A Finish!

I have finished another bear for WOCS charity stitching. This one is called Sandy Bear and its from 101 Bears with Personality.

Stitching and More..

I only have a few stitches left and then my little Sandy bear will be finished. I thought I was finished but I had forgot to stitch the flag on top of the sand castle. That should take about 10 min in all. I will post a pic when it is completely finished.
Other news: I have moved my blog links to Google Reader. My bloglines only worked part of the time and I missed alot of new posts. I am hoping this will work much better. I liked the format and adding the links was a simple process. My computer time is limited now that school has started and I need to know when my friends have added new posts. Now, hopefully I will see them quicker and not be a week or two late with my replies!

The End of Summer Vacation

Well, summer vacation has come to a close and I was not ready! I had to take some time off from stitching and blogging to get some work done before school started back, which was this past Monday. The heat index has been up to 107 and the air was so humid it was difficult to even breath. Several people in our area are in the hospital with heat related illnesses. All schools have been told no outside sports practice until it cools down. Our school will not allow any children outside for recess this past week and probably the next unless it cools off. We have not had any rain in weeks. I have missed stitching and blogging and I am planning on working on my afghan today. I have a lot of stitching to get finished before Christmas, which is only 4 1/2 months away!!!!
