Summertime

I made a little progress this week, made a bib for K.'s baby boy.  Will post a photo later.  Here is the apron I made with the flower embroidery, wore it tonight to fry eggs.



Here is my progress on the cross-stitch.  I've been avoiding doing it because I'm on one of the harder parts.  I made a few mistakes, but I'm plowing on.


Me and my brother, C., went to town today and went shopping.  It went pretty well.  I got supplies for a dinner party I'm hosting and doing the cooking for mid-week.  M. and E. and J. and her boyfriend are coming over.  I love using initials!  It's so funny to me.  Or at least I hope they are.  They've had us over twice so far.  It's our turn.  Mom has no say in this because she is not helping with the groceries although she is donating a bottle of wine. 

I'm pretty happy today.  My friend, J., is in Seattle with her son today.  They are going to the waterfront and the Aquarium.  I'm kind of jealous actually.  I haven't been to Seattle since last Spring and that was just the airport, Sea-Tac, which hardly counts. 

I'm going to start a crochet project tomorrow.  The starting is the hardest part, especially with crochet.  I'm making a scarf for my friend, K.  It's going to be red yarn and darker red yarn, 2 separate strands, crocheted together.  The green one I made turned out beautifully, so did the purple one.  I have to make sure the colors are a little different; it's harder to crochet when the 2 colors are really close together.

I might start a sewing project this week, napkins.  I'm not real sure what I'm doing this week, so I'll have to see.

All for now ~ AW
