Hi everyone!!! I hope your day is as peaceful as mine. I have company from NY...my DH's brother, wife and nephew. We are having so very much fun. I've said this before but I'll say it again she truly is more like a sister to me!!!! Their visit came at a perfect time since I was feeling so homesick!!!! They wanted to do all the touristy things and so they went to Hoover Dam today and I am staying home. I really thought about going but felt I needed to rest since we are going out to dinner tonight at my all time favorite restaurant...Olives at The Bellagio and last night it was dinner at Nora's and sightseeing and a bit of shopping at Caesars!!!! It is fun being a tourist with them. DH was a bit upset I stayed home but my SIL understood since I still tire easily and wasn't able to get the whole week off from work for their visit. So I am working thursday and friday this week. Tomorrow my SIL and I are going shopping by ourselves and I am so looking forward to it!!!! In addition we are picking up Miraculous Birth Sampler from the framers during the day. This way she will be able to take it home with her and give it her cousin for Mother's day!!!! I didn't even realize it but it worked out perfect!!!!!! I will take a picture of the final framed piece and post it next week!!! I'm off to stitch and finish the pecan pie I'm baking!!!But first here's a picture of my Red Thread which is up to date for April......
Oh and I keep forgetting to post that I won a contest over at the Mirabilia Stitchers board last month or so. I won hand dyed fabric and 5 skeins from Sparklies . I'll be sure to post them when they arrive since she is putting them in the mail tomorrow!!!!!!
I am grateful for family.....

Congrats on the win!!! I can't wait to see what you stitch on your fabric...you always chose the nicest things :-)
