The Boys, The Girls & I

Have you missed me? Oh I hope so! :-)

I'd like to say that I've been super productive with my sewing, stitching & quilting but the fact is I've been spending time with the Boys and the Girls.

The Boys - my grandsons, Seth & Eli were both down with a strong flu bug. Suffering from high temps and had to be watched for the Swine Flu. They are both better and back in school today.

The Girls - The Truly Scrumptious girls (l to r Ava, Gigi & Izzy). These patterns are by Natalie Lymer/Cinderberry Stitches. I can't help but smile and snicker just a little while stitching these cuties! Six more to stitch!


And, now it's back to my long list of August goals. I hope that you've spent time with your needle and thread - I'll be visiting your blogs very soon to see what you've been doing.

I appreciate your visit - please come again!

In Friendship!

Your stitching is always fabulous. It is good to take time off for the boys and girls. They will never be this age again.

I just started stitching a Natalie Lymer pattern today for one of my swaps. Now how coincidental is that? I just love your ladies!

You've certainly been missed here in blogland. Glad that you're back and I hope that your grandsons are on the mend.

Ava, Gigi and Izzy are adorable and surrounded in such lovely frames!!

I was thinking of sending the dogs out after you, but I was afraid they'd go after the Wabbit gang. SO glad the boys are better - oh how I hate it when kids are sick!

Love love love your girls, and the fabrics you're using, so pretty!!!!

Ginger Patches said...

I'm glad your grandsons are o.k. Swine flu is no fun--take it from me and the rest of us in Ca. with it!

Every year I am more and more convinced that not only the seasons run in seasons, but I do too! Sometimes I steer clear of quilting because I am busy doing other things, but there are always certain times of year that I am very excited about my quilting. So, it goes in cycles. I have found that if I am not upset about it - it tends to settle itself.
