This weekend stitching update

Hi,
This weekend we have been working on maintenance on the camper,doing things around the house and keeping track on the flooding at Splash Magic campground. Te flooding is horrible at the campground we were just up there over the Labor day weekend and had a great time. It is hard to imagine the devastation of the campground amenities
Today we walked around the Catonsville Arts and Crafts fair. I really enjoy walking around this fair.
On to stitching, I spent my time that I have stitching in Bicycle delivery. It is coming along. Til next time. Sue n MD

Two finishes

Hi,
Been trying to stitch every night, so here we have two finishes. JBW French Country Dog and a Kreinik Happy Jack Freebie. I started the French Country Dog - earlier this year. The Kreinik Happy Jack was a UFO for many, many years. I finished it up this weekend while we were camping. The French Country Dog  was finished before we left but I did not post about it.
Camping was great this weekend up in Central PA with my sister and a bunch of friends they know up there. Good time had by all.  I have been working on the Dimensions Stone Path Bicycle Delivery and Nuts Stitch Here by Trail Creek Farm.
Today at work, I made working copies of the two next projects. I have decided only to have two going at a time, one on aida and one on linen. It has been working out great. I have decided to work on one of them each night....at least put a few stitches in them and it has been great to be stitching again, consistently.

Til next time,

Camping, No Stitching

Went camping this weekend on the Eastern Shore, had a great time. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Weather was good, but raining when packing up this morning. No stitching as of late, plan to get it out tonight so I can stitch some tomorrow night. I took it with me, but did not get it out this weekend. Hopefully you all are stitching some. I caught up on all the blog reading, I really enjoy reading about all the stitching and activities going on.

My Whereabouts

Hi,
Been a while since posting...havent been stitching or reading....doing things around the house and been out camping the last two weekends. Takes a little time to prepare to go camping and have been doing that also. I hope to stitch tonight for a little bit during Survivor. Other than that not much else is new. Hopefully the weather will turn for the better, it has been raining for about the last ten or so days.
Til next time,
Hope to have some stitching progress to show,

Stitching, Frogging and Camping

Hi,
Spent the weekend camping....had a great time with camping friends. Sunday night....a little bit of stitching on the March towel....then some frogging, and some more stitching. Seems like the only time I stitch and blog about it is Sundays. I want to complete this towel by Friday. When I put a schedule to it, I seem to get close to the goal. Hope everyone else can getting in some stitching time. Enjoy....
Til next time,
