Happy Easter to my stitching friends! Hope you have a wonderful day however you choose to celebrate it!
Sorry for not being a more active blogger or stitcher this week. One of my other passions is singing and it has been a busy week for that. I sing in the choir at my church and we've had a number of rehearsals for the various Easter services. Last Sunday evening I sang at Evensong and now since Thursday, there's been a service every evening.
We will spend Easter at my mom's; she's a wonderful cook. My four brothers and their families will be there - unusual that we will all be together on the same holiday! Hopefully, my sister-in-law and I will be able to squeeze in a little stitching time after all the dishes are cleared.
Last evening, after I arrived home from church, I spent a couple of hours straightening up my stitching room - it needed it! Why is it that we experience such enjoyment from fingering our stash? I still have a few more things to put away this morning, but my WIPs are organized. While going through my patterns, I picked out designs for the Dog Days of Summer and For the Birds exchanges that I will be participating in on the U.S. Exchange Board. I also discovered a number of patterns that I didn't even remember that I had (how sad is that?)
It's going to be a beautiful spring day here in Minnesota - wherever you are, I hope you experience a delightful day. I'll be blogging and stitching more soon.
Hello Cathy, have a wonderful Easter! :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time over Easter too - sounds like you're having a wonderful one so far :)
ReplyDeleteWish I could hear you sing, Cathy! (My kids used to cry as babies if I tried to sing ... boo hoo.)
ReplyDeleteHappiest Easter to you & yours!
I'm sure your choir's singing was just as marvelous as at my church this year. Everyone was spot on!
ReplyDeleteI need to spend some time straightening up my sewing area. There's also a lot of paper stacked on my schoolwork desk - but I'd rather be stitching!
Delighted to hear you enjoyed the sprucing up of your stitching room. I enjoy thumbing thru my stash once in awhile, too. Only, now that I know where things are 'hidden' I'm not moving anything!!! LOL.
ReplyDeleteDid pull out my DT Sanctuary -- maybe I'll get more of the flowers done today. Always fun to work on flowers in the Spring.
