How fast a week can go...

Wow, why is it that when we were little, the days just dragged on, summers would never end, and we were wishing that we were 16 and wanting to drive or date or something. Now, we wish that time would just slow down a little. It seems like yesterday that our children are born, and now we wish they would quit growing up.

Same goes with the weeks. It turned out I was off all of last week and this week too. I start my new job on Monday 5/4. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of my time off. Last year I really didn't get a vacation because I had surgery, was home for about a week, and then went back to work. Unfortunately, the time has gone awfully fast.

Here are my progress pictures over the last week. I've really enjoyed having the kids at school and stitching to my hearts desire. Of course, with a little cleaning and laundry thrown in too. The progress made was on my LK ABC piece, By Gone Stitches Quaker Virtues, and Plum Street Sampler Still Waters. The Plum Street piece is my SAL with Jean whose blog is the Slow Stitcher.

Then this week, I decided to also work on a couple of little projects as well. They are both from LK. The first one is from LK Little Cups of Friendship. It's for my MIL for Mother's Day. The other is the first ornament that I've stitched in a long time. It felt so good to stitch it too. It's called LK Happy Holidays. I finished the ornament right before the power went out (at 11:30 pm) for about 4 hours. There wasn't a storm or anything. I really hate Ameren. It never fails, I don't know how often we lose power just because.

Thanks for looking at my pictures. I hope everyone has a wonderful week.
