Monday update

I’m back!
It was a wonderful week off. I didn’t go near a computer for about 10 days… except a couple of times to look up things on Google or to download my emails. I didn’t read any blogs, I didn’t update mine, I didn’t mindlessly surf, and I even didn’t watch much TV. I tried to stay away from light emitting boxes (TVs, Computer screens, iPods) as much as possible, and tried to ‘get out’ more. So, I did lots of shopping, lunches with friends, visits with family, and hanging out with hubby. I also read a lot, and did a bunch of crafts and stuff too. The weather wasn’t the best as it rained a lot. But it seemed the sun always came out when I had to be somewhere or had to drive across the city to meet up with someone. So, it all worked out well. And the best part… I feel so relaxed! I encourage everyone to ‘unplug’ at least once in awhile. It’s amazing how good you feel when you go without electronic gizmos.

For the superstitious out there... my last post was my 666th post since starting this blog.

Here’s an update on the UFO project…

It’s finished! All done, and hung up now. So, I should be working on the next UFO project, right? Wrong. I started a new one instead. But, I had all the materials, thread, and frames in my stash of stuff, so it’s not like I went out and bought all new stuff for this one. It’s a series of 3 Christmas images. Santa, Reindeer, and Snowman. I started Santa first. Not that you can tell what it's going to be by this pic...

And I’m going to try, try, try to get all three done by Christmas. Even though I have Christmas cards to stitch still, and a whole bunch of new books to read (thanks to hubby, who renewed my Chapters card and bought me a couple of books for my birthday!)
