PROJECTS!


Chairs, chairs - Our chair love is immense, but our house just cannot provide room for all of the lovely ones out there, and they cost a lot.


So I'm going to stitch some up and hang them on our wall - genius thinking from an Etsy seller from whom I bought all of these cross stitch patterns (btw, Etsy rocks my world).

These are photos of her final works. I'm thinking I'll stick the "Love" one on a pillow (as the seller did) and leave out the artist's signature. I've bought all of the beautiful floss and fabric and am dying to start once we hit the road for the beach next week!

How is your color wheel blanket coming along?

So far so good, thanks! I've cut out all of the colored fabric for the wheel - finally unfolding all of the fabric and seeing all of the individual designs was so fun -and then Emily's going to teach me how to sew it all together!

I'm impressed with your desire to create. Sometimes I think all I like to do is consume. I love to read and discuss, but writing reviews is one step I don't love. I love to play music, but would not consider composing. Hmmm...

Umm, Jill your patterns look great, but get started already!!
Have fun at the beach, I'm sure you'll have plenty of time on your hands! You will have to give me ideas for our beach trip on how to stay busy! I hate sitting for too long...
Miss you!!

i love you guys so much! and karen, you create more than you know. you create and maintain a strong body (yours of course) and run and excel at races that would kill me. and i mustn't forget skills that you're developing like surfing.

and christina, you're right! what am i waiting for?!

for the beach, definitely bring a good book or two; of course your running shoes which i'm sure you've already packed -i'm going to bring my excercise stretch band too; a few new easy recipes to try; and practice some meditation! ;)
