It's time for designing Halloween!

This is one of my favorite times of the year to design because I am busy working on Halloween and Christmas themed designs - summer is always a little challenging to juggle everything with the kids being on summer break (84 days this year!) but I do have a couple of actual summer style designs I will still release in July so that I don't leave you high and dry until the Halloween designs release for me in August.  

Just to whet your appetite I am going to attach a couple of photos of my current work in progress - Halloween chart - let me know your comments on what you can see!

Happy Stitching!

Summer = Flowers = One Happy Girl!

Well we planted all of our container flowers about a week ago - lots and lots and LOTS of flowers - did I mention how much I love flowers????  Anywho, last Friday arrived and on the late news the weather person announced we were in a Frost Advisory that night - in late May!!!!  So we then spent a chunk of time trying to move most of the pots of flowers into our shed so they wouldn't be dead the next morning - we towed them on sleds and wagons and carried the smaller pots...like little soldiers one after another. The good news is they all survived - yay!  So let me take a moment to share some pictures with y'all tonight!

Fresh peas!

Vegas Baby!

I was just in Vegas for meetings - I think I am becoming old because while I've been here many times before, I found myself watching all the craziness going on and shaking my head!  I'm all for "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" but holy smokes, it was insane!!!!

Anyway I'll share some lovely travel pictures with you and say that for the first time ever I was in Las Vegas for big thunderstorms and pounding rain - which they really needed.  Dined at a Gordon Ramsey restaurant in Paris Las Vegas (incredible food), ate Italian at Rao's in Caesar's Palace and attended too many meetings, that's for sure!  Oh, and may I add that wearing heels after only wearing running shoes and sandals for so long is never going to end well for my feet - NEVER!  Ouch!

Happy stitching and let me know your plans for this upcoming long weekend, the official kick off to summer!

A view of Lake Mead down towards Hoover Dam - just look at how low the water level is.
