Here’s a close up of a square I stitched for Paula for the last round of the F&S Exchange. I started with Donna’s “Frosty Tree Trimmers” pattern (pictured below), changed the colors and added a scene in the middle.
Pretty cute, aren’t they? I’m hoping I can make time to stitch these (as originally designed) for Christmas this year.
I just finished up Outlander and I have Dragonfly on standby. I don’t know why it took me so long to read this book… I guess it’s because I don’t generally care for science fiction (time travel especially), steamy romance, or foreign history in novels. Since this has all three–centers around all 3 in fact– I just gave it a pass. But recently I saw it on Barbara’s blog and like a lemming I decided to read it as well. I’m glad I did; it’s a good story.
This school year I had a big plan–we would begin Spanish lessons in September and by the time Cinco de Mayo rolled around, we’d be able to speak only in Spanish all day. Only it didn’t happen that way… maybe next year. We’re still having the taco salad for dinner though.
