Still here...kinda...

duh duh duh duh...(to the tune of that Beethoven song that I don't know the name of...maybe the 5th?)...anyway...

I went back to work on Monday, hence my absence. I'm EXHAUSTED! I only have 1 of the 2 boys this week (Nicholas is with MiMi and Pops in Louisiana) and I'm still beat at the end of each day. Well, I guess I better get used to it, huh!

I have a few progress pics (You can click on pictures for close-up views). First up is Peppermint Lane by CCN:
Next is Peppermint Twist by Blue Ribbon Designs (I'm in the SAL on this one):
Next is a picture of my kitted up Quaker Christmas. I've chosen 40 ct. Abecedarian Blend (surprise!) and Gloriana silks...
And next is my kitted up Gilded Dragonfly by Just Nan. The picture don't do this one justice at all...it's PHENOMENAL and the colors are so bright and wonderful...I'm REALLY excited to start this one!
And lastly I'll leave you with a pic of my Baby Jack from just a few minutes ago. Even though mommy leaves him every day now, this is the face that I get to come home to. Makes it worth every minute :)
Happy Stitching! I hope you enjoy every minute that you have today with your family/kids/pets etc.

Jack is just adorable. That face would make me rush home every night!!! I understand coming home beat after a long day at work. Your progress pics are great. Keep up the great work.

Jack is a total cutie! Seems like you've been keeping busy with your projects...I can't wait to see your progress on Quaker Christmas too. I have that kitted up but I think it will be a '10 project for me as '09 is madness already!
