Harvest Time, Sports

I give you....Harvest Time by the Prairie Schooler.  I really enjoyed stitching this one.  Love those colors!!!

I haven't figured out what to stitch next but some wips need some attention.

It was a big sports weekend for us this past weekend.  We attended the University of Texas vs. Kansas game in Austin.  The score was closer than it should have been so it was an exciting game.

At the same time, Houston Astros were playing what turned out to be their last play-off game and we kept looking up the score while watching the football game.  We listened to the last couple of innings in the car after the football game.  Astos are going to the World Series again!!

Also, my Ohio State Buckeyes handily won their game Friday night.

Happy stitching!

Back Home from Another Trip

We spent almost 2 weeks as Grandma and Grandpa's Day Care as our daughter transitioned back to work after the birth of our new grandson.  The 3 yo went to her day care (and her many friends) during the days and we played with her a lot in the evenings and weekends.  The time flew by and we enjoyed every minute...although we were exhausted much of the time.  (It's a good thing we have our children when we're young and more energetic.)

On the way back home we stopped in the Denver area to visit with our son and his girl friend.  Almost as an afterthought, we decided to spend Saturday at Rocky Mountain National Park.  We had a perfect day for visiting the park and really enjoyed ourselves.  We all felt the altitude when we were at >12,000 feet!  (Especially DH and I who live at 22 feet above sea level.)

Colorado is so beautiful!  We heard from our son that they had a big drop in temperature and their first snowfall of the season yesterday.

I had no stitching time while I was gone and have been enjoying getting back to my Prairie Schooler Harvest Time.

I'm thinking of starting La-D-Da's "Alone in the Garden" soon as well as getting back to the Lucy Redd sampler.

Happy stitching!

Model Finished, Lucy Redd, PS Harvest Time

The model I've been working on is finished and has arrived "home".  Happy Dance!

It's been very hot here still and lately rainy (Trop Storm Imelda) so I've had some extra stitching time.

I've worked a bit on Lucy Redd (Homespun Elegance) and, after seeing another stitcher's finish of PS Harvest Time, was inspired to start that one.

In the meantime, I've been tempted to start La-D-Da's Alone in the Garden and will splurge stitch it in silks (that are on order).

Happy stitching!
