I'm still plugging away on LHN Family Sampler. I have most of most of the bands finished except for a few little touch-ups (one more band to go). Then I have most of the border to tackle. I'm enjoying this project but will be glad to finish and move onto something else.
I felt the need to have a finish AND was in a patriotic stitching mood so I stitched up this little beauty (a freebie at the Janlynne website) designed by Sandra Cozzolino:
A quick little mom brag....DS received his AP scores this past week and scored 5's on both of them. Yay, T!
Also, our baby barnswallows reached a milestone this week; they've taken flight! They still return to the nest in the evenings and mama and papa are still feeding them.
Tomorrow I'm meeting with some stitchy friends for a little get-together. For some reason, the food always has a theme. This time the theme is the beach. I'm bringing a watermelon carved like a shark (as seen on Pinterest) and filled with watermelon and gummy fish. I also had the idea of taking some goldfish crackers, serving them from a plain fishbowl. I thought it was a brilliant and easy plan. You'd think it would be easy to find a plain old fishbowl in the pet dept. of Wally's World but noooooooooo. Hopefully I'll find one somewhere else without too much trouble.
I hope everyone has a fantastic week!

Meet the Family
This week I've been working on the family band of LHN's Family Sampler. It's been fun choosing the colors for the eyes, hair, and clothing. I see now that I didn't stitch in DH's mustache...I'll have to fix that. Sorry the picture quality isn't great....I've been taking pictures of it on the stitching stand. I'm really enjoying this piece and look forward to finishing it. I've got a way to go, though.
Speaking of families, our bird couple's eggs have hatched. For a while we only saw 3 babies but yesterday I saw the fourth...so all their eggs have hatched. Mama and Papa bird have been very busy tending their babies. It's fun to watch.
I hope everyone in the US has a happy July 4th!
