Remember Me?

The good news is:  I started a new job last week!  Yippee - a paycheck!  Ya know what that means, I can afford to buy new fabric. 

The bad news is:  working is hard work, and I'm having a hard time adjusting to being on a schedule again.  I'm totally exhausted, and all I want to do is sleep.  Therefore, not much stitching or blogging has been happening.  I'm going to a quilt retreat this weekend, and I'm hoping to be wide awake, and very productive.

Here are some flowers that I did get stitched.

And here are the flowers that I got from Kris my partner for the Inchy Swap this month. She also sent some very pretty fabric, some hexie templates, and a bite of chocolate. 

I hope to get back to normal, soon.  I'll see you around blogland.

Sunny
