I'm Back!

And I'm exhausted!! My fingers ache (from gripping boxes and furniture) and my toes ache (from gripping my flip flops while trying move said boxes and furniture - what dummy wears flip flops while moving?). My stitching bag was not opened once. It was pretty much non stop work. We are halfway done. I just have to wait now until June 14 (we decided to delay our move a week) to move all of our stuff down here up there. I have a ton of packing and throwing away ahead of me. Fun, fun! I did manage to do a teeny bit of decorating...

In my bedroom I hung my two favorite Shepherd's Bush designs (Queen Bee Sampler and Beekeepers Cottage) on one wall and on the other wall my favorite L&L angel (Peace Angel). It was so good to see them hanging there. Like old friends I haven't seen in almost two years! Please take no notice of the hastily made bed! :) Well, I'd better get some sleep now. I've got to get back into my routine again! Write later!

  1. Your framed pieces are lovely. Hope your move goes well. I am almost finished packing, but I am dreading the actual move. Hope yours is uneventful.

  8. I love those two Shepherd's Bush samplers, I've done one of them, but not the other. I should dig out the pattern and make it up. Thanks for showing them.
