It's so quiet here now with only Matthew and I. I'm just kind of wandering around wondering what to do. :)
I had a lot of fun stitching at Amy's this weekend. I was not that happy with how my box turned out though. I may take it apart and do it over. I think I need to use a few more pins to get it a little tighter. Anyway, here is a pic...
I ended up going with the cream (obviously)! Amy had the idea of doing the trim on the top, which I copied. :) I did bring my camera stitching, but forgot my memory card. I have a bad habit of doing that. I think I need to keep an extra one in my camera case.
In other news I started another new project (I think I have been feeling anxious about the boys starting school). I started "Faith Hope Love" by Midnight Stitching.
I did work on my Neighborhood a little bit too. I've almost got the red house finished. I will post a pic after its done. Well, not much else going on here. Maybe I'll take Matthew for a walk. Write later! :)
Hi Nicole:
ReplyDeleteYour Chocolate Box looks really pretty! I don't think it looks like you need to redo it. Your little guy is so cute for his first day of school with his new clothes and backpack. He will make new friends easily I bet. Your stitching is really pretty on Faith, Hope and Love. I need to stitch. I haven't for a few days and I have to get this round robin done so I can go back to my own things.
The Chocolate Box is very cute. The soft edges makes it look like a cake!
ReplyDeleteChocolate Box turned out lovely Nicole!
ReplyDeleteI like your start on the MS design, very pretty :)
Like the box! And Your son is SO cute! Where did the time go, my son is 31!!
ReplyDeleteWhen memory cards got cheaper with more memory I started keeping extras with my cameras (small and larger Sony Cybershots) A DSL type is next when I get another camera. As my son says, those take killer pictures.
Lovely photos! I hope all goes well for the start of school :)
ReplyDeleteChoc Box looks great and love the Quaker too!
Congrats on the first day of school! He looks super excited :). I love how your Chocolate box turned out.

ReplyDeleteI think you chocolate box looks great - what's wrong with it? And I love your new project!
Delicious Box of Chocolates!
ReplyDeleteJake looks really sweet - all grown up and ready for his first day at school!
You can pick up memory cards quite cheap on ebay nowadays
Your son looks so cute for his first day of school! I know you can't wait for him to get home to hear all about it. My twins start kindergarten on Sept. 4th and I get the chills thinking about it! Your stitching is lovely! I love the chocolate box. I'm thinking I may try to make that for my Nana for Christmas since it is a tradition to give her a box of Whitmans Chocolates for every holiday.
