This past weekend I was able to get a few stitches in on one of my camp pieces. This is glory house in progress. It will finish into a nice box for a summer piece. It will live at the lake with other patriotic goodies. I don't really have much in the way of patriotic stuff in the house so we will load up the lake place with theses style goodies. We are close to finishing the work up there so we can enjoy the cabin for the summer. My mom plans to live there during the summer and stay with us during the winter. We worked yesterday there after church. It is really a small spot about an hour away but feels like you are days away when you get on the water and relax. When we get the work completed I'll post some photos. Mostly I am happy to have found a few minutes of stitching time. It is just amazing to me how much less stressed I am when I can either quilt or stitch for a couple of hours.
I will have to break down and clean this week, my house is going to be a host house of a tea for a close family friend. We have been friends with them for over 10 years and it is so fun to see the oldest start the next phase of her life. It has been fun planning and hopefully I can get a few photos in before the chaos begins. So here is my idea for a give-a-way. We sent 116 invitations. The person who picks closest to the actual number of people who attend will win a prize! I'll announce the winner Sunday after the grand event if I'm still standing.
Have a good week and happy stitching,
Pam
