Rita's Update

Sorry I've been awol for a while.  I've had a great time traveling a lot more than I've ever done starting in March when our first grandchild was born.  I've gone to visit her in CA twice already, Ohio to visit my parents with my son who was visiting from Denmark, to San Diego with DH while he was there for a conference, and I just returned from almost 3 weeks in HI visiting my sister, brother, and their families and helping my sister with some summer day care for her 7 and 11 year olds.  I've got another trip coming up soon (helping DD with day care when she goes back to work before her day care slot opens up) and maybe another with DH before my wings will be clipped for a while.

Needless to say, my stitching time has been much diminished (although I did teach my niece how to stitch) and I'm very behind on my ornament stitching.  I came home to a new model to stitch but hope to get back to ornament stitching as soon as I finish that and stay home long enough.

I've enjoyed seeing everyone's ornaments here.

Sounds like you have been busy! Thanks for checking in with us. There's a new issue of the JCS Hallowe'en Special out now, maybe there's something in there to inspire you.

Sounds like fun! I've always wanted to visit HI. I hope you get back to stitching soon!

Always good to travel and a great reason to be away from your blogging.

You sure have been busy! There isn't a better excuse for not getting stitching done than visiting with family especially a new grandbaby!!
