Weekend

Wow, we made it to Saturday. Every Thursday seems like it should be Friday to me. I hate that feeling. It could be that it was a little slow at work this week. Does anyone else feel that way?
  I tried stitching on Beggar's Night one night this week but I ended up ripping everything out. I have had some bad headaches, I think it is allergies. I shouldn't try to stitch when I have a headache.
  I worked a little extra everyday this week so that I could leave work early and go to visit Miranda on Friday afternoon.
I missed seeing her at Nashville. It was great to catch up with her.
And to catch up with Scout too. It seemed like he was posing for this picture. Miranda and I went to lunch a caught up on all the family news and stitching news. I also got to see Morris and Sophie. I haven't seen them since we went to the zoo and Sophie was 3 and Morris was maybe a year and 1/2 old. Now they are 14 & 12!
   It was a wonderful afternoon. Thanks Miranda!
   I started this little marking sampler last night. Her name is Nancy Jhonson by Threads Of Gold.
I am stitching her on 30ct "linen" linen from Weeks Dye Works with the charted DMC colors. Nancy is an NC girl. Sorry for the poor photo. It is a gloomy rainy day. It would be perfect to stay home and stitch. I am off to my Saturday job, it is only 9 to 3 and then I hope to go home and stitch. Maybe I will try to go grocery shopping first. I hope that your Saturday will be more exciting than mine.

Cheers!

Chris

I've been having a lot of weather related headaches lately, too, Chris--so exhausting.

It looks like you and Miranda had a great visit and how nice to see how much Sophie and Morris had grown up :)

Enjoy your new sampler!
