Another great weekend is in the books and here we are in the middle of August already! It's crazy!
Saturday morning my church hosted a baby shower for my daughter-in-law Sarah. Yes, she and my son Kevin are having their first child in just about a month from now! It's a little boy and they've decided to name him Isaac. We had a wonderful time blessing this new little family! After that fun, I went out to a friend's place where she was hosting a 40th birthday party for the Twice & Thrice Mothers of Multiples club. We looked at old pictures from the conventions and other meetings and events we went to over the years. The club was such a lifesaver when my twins were little guys.
So Saturday was a party and the partying continued to Sunday, which was our oldest grandson's 13th birthday! I cannot believe he's 13 already! Today I took him out to spend some of his birthday money at REI, then for some lunch at Bob's Burgers.

Hans and Nana out for lunch! |
In between all that partying I got in a little stitching.

A Moment in Chalk |
I'm really not happy with the bottom three rows of the banner which I stitched first one x at a time since I'm using overdyed floss. But this 30 ct linen is quite loosely woven and more difficult to get a nice stitch than I'm used to. That's one reason why I transferred this over to a scroll frame and I'm stitching in rows. The tension is much better and the stitches are even. There's not a lot of color variation in this skein so stitching by row looks fine. We'll see how the other colors look when I get to them.

A lot of festivities and everything sounds like a lot of fun, Von. When our little grandson was here last month I also took him to a coffee shop every now and then and there we ate our favorite cake together, only grandma and him. And we were having a great time together.
Nice stitching projects you are working on. A nice idea to stitch A Moment in Chalk on that blue fabric instead the black one.
Looks like you are having a fab family time.
Great stitching starts .
Congratulations. You have a lot to celebrate. Great stitching you are working. It's hard to believe we are halfway through August.
So many fun things going on. I'm so glad you got to have a wonderful outing with your grandson. Mine turns 12 next week. Where does the time go??
