This is my progress piece from the LK Housework piece. I hope to finish it this weekend. I have done some other stitching, but I can't share. It's a model piece for JCS magazine. I'm enjoying it so far. I'm stitching it to make some $$$ to buy a Kindle 2. I really want one of those. I have just fallen in love with it.
Have you all heard about the Silver Needle/LK/JBW retreat weekend in July? It's the weekend after my birthday, so I persuaded DH to let me go. I've already sent in my deposit. So ecstatic about it. I know this picture is bad, but I found this on Moda fabrics blog. It's a baby quilt. It's just adorable, and I'm going to attempt it for a friend who is having a baby in May. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
These are my sweet babies. My DD #1 (middle) had her 9th birthday on St Pats Day. I can't believe that they are getting so big.

OK, so here's the rest of the elliptical story. Bought it online from NordicTrack. Received yesterday and put it together today. I couldn't get the stride on the left side of it to adjust. So I called NordicTrack, and the girl is like, "well, I don't really know why it won't adjust unless the pin is jammed". Mind you the piece that isn't working came preassembled. Anyway, another 5 minutes later and she was like, well, we can send service out to you, but it will be a $45 service call. I went off. I was like, why should I pay for something like that, when I just received it yesterday. I asked to talk to a supervisor, and she was like well, they would have to call you back tomorrow. I told her that she couldn't tell me that there was no one above her there.
Anyway, to say the least, she finally waived the $45 fee, and DH ended up fixing it anyway. Granted, I did lose it a little, but seriously, if I pay that much $$$ for that, I expect it to work when it arrives.
Alright, enough rant, I will write again soon.
Take care!
