I'm back and with a finish....

I'm going to try and sum the last week up in this posting. I was in NY for a dear friends wedding and to see family! And while it was fun it was tiring and thanks to the wonderful thunderstorms our return flight got cancelled. Oh the joy of travel. I missed everyone and was thrilled to see them but it seemed that every minute was packed. My mom is better so that is a plus and should be discharged from rehab soon. Here is picture of me just before we left for the wedding . The wedding was fun and was a big wedding of 300+ guests...... DH and I had fun and danced a lot and it was fun to get dressed up! And they even had a photo booth set up which was lots of fun!!! I will try and post that picure in the next few days! Then there was the family BBQ up in Westchester at my dear BIL/SIL's...so fun. Here a group shot of us minus our nephew since he was taking the picture.. I even managed a day with my dear SIL for lunch and shopping! This trip is sounding better now that I'm writing about it......We packed a lot into the week there. It did rain in buckets our last day there which might be why they cancelled the flight but I never remember them cancelling flights in the past for a bit of weather.....

Now on too the stitching and my finish it was a freebie from Blackbird Designs recently..... I personalized it with my sister's name as a memory piece in honor of her since she first taught me to stitch! I also put two hearts instead of a bird on it for the two of us! I am thrilled with the finish. I started it just before and finished it while in NY. I stitched every down moment I had and dear MIL encouraged me! I do love her and speaking of her she absolutely loved the piece I stitched for her and I think was a bit surprised!!!!! I also started this one while there I loved it and saw it recently on KimStitches3 blog and knew I had to start her!!! Thanks for enabling me Kim!!!! Once home I found an WIP that was calling my name so this beauty has a bit more done on it the mermaid is almost complete.

My distracted mood is still with me but I honestly do feel better even with a migraine this week...think I'm just used to the pain. I really need to go jump in the pool so I'm gonna go. It's 106 here today and hot!!!!! I drank lots of water today!

I am grateful for being home safe and the sunshine..there truly is no place like home!!!!

Farrah Fawcett an angel too soon....
