Catching up...

I don't know if it was the super moon...

or the little R&R trip we took...

or the crazy storms that rolled through...

but something in the universe aligned right and I was able to catch up on all my SAL's!  How on earth did THAT happen??

The picture above was taken yesterday...when they were warning a tornado was possible, and that sent us to our basement to wait out the storm.  Scary stuff!!

Here I am, midway through the month, and I feel so accomplished.  Not only am I caught up on all my SAL's, I even have my Christmas ornaments stitched for the month!  Now, if all goes well, I'll be working on Royal Garden tomorrow.  I was able to pick up the threads I needed over the weekend, so all is right with the world!!  So...let's start with the SAL's shall we?

Here is Au Point du Croix...I was two pages behind yesterday morning!  I finished the first page yesterday...

and the second page today!!  I should be good for a couple of weeks now!

Here is Marquoir Francaise...by the time I started working on this one I was THREE pages behind!!  It took me a couple of days, but finally I have it caught up too.  I'm not clear how her schedule works, but hopefully I'll have a week or so before I have to work on her again.

I finished up the snowman ornament, and the gingerbread man too!  These were my two ornaments for the month of July.

I was on such a role, I pulled out this little baseball glove for my son.  I think I'll hang it on the tree this year as a surprise for him!

We were able to squeeze in TWO Orioles games, I won't bore you with all the details...but we whopped the Yankees the first night, and they returned the favor the second night!  It sure was a lot of fun though!

 

This little Corvette was on display at the ball park.  They convinced my son to take a seat.  The look on his face was one of pure desire...maybe when he's rich and famous he can afford one of these beauties...

It's a special year for the Orioles this year!  They were looking pretty good before the all star break, let's hope they continue to do so well!!

With a little luck it won't be so long before the next post.  Till then, take care!
