Package in the mail!

Don't you love it when you come home and you have a package in the mailbox for you? I know I do. Today's package was full of the threads and pattern for Nora Corbett's Holly! I cannot wait to start it!!!! But I will not till I finish Eeyore! At least that is what I keep telling myself!



Speaking of Eeyore. I am so very close to being done. If I don't finish it this week, then I am just being incredibly lazy!!! As you can see, I just have the bottom right corner left to do. It's not really a bad amount. I'll try to work on it tonight while I am watching the finale of The Bachelor.



This weekend was relaxing but kind of busy. I was lucky enough to get my hair cut and colored on Saturday, followed by a trip to Hobby Lobby, and then a very exciting LSU men's basketball game. The weather also went from hot to cold in one day! Saturday started off in the 70s and by 5 pm it was 49 degrees!!! I loathe when it does that. Sunday was a pretty day with white fluffy clouds and bright sunshine. Duke enjoyed spending some time out on the balcony. HOWEVER, it was all very deceiving!! The wind was wickedly bitter cold and the temps were in the low 50s! I am so glad I decided not to go to the LSU baseball game!!!! On Sunday, I caught up with an old friend/boyfriend of mine from high school. We hadn't seen each other probably since sophomore year in high school. Through Facebook we were able to reconnect and it was really nice catching up with him and comparing notes on where we've ended up in our lives!!!



This week is going to be a very busy week at work. I have a mini-convention on Friday and then I am also helping another coordinator with her convention which is next week. And it's a big one! Over 600 participants. That is double my largest convention!!!! It's already kicking my butt! But I did hear from My Sailor today and he is once again, or at least I am assuming he is (I guess I should have gotten that clarified!), that he is back on land again! At least he is alive! :)

I hope to make some progress this week on stitching and hope to share that with all of you later! Have a great week!

Weekend Update

While mentally I am not feeling any better, I did get some stitching done this weekend along with a little bit of shopping. In an effort to boost my spirits I went shopping and bought some new clothes, bought ingredients for a new recipe, and hung out at the bookstore. The clothes are nice, time at the bookstore was peaceful and the new recipe, well, it was a new recipe. Definite tweaks are needed for next time!

This week I stitched on Dragon Knot. I finished all stitching with DMC 168 on page 4. Then I got bored and put it down. LOL!


I then picked up Eeyore and completed the 2nd page. I'll be moving on to the 3rd and last page. I'm hoping to have this one done very soon so I can get it finished as a blanket and then shipped off!
It's also mardi gras time down here! Not sure if I will make it to New Orleans this year, although I certainly do need a good party, I did find this single serving size of King Cake. Original King Cake (no filling). I love King Cake but it always comes in the big rings. I found this little one at Fresh Market. Just the perfect size!
