I got home yesterday from Florida and tomorrow we are leaving again for New York. We're going to stay in Virginia and then I'm going to take the boys for a quick trip to D.C. I told them to pick one thing they really want to do and they picked the National Museum of Natural History. After that we are going to drive on up to Long Island, NY. My MIL is there and we are going to stay with her sister for a week. On Thursday we have reservations to go up to the crown of The Statue of Liberty, so that should be a lot of fun. I'd love to go to SoHo to see all the cool shops, but I'm not sure what we'll have time to do. There's so much I'd like to do! It's been 17 years since I've been to NYC. :)
I did get some stitching done while I was down in Florida. I mostly worked on "Finch Song." Here's my latest progress pic...
Well, I'd better get back to doing laundry and repacking our bags. Write later!
This is just so beautiful!! I just love this and the colors are just to die for!! Have a safe trip!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, your happy dance is just around the corner. Safe travels, CJ ok;-)
ReplyDeleteYou will have a good time at Lady Liberty--are you taking the circle line tour of Liberty state park? (The ferry that stops at Ellis and Liberty Island?) That is my favorite way to "see" the city. I love going, and anytime someone visits I'm sure to take them there!
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned soho, but you should think about checking out the fabric/other goodies shops in the fashion district---dozens and dozens of fabric and lace and edging and other goodies closet-sized shops all in a row down a particular street....MAYBE 5th and 42nd??? At any rate, it's where those "fashion-creators" get all their supplies! I want to go again soon and find some unique bargains!
At any rate, have a great time! :D
(I'm hoping our pretty-good weather holds!)
Wow that is so cool...almost there!
ReplyDeleteYou did get some stitching done! Love your Finch Song, Nicole. Have fun in NY and I do hope you get to go to Soho.

ReplyDeleteWhere on Long Island are you staying? There is a GREAT LNS in Rockville Center called Lazy Daisy Stitchery. Diana is the owner and she is so nice to deal with. If you have time you should try to drop by the shop. It's so nice.
