Catching up...

I just realized I had a bunch of photos I hadn't shared with you yet- I did share some on my photo blog but I thought I'd share those and some other here too.  :) The weekend before last I went to my friend Mandy's house for a Scentsy party.. I didn't buy anything.. :( But I did come home with some free goodies anyway.  The Scentsy lady gave me a free travel tin because I came early and helped get ready for the party- and after the party our friend Emily and I stayed around and hung out with Mandy for a while, and she asked us to come help her pick out her vegetables in her garden.  This is what we picked-

Mandy had way more than she would use so she took a few things and set them aside and let us take whatever we thought we could use.   I got a couple of eggplants, a cucumber, some tomatoes, a green pepper, and some banana peppers. :) We have been having some lovely salads with fresh vegetables the past couple of weeks! Rob cooked up an eggplant as well.  I am blessed to have such a generous friend!

I have been working on my letter "J" in the Stitcher's Alphabet this week- I did work on it a little since I took this picture but only got a little more of her kimono stitched.

I'm trying to decide if I'm going to work on this tonight or on the Brightneedle ornament I've been stitching.

Oh, I almost forgot- here are a few more photos I took at Mandy's.  She has a stray cat that she and her family have kind of adopted- it recently had kittens! Here are some pics I took while there-

Nothing hidden in this photo, I just thought the flowers were pretty. :)

I am going to be having some small giveaways soon- so watch this space! :) I am going to try to post more often as well, and check blogs daily too!

Loads of pics (but no stitchy ones)

In fact, I have so many pics that I will probably post them over the next couple of days-Mom and Dad's visit was great! We went to one of the aquariums while they were here- here are a few snaps from that day-

an albino turtle in the hatchery

we also went to the beach-

like my new nail polish?

I'll post some more soon- I have some great ones from today- went with David's class to the Life and Science museum- and they had a butterfly sanctuary!
