ahhhhh....
it has been too long friends.
i have a good reason though.
we spent last week/weekend in oregon with our family.
and we went to the beach.
it was the first time miss S and mr. H experienced the sea.
it had been four years since i had seen it last.
waaaay too long.
i won't let that happen again.
it was wonderful.
they loved it.
they couldn't stop digging in and throwing sand.
we possibly got our christmas picture.
i loved spending time with this girl and her husband, who i amazingly did not get a single picture of. sorry josh! i am terrible!
this is my sister in law whitney.
i love her.
she is my sister from another mister.
she is so fun.
i miss her...
side note... it took us three times to get a good self pic that we were happy with. i still crack up thinking about it.
this little guy had the best time. he loved piling sand on spencer.
he didn't stop digging the whole time.
and that tongue.
i die.
this little lady just ran and ran and ran.
i totally love her.
it was fun to run with her.
and now, my report...
i am happy happy to say i have FINALLY begun the hand quilting.
i love it.
it looks good.
i will prove it in a couple days.
i received my pouch from the plp swap...
it is perfect for a little snack lunch and sooo cute.
my partner received her pouch and she loved it too.

Thank you soooo much! I love it! I really like that simple/less fussy style of embroidery but don't do it as I have never really mastered it. You are great at it! I love having my name on the pouch and then those little flowers. The pouch made of those great fabrics ...the little goodies to get me started on something new...Thank you, thank you, thank you!

ReplyDeleteNicke, what a lovely family! And I agree...being at the ocean is good for the soul :) Your embroidery is beyond good...it is fantastic!
