Still raining!

We had a few nice days that actually got HOT in the low 80's.  Then it rained again.  DS and I ran out to get a sandwich Thursday evening and there was a lot of lightning, so I told him let's get our sandwich and just head home to eat it.  Well while I was in the sub shop the skies opened up and it downpoured.  When I ran to the car (about 10 feet) the water was ankle deep! My shoes are totally soaked and I have been trying to dry them out on the "air" cycle in the dryer.  Anyway, I could not see ANYTHING driving home.  Never been so scared!  Didn't want to try and pull off because the water on the sides of the road was so deep I was afraid I'd get stuck in it.  So we kept going.  All this in a 30 minute window!  I think the weather said we got 2" of rain in that time.  Crazy!

Our neighborhood has the annual "Neighborhood Garage Sale" this weekend.  OMG people who garage sale just seem to be rude and park anywhere they feel like.  They just walk out into the road and cross the street (and we have sidewalks here!).  It's been crazy. 

No stitching going on this week.  Had a pain in my right index finger by the first joint so I was resting it. I think I pinch-hold the needle too tight!

I think we're gonna need an ark soon

This rain is crazy! I tried to cut grass last night and it was so wet and then it rained all night and all day today too. Plus it's cold...about 46 degrees. Yuck!

Hi guys! Another rainy weekend....

It has been SOOOO rainy here this Spring.  But I scrapbooked three pages today, made three cards and finished stitching this Lizzie Kate design "Peep"....only a week late for Easter! Sorry it isn't ironed ... I was too excited to have something to actually post!  The fabric is lugana in the color Miracle Mint, a very pale green.  It came with the pattern.

Has anyone tried Bohin needles?  I got some and frankly do NOT like them.  The eyes are too big and the thread keeps falling out, and they bend!  You should see that one in the top corner...it's bent right in the middle! I had to throw it out.  Going back to my John James Petite 28's!

Well now to figure out what to stitch next...hmmmm.....
