A Cute Update

12 September 2006 21:25 Renée round robins, exchanges, & gifts, wips

For those of you who were wondering, the kitties and I managed to make it to Iowa safe and sound. You can read about the whole experience on my main blog.

In stitching news… I don’t have much! :lol:
Actually, I pulled out Bea’s round robin yesterday and started working on it. I was really eager to get back to my needle and thread and got a good start on my square. Bea’s theme is “cuties” and I have chosen an Edwina Hedgehog chart from my April issue of The World of Cross Stitching. This is my first Country Companion pattern and I will say one thing for it… It sure is cute! :P
I currently have no pictures because I don’t have a scanner and I need to charge my camera’s batteries. I am not sure how many progress pics I will be posting while I am at my mom’s anyway… I had forgotten how painful a modem can be! :x

    So happy to see you made it there safely! Have been reading your blog for a long time but I don’t think I’ve ever made a comment? I hope things continue to go smoothly for your transition back to the states! Will be thinking about you.

    Ah yes, the pleasures of dial-up ISP connections. That must be a change for you! :)

    Hi Renee! So glad to see you made it safe and sound to the US! *waves hi* Though I am a bit far from Iowa..LOL Welcome! It always is a good thing to come back to stitching after you’ve been away from it for a while. :) Don’t worry about not having progress pics just yet…just means you’ll have a ton to share once you get more settled! Hehe…

    Have a good one! *HUGS*

    Edwina is a cutie, and she should be fun to do. I’ll look forward to a picture when you can get one posted.
