A Little Stitching and a Birthday Girl

Over the last few weeks I have actually gotten in a little bit of stitching. I saw a couple of bloggers stitch up Falling Leaves from the DMC website, and it looked like a good one to use up some of my extra fabric pieces and overdyed floss.

For such a simple pattern, it's taking me forever to get it finished. But I am enjoying the stitching.

Current progress on Falling Leaves

I've also got a small start on Blue Ribbon Designs Red Velvet Inscription Sampler - very small.


There are 26 of these squares in the design, so this will definitely be a long-term project for me!

But the best part of this week was spending Wednesday with my just-turned 3-year-old granddaughter. We went to the car wash, the mall, Costco, McDonald's, then to my office and had a blast together.



I hope you had a wonderful week like mine!
