I have had more free time during the week for a few weeks (been working more on the weekends due to some schedule changes, ugh!) but it has made for a nice change. Next week is a bit more work during the week and the week after that is full tilt again so sewing on weeknights may not be happening as often as I would like soon but for now I am enjoying it! Tonight Kathy and I watched the first four episodes of "Graceland" which we liked while sewing away. I started out with making myself a pillowcase to match my Picnic quilt since I will be bringing that on our road trip to Wisconsin (because I need a quilt!) and wanted my pillowcase to match. Kathy laughed at me, but that is how I roll!
I have been steadily working on the 35th Ave. "block" of the month. We were to do the first half of these SIXTEEN blocks last month and the second half this month. Seriously, I thought a BOM was "A" block of the month! I am happy to report that since I was alerted to the size problems Kathy had, I managed to get mine to come out to the right size!
Last night I organized my old cross stitch floss. I have had most of this for 26 years! I learned counted cross stitch when I was pregnant with my oldest and enjoyed it nightly for years, til one day I must have gotten too busy with school or something and I put it all away and never really got back to it. Now that I am embroidering I am happy that some of this floss will get used! Kathy also used to do cross stitch so we have tons more, but she stored hers in bags so as time goes on it will get wound into this box.
Here is a close up of the elephant from a few days ago.
Older picture, but in case you forgot this is what the elephant looks like :)

What fun. Sorry you are working on weekends, but looks like you are still finding time to sew.
