Lately...

So...lately I've been pretty busy. When I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off for too many days in a row, I tend to get sick. So I've been laying a little lower for the past couple of days so that doesn't happen :) Here are just a few of the highlights of my busy-ness:

I'm finished stitching the grapes, vines and leaves on my stitched painting.

Now it's time for the text, which will be a quote from the movie "Sideways". It's a pretty long quote, so I hope I finish this in a timely manner, since, as I mentioned before, it's a gift. And I'm also debating about the thread color for the text. I'm leaning toward a very light, almost white, green. But...I'm open to suggestions on that ;)

I had some quality time with Peanut and Little Man on Saturday. Here they are doing their "homework" together. For Little Man- actual, real life, homework (Psychology test) and for Peanut- circling the toys he likes in the toy catalog and showing us how good he is at clicking the ink pen open and closed! He cracks us up!

And he cracks himself up, too!

Yesterday, an unexpected thunderstorm rolled through and left an awesome rainbow, which you can barely see by the time I had a good spot to pull over. It was pretty, take my word for it! haha

And finally, by the time I write my next blog post, this beautiful girl will have turned 30 years old. Oh, my. It's hard for me to believe!  I was only 17 when she was born, so I'm glad she made it through those first few years with such a young, inexperienced girl for a mother. It really does seem like just yesterday that she looked like this :) Happy Birthday, Sister!

Have a great evening!  Juli
