Made a little progress

I worked on my Halloween fairy for a bit last night for my Friday Fairy SAL with my friend, Rachel. I got a bit done on her but not too much. I would have liked to have gotten more stitched on her but am I am still seeing some progress with the little bit that I did. I was just telling Rachel that I really need to stitch more on her wings. See that light shade of green in them? It's kind of hard to see in the pic. There's a bunch of it. I get bored when I stitch with a boring color for very long. I'm afraid if I save all of it until the end I'll just get sick of the piece and toss it aside. I'm gonna try to make an effort to stitch a bit on the wings every Friday when I work on her. I'm really happy with the way she's turning out and can't wait to display her this Halloween. I'm really looking forward to the beading. I love pieces that call for beading.

We've had a pretty good weekend. We're not doing anything spectacular, just kind of hanging around. Yesterday I took the kids swimming. We have a family membership at the YMCA and they've got a really nice pool so we've been trying to take advantage of it. We went out to lunch today and did some browsing around a bit. Tomorrow after lunch my mom wants me to go shopping with her. She and my dad are taking Cassie to Branson in a couple of weeks and she wants to do some shopping for the trip. Cassie is extremely excited. This is the first time that she's gone on a trip without us. My parents are really excited too and have lots of fun things planned. Joshua and I will be puppy sitting while they're gone. Look at this face? How could you not wanna puppy sit this sweet little thing?

I finished up a birthday gift tonight so must go pack it up. I hope everyone's having a great weekend!
