Hi everyone! bunnylove I have had very little time to craft, must less post about it. My new dneice who is now 2 weeks and 5 days old is still in the hospital in St. Louis. I have been taking care of my 21mo old dneice (the big sister) as much as dbro needs me too. She has been here pretty much everyday, and about 4 night a week. I have also been helping my mom and dad at their store. Which will become a more full time gig after the baby is home. Thankfully we have had a lot of snow days so my 12 and 16yo DDs has been a big help with everything.

I have been doing some embroidering and just about have #5 of 7 tea towels done. I already have the hot pads and dishclothes for this set done. Then I will move on to another set.

So between now and next challenge I would like to:
[] Finish tea towels 4/7
[] Cut out nightgown for different Dneices b-day in March

Love all these little cuties. chocbun

Prayers are with you and your family and the wee little one.

Well, I forgot to post at the beginning of the week. I have an e-mail note that I just keep in my Magical Holiday Home folder in Outlook Express and I just keep updating it and copy and paste it here every week. This site keeps me so organize.
