July TUSAL

Yippee!!!! As of 5:30 this evening I will be officially on holidays for the next two weeks.

So before I disappear for awhile here is my TUSAL update. (We will be spending most of the time out at our trailer with limited internet access.)

I pushed  the threads down last month, so I have room again in my jar.  I have a little more to add to the jar (including some cotton yarn from the dishcloths I have knitted) but I left them out at the trailer so I will add them next month.

Take care and happy stitching!!!!

Vacationing, Volunteering and Redecorating leaves no time.................

for blogging.

I have been away from here so long I don't know where to start. At the beginning of October my DH and I spent a week out at the trailer preparing to close it up for the season. I managed to stitch a few Halloween and Christmas ornaments while we were away. I will try to get pictures of them posted by the end of the weekend.

Since coming back, I have been bussssssssssssssssssssssy with my volunteer positions in the Girls Guides of Canada. I don't have a unit anymore but at this time of the year, between Registration and Cookies, I am a hoppin'. No time for stitching, unfortunately :(.

We also have been doing a bit of redecorating. My husband just finished repainting the downstairs hallway, the LR, the DR, Den and Kitchen. He also installed new blinds in the LR (currently waiting for the new valances to be made) and we had the furniture reupholstered. We also put in an electric fireplace in our Den. We have a real fireplace in our LR but since we spent most of time in the Den the electric is a nice substitute.

I hoping that by the end of the weekend, my home will be back in order again and I will be able to find time to do some stitching. I think I am going through a bit of withdrawal right now.

Happy stitching!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quick Update

I am on vacation until the 9th of August. We are spending the time at the trailer (we are just in the city for the day). I am getting a lot of stitching, knitting and reading done (plus a few chores - we finished painting my in-law's garage yesterday evening - Yippee!!!!!) I will try to post some pictures the next time we are in the city (the 5th of August).

So far we are having great weather (unlike last year where it rained pretty much every day).

Hope you are all having a great summer.

Happy stitching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
