Progress Report

So have been so busy with the yard and things around here that not much stitching has been done.  Lots of progress on the yard.  Sprinklers are finally in.  Was beginning to wonder if they would ever be done.  Now I am working on putting in grass and the retaining wall which the beginning of disappeared to put the sprinklers in and I have to start over.  Here is what we look like right now.

Started the retaining wall work today as I have been on vacation this week.  Hope to see grass coming up in the front soon.

In stitching I did finish a knitted top out of cotton. 

I know it looks so attractive laying on a table. lol  Some day I might have a mannequin. Also made some progress on Lola. 

Hoping to work more on her tonight.  I am loving the colors in her and put the geese away as they were so dull to me. 

I am finding these days that the more work I get done the more there seems to be that needs to be done.  Not sure what that is about but it is a vicious cycle if you ask me.  I would rather spend my vacation playing.  I did go thrift store shopping with my mom on Monday.  We had a blast and I found some great deals.  The best one was a backgammon board that had all it's pieces for $4.99.  My son and I played that night.  He is happy because now he thinks he can beat his dad at yet another game.  Well, I probable should go cut out the cuffs for my blouse so I can have another finish before I go back to work next week.  Also have another sweater to sew together and a few other things I could get done. : 0) 

Happy Stitching!
