Another Snowfall!

Imagine that!  A two hour delay for work on the first day of spring because of snow.    I looked outside and thought I am going in normal time - I threw caution to the wind and defied Mother Nature!   Truthfully it wasn't even snowing but you know those decisions to delay start time are made the night before......boy was it a long day....everyone just kind of strolling in over the length of the morning.  And of course the obvious culprits taking advantage of the delayed start time.

Boy am I ever ready for warming temperatures and to start poking around the yard! (one more snowfall is in the forecast!)

.....enough of that work business/work type nasty necessity!  I am still working to balance my stitching/treadmill/yoga/reading routines.   I want to do all of them every day!  I am tearing up the reading since I read on the treadmill.

I actually was feeling like I had not made much progress on my two main stitching pieces.   We have missed so many Thursday night stitching groups because of the weather. Subconsciously I think these weekly get togethers spur me on in my stitching so I can show progress each week.  On closer inspection, I am getting there slow and steady.

Bits of progress on my Lizzie Kate Mystery Sampler.....this is what I see from it's mounted place on my Lowery stand.

Once I take it off the frame and out of the hoop, I can actually see I have more completed then I thought.

This is my guild stitch-a-long.   After each monthly meeting I am ready to stitch stitch stitch on it.  I am not a particular fan of the current band I am working on so of course I am easily distracted and am off to another piece.   We meet the second Saturday of each month so I will pick this up again on the 1st of April to finish row four in plenty of time.   So far I am staying on target with the monthly assignments.  No accolades please!  It is only month two.  Shame on me if I were already behind.

Like I said, slow and steady on the stitching, slow and steady on the treadmill, and even slower and not so steadily on the weight loss!  (Crap! on the weight loss but I won't give up.....at least I am getting more fit and flexible......weight loss WILL come.)  I am seriously behind on my correspondence.   I need to write a get well card for a friend that broke her arm; condolences for the loss of a friend's friend; get well for a friend with the nasty big C; a card of inspiration and hope for a friend that lost a child 6 weeks ago; and just some Hey, Hello! How are you cards.   But first, off to brunch with a friend then some antiquing.   What a better way to spend a sunny but too chilly of a day to be outside.  It makes me think that my Retreat in OCMD is only 5 weeks aways!   Can't wait for the sun, sand, broadwalk and 5 days with fabulous friends.  Oh and stitching and shopping too!

Thanks for stopping by and happy stitching all........
