DH stayed home - slept in uninterrupted, went rock climbing, played roller-hockey, and watched movies with his aunt and uncle. We all had a nice weekend.
In stitching news, I finished my tin but don't have any good pictures to post. I gave it to my sister this weekend when we went out there and tried to get some good pics but they all turned out blurry. She promised to email some better pictures. It turned out great for a first time - if I do say so myself. But you'll have to wait for pictures.
I also visited a needlework shop in the tiny town we were in to visit my sister. I was a little less nervous to go in there since I won't be a regular or anything. It was super small and filled to the brim with needlework goods of all kinds! I tried looking at the linen to see what they had, but it was a bit of a disorganized mess. I did end up with a pretty little piece of WDW linen - very neutral, the color is called "linen." I was thinking it would be suitable to try a needle roll on. If I decide not to use it for that, I can always stash it away. And I picked up a Calico Crossroads design that my sister really liked - so I'm going to do that for her. DH has given me a rule that I am to have no more than 10 unfinished charts at any given time. The new chart takes me to 8, but it should be a quick stitch and I've got some linen coming from Mary Kathryn to do 3 other projects. So I'm thinking I have things under control.
Well I'm off to visit all of my blog reads I've been missing out on for the past 4 days! I have all my blogs in Google Reader and it's great! I don't have to go searching for unread posts.
Thank you all for visiting and for your wonderful comments!

Hi Kim,
Great picture!!! I love your hair but that is really awesome to save the locks for that organization. Darling little 'cuddle bug' of yours :) Those slides are such fun and sure looks like you did have a blast.
Tanya
Cuddlebug is a cutie, aren't those slide things a blast? Sounds like everyone had a fun weekend!
What a sweet picture of the both of you!:)
I use my fabric marker to mark the center of my fabric. I have tried several times (and failed several times) to start stitching from the corner of my fabric and it always ends up a disaster.
Sounds like a great weekend. CB is cute. What unruly hair. Growing for Locks of Love. What a great thought.
Keep on stitching and stashing.
What a cute picture of both of you: you seemed to have had a lot of fun ;)
There are all kind of LNS and I'm sure one day, you'll find one that is more organized ;-)
Sounds like a fun time you had! Thats a good rule about the 10 charts, wish i could stick to something like that LOL
Looks like you had a great weekend! :)
Congratulations on your first foray to the LNS. I'll bet before long you will be able to set foot in the one near you. I'm looking forward to seeing your finished tin. I'll bet that one will be a monthly finishing challenge, so you've already had some practice!
I tried to leave you a comment yesterday, but it hasn't appeared so I'll try and remember what I said! : )
You look as though you're having as much fun as CB ... and what a cutie he is!!! Two of my friends and one family member has participated in the Locks of Love hair donation...that is so admirable. My hair is so curly and unruly that anything past my shoulder and I could sub for Rosanne Rosanna Danna on SNL. As for the ten project rule, I'm glad your husband doesn't know mine or I'd be in big trouble! : )
Oh my....a novice to the world of cross stitching and LNS's! I have a feeling that before long you will be so hooked that you'll be hiding charts all over the place. No way could I stick to ten....maybe ten thousand! But then I've been stitching for nearly 30 years, so I've aquired quite a "collection". That's how I justify my stash. I collect stash. Period. Anyway, it's nice to meet you and hopefully you'll visit me sometime, too! I'll enable you BIG TIME! LOL
Hugs,
Carolyn
I love this picture of you and your Cuddle Bug! :D
Congratulations on the tin! I've only tried once and botched it terribly. I've almost worked up enough nerve to try again. LOL!
What a lovely photo of you both! Cuddlebug looks so cute:)
Cute photo - looks like you are both having a lot of fun :)
