Ahh... Peace and Quiet

I'm still in Florida, but I'm back at my brother's house. He has an extra house that he is either going to rent out or sell after the new year, but for a few days it's my vacation house! My mom has the two older boys and my MIL has Matthew. It's so strange to have no responsibilities! To not have to jump up every two seconds and do something! :)

When my dad and step-mom visited in November, I had mentioned that I would like a new stitching light. I never thought that they would get me one, but they did! I felt bad since I had gotten a magnifying light after they visited for myself as an early Christmas present. I love the one they got me though and I don't think I'll return it because it not the same as the one I have. It's an overhead light and has wheels, which would make it very easy to take from room to room.

I also ended up starting a little project. Shepherd's Bush "Queen Sheep." I should definitely be able to get it finished up today with the no responsibility thing I got going on here! :)

Well, I'm going to get back to stitching! Write soon!

  1. Hi Nicole,

    That's looking so cute! I'm sure you'll have it finished in no time since you're so fast. Jane is also doing a SB and I just started one too.

  3. Great new lamp Nicole - I have a similar one but it's an Ottlite but it does not have a magnifier attachment.

    Love the new start.

    Happy New Year to you,

  4. Enjoy your time while you have no responsabilities; I know the feeling, I have 2 boys of 8 and 5 years old and I also have to jump every 2 seconds.

    It looks like a nice project you have started.
