Sorry I've been away for so long, I don't know what is happening, life is on full speed ahead and I'm jogging to keep up. Not an easy task for someone like me!
Not a lot of stitching going on around here, but here's a shot of a few things I've been working on...
This little owl was fun to work on, but seemed to take ages to finish.
This is a Christmas ornament, from the back, blurred so the recipient can't really tell what it is. LOL Yep...just had to show that I actually stitched something!! It's also so you can see that I finished two "Christmas" pieces this month, the other was "In the Meadow".
I've also been working on another SAL, but don't have any pictures to show just yet.
Lots going on here, and I've been away from home a lot, unexpectedly. Not all of it bad...in fact I was invited to a cousin's wedding in Pennsylvania a couple of weekends ago. What a lovely time we had, reconnecting with family we haven't seen in a while.
Preparing for the wedding, I found a little album they could later fill with pictures, but I found wedding quotes and filled it with some unexpected "bonuses". It took me days to complete this little "gem", but I hope they find it useful...and truly it was fun putting it together.
We met up with my Mom and Sister a couple of days before...
This little duck awaited us on the bath tub of the place we stayed....all the comforts of home!! LOL
Then met up with a few of my cousins on the day of the wedding. The Bride ...
And her family...
The view from the chapel, the ceremony was held at Hickory Run State Park. Lovely scenery!!
It was a fun day...I have a quirky family who likes to ham it up...
Oh sorry...I didn't mean lunch...
Here are are before...
My cousin Judy and I get together more frequently than the rest of my family. She sent me Marsha, so of course, Purple Dottie and Marsha had to have pictures taken together.
Just hanging with my peeps...LOL...
What I loved about their reception, is a friend of their's had an ice cream truck. They drove it to the property, parked it, and offered all kinds of lovely concoctions for dessert. Marsha had a Sundae, with hot fudge and peanuts. YUM!!
Their back yard is pure heaven...serenity at it's finest. I leave you with a parting show of the pond ... where kids were swimming and catching fish during the reception. It was a perfect day!
It stayed on long enough to get a picture...then he shaved the rest off. LOL!!
I nearly forgot we celebrated our Anniversary two days later...we got a flat tire on a very busy highway on Sunday and after calling AAA to change the flat, then driving to Walmart to get a new tire, the whole day was eaten up...not to mention all that waiting put us hours behind schedule, so we decided to stay the night near Lancaster. What a way to mark our 30 years (yes...I said THIRTY years!! You know he has to be a saint to put up with me THAT long!! LOL) of marriage. So I say, here's to thirty more, honey!!

You have been busy... and without me! Love the owl and is that a mitten I spy? Not sure I'm ready for snow yet, but he's cute!
Looks like you had a great time with family, even though getting home was rough. At least you'll never forget your 30th!
Miss you!
