I'm packing my bags...

It's about that time...the annual stitch retreat at St. Michaels!  I have been getting things ready for a few weeks now, but now that I'm leaving tomorrow, I'm still not packed!!  I'm not sure why I'm dragging my feet, unless it's because of this rainy weather.  Or the fact that I've had some bad news this week.  I've written about that on my other blog, Grace Notes, if you have an inquiring mind.  I hope wherever you are, that you are safe and dry.  The pictures I see of the storms out west are heartbreaking, and those people are in my thoughts and prayers.

I haven't had much time to stitch lately...so much going on so there isn't much to show.  I have a couple of pages for my SALs that just came out but I thought I would take those to my stitch weekend (not to mention I was told I couldn't stitch on my Maryse SAL until after the first of May...Gillie needs to catch up...LOL!!) and hopefully catch up then.  

I did stitch on Quaker Diamonds but not for long...finishing up another motif and the first page!  Here's my progress...




I also stitched a bit on the Au Point de Croix SAL but still have a wee bit to finish.  Here is my progress on that...



I worked on In The Meadow a little this week as well.  This one seems to be taking forever!



I almost forgot to post my orts picture for the TUSAL.  I have done quite a bit of stitching this month!!  Just not this week...LOL



It has taken me forever to get this post finished.  I've had several interruptions, one being that my son is stranded in a nearby county (he went to youth group at church and was stranded due to flooding).  Between finding out what roads were flooded, and phone calls to people, and conversations with my husband I can't seem to keep my thoughts organized...so this will have to do for this post!  LOL  I'm sure the next post will be flooded with pictures and stories of our adventures.  Unless I'm forbidden, because words keep echoing in my ears...What happens at St. Michaels, stays at St. Michaels...hee hee!  I'll see you when I get back!  Till then, happy stitching!
