Small Project!!

Good Evening Bloggers! I have not posted much because my life has suddenly got busy. With this house being built and working full time, I am exhausted by the time I get home everyday. Unfortunately, my blog has been neglected. I have tried to keep in touch with what is going on in the rest of blogland. I have enjoyed seeing all your wonderful treasures and your creative treasures!!
I was able to spend a little time this weekend on my embroidery machine. I am working on a couple of pillow cases to use in our guest bedroom at the new house. I thought I would show you the one I finished!!

    Hi Susan. I found my way to your lovely blog by way of BJ. I can relate to "blog neglect." I was so bad that I went MIA for almost a year. 2010 was a crazy year for me. Then to compound everything I started feeling soooo guilty about being so neglectful.

    I can't wait to hear more about your new home.
    Enjoy your weekend, Sue

    Hi Susan!
    I'm so glad you found my blog so I could find yours! I do recognize your face from out in blogland from us visiting the same places *winks* What a pretty pillowcase! I have such an appreciation for embroidery and how time consuming and labour intensive it is as I do needlepoint. I'm your newest follower. Vanna

    You must REALLY like to do embroidery..if you have a machine for it. GOOD for you... for following your passion.
    I would be exhausted too if I were YOU...gosh just keeping track of having our house built was exhausting to me. We had to get "after" them all the time for things that did not seem to be done right.

    Gorgeous pillowcase! I totally relate. I'm in the same boat with the time factor. There's just not enough time to do it all. Take care of yourself and blog when you can.
    Blessings,

    Susan, I am so glad to hear that I am not the only one who has been neglecting her blog! I have been so busy too but I am starting to get back into the swing of things now.

    Hope that your house doesn't cause you too much stress. I can't wait to hear more about it soon!

    Hi Susan, it certainly sounds like you are incredibly busy. I don't know how you had the time to create the beautiful pillowcase.
