Life



Do you ever noticed how EASY it is to become bogged down in life.



We become overwhelmed by things...even the simplest of things become huge tasks once too much is already on our "Life Plate."

I myself and working through a menagerie of things I need to finish up and get off of my plate..and or new projects I need to start. Blah.


Seems like we go on vacation to "Get away from it all."
Only to come home to a monster.


And then we are also "tired" from being on vacation. Nearly to the point that we need a "vacation" AFTER our vacation.

I'm so behind now upon my returning home I have so much to catch up on....hence...my blog layout that is nearly a month old now. I just can't seem to fit it all in.

So please mercy and grace for me and I will get to it eventually.

Today I am off to fulfill some commitments.
And today is a BIG day for my husband...He has turned the "Big 50" today.

It's amazing how he has gotten so old and I have stayed so young.



I really should behave myself today....it's my turn in a few months. Ugh.

Embroidery Bits

I guess you can say that I like to embroider. But here's the thing: I really can't.
I rely mainly on the running stitch and only know how to do 3 other types of stitches (and 2 of them I can never remember the names of). So when people ask me if I embroider, I say "Yes" but it's always followed by a question mark.

"Yes?"

Here are some examples of things I've done:




I know, what the heck is it? 
I embroidered this orange carton and then decided it would be a purse for a little girl named Jamie. Hmm, is this a craftfail? Jamie didn't think so, but then again she's a very forgiving 4th grader.





This is a doodle drawing that I did with my kids during a recent trip to London. That's my lame version of Big Ben. I tried to embroider Van Gogh-like swirls to cover up my poor artistry. It graces the cover of a book bag we use to hold all our trip memorabilia.



Sometimes I do get the embroidery thing right. Here are two bags that I made.











Not bad, I know. Not practical, either.

And, of course, there's my New York City cork board. I only embroidered Manhattan and Brooklyn because they are the two boroughs that I actually lived in. And that 3rd piece of cork on the upper right corner is the little village that I currently live in--which is in Westchester county, but who's really counting, right?


Maybe one day I'll actually learn how to properly embroider. Right now, I'll still answer the "do you embroider?" question with a uncertain "Yes?"
