitching by you!
I love the finish on your little sheep! I have a ton of these little designs... maybe I should turn them into little seasonal pillows too!
Sounds like you had a great, relaxing weekend!
Chris, the pillow turned out adorable - what a great finish!
I love to hike too, so thanks for the heads up abut next weekend. Sounds like a lot of fun!
The pillow is adorable.
I didn't know there was a Trail Day. I may have to check out what's going on in our area.
Love the pillow! The fabric you chose for it is absolutely perfect. How wonderful that Myra is able to help you out with your finishing.
I just love those designs! Myra finished it perfectly too...
happy stitching...
You have to love it when Myra works her magic! Your weekend sounds wonderful!
Adorable pillow Chris!!! I love how she finished it!! Ooh, I love hiking and exploring. So much fun to discover all sorts of things out on a long one! Sounds like National Trails Day will be great!You should go!! As for the Avengers, I haven't seen it yet and I'm like you, would much rather prefer a good spy/thriller movie to a comic action one!
I love your Myra-fied pillow! Your hike sounds like fun and an inspiration for me to find time for one. :)
