May IHSW

So if you are not one of my stitching friends, you are probably wondering what in the world "IHSW" is...I will not keep you in suspense.  "International Hermit and Stitch Weekend" is found over at Joyce's blog -- it's fun because I know that as I stitch that weekend, hundreds of other stitchers are working on their projects, too!  Yes, I'm kind of a nerd.  But then we've been over that before.

I actually didn't accomplish much, since I didn't have any time to "hermit" (and what mommy of young ones has time or opportunity to hermit? none that I know!).  But I DID finish my "May Cottage" (Country Cottage Needleworks).

Here's what I had on Saturday afternoon, having not stitched since Thursday night:

Only the top border and a tiny bit of the bottom border to go!

 And here's what I finished as of last night:

Ta-da!  Now to find fabric to match and get this baby "finished"!

I've already pulled the threads for the "June" Cottage.  Yes I'm nuts.  But, I just finished up BSF for the summer, so I have more time to stitch!  Though, as one of my teaching leaders said, "You are on vacation from BSF, not on vacation from God!"  I do have a summer Bible study lined up, so I will still be "in the Word!".  (But I will NOT be doing homiletics, as much I do actually enjoy that.)  ;)

I notice that I'm very "link-y" today.  Lots of links.  Click, click away.  It's much easier than explaining stuff.  Cause I'm lazy.  I'd rather be stitching.
