Shorter than usual

I haven't really felt like posting lately. Mostly because I don't feel like fighting anyone for the computer. Besides, when I finally do get it, I can't be left alone for 1/2 hour to do anything.



We went to my parents last Thursday and got back on Monday. We had a really great time although that family reunion left a lot to be desired. Most of the people I had hoped would come didn't. I did get to see my grandmother and my two favorite uncles though. Out of 25 cousins only 2 came. It was mostly extended family.




My parents have a fire pit down on their property so my dad started a fire so the kids could roast hot dogs and marshmallows. I think this was their favorite part of the whole trip. We had a lot of fun doing that! Isn't it pretty down there?





I didn't do too much stitching this week but I did finish up another Christmas ornament. This one was in the 2007 JCS Christmas ornie issue. It's the ornie from Homespun Elegance. I can't remember what it's called and I don't dare go upstairs to get it because the little people are up there and the second they see me they'll want something. Isn't it pretty? I love the little crown charms and they were very inexpensive.

I decided yesterday that I need to take up rag quilting so as soon as I can venture off and buy some fabric, I plan to start on one of those.

Another lovely finish Jen! And the fire pit looks like so much fun! Boy is it green there!

Very nice finish. Glad to see someone is doing ornaments. I cannot seem to find the time to do any. Roasting hot dogs and marshmallows sounds like fun. I am sure the kiddos really had a ball with that.

Good luck with your rag quilts.
