I didn’t realize that was a biblical quote–that coming from a theology major. Oh well–I actually preferred the Christian Old Testament. I was referring to a piece of counted cross stitch that has had my eye. With all this interest in counted cross stitch of late–I wonder if it has anything to do with my Summer of Stash. No new yarn to buy–how about cross stitch? Not that there hasn’t been a slip but photos of that to come and I don’t plan to start knitting it until the Fall.
Life has been so chaotic and busy. Entries have been planned in my head then things like kids and work and flat tires get in the way. Yea, a flat tire. I found that when I was picking Owen up from his respite program. The upside of the whole tire thing was the Homegoods next to Costco. Oh yeah baby! I got my chaise. While red is not my favorite color–it coordinates nicely with our room and the price was right. Oh, and it is comfortable too! I am already creating a mess right next to it.
In other exciting but old birthday news, Kevin made me a pie. He had it in his head to whip up a fabulous birthday dinner for me last Sunday and I had forgotten to tell him my mom was having a birthday BBQ for my sister and I. He was so cute on the phone with my mom, "But I was going to make a pie…" A pie. I don’t know where he came up with that but nagged him all week about the pie. Yesterday he made a delicious pie with chocolate pudding, cream cheese and toffee bits. Yum.
Last, I have been meaning to post a couple of pictures of my mom’s latest knitting creation. Are these not gorgeous?
The miniatures are old but always amazing.
