Happy Mother’s Day to everyone! Wether they be 2-legged or 4-legged kids or even somewhere in between, hope it was a great one! I worked for a few hours at the shop this morning. Brenda Hart has been teaching this weekend and I wanted to prepare lunch for the ladies as a Mother’s Day treat! Where were we going to order lunch that wouldn’t take forever? Thanks to Hillary who brought in the most delicious croissants!

I finished my ornament last week in remembrance of my trip to Japan. Canvas by Kathy Schenkel. It was just a year ago that we left on a trip of a lifetime! And 2 years ago was my trip to London with Needlepoint Now.

I haven’t been stitching much this last week, but we’re going to rectify that this week! Not sure what I’m going to work on, but I’m picking up that needle!

Notice the orchid with the silver sticks…well a month or so ago, it sprouted a baby orchid plant from one of the nodules. I have had that happen before, but never develop a bud! And the baby bud “bloomed” and just in time for Mother’s Day!

I really don’t have anything else too exciting to share with you..and a lot of it has to do with getting pictures transfered from my phone. Maybe I just need to break down and buy an IPhone as I hear that the pictures automatically transfer to your laptop for you! And that’s a decision for another day.

Here’s AlleyCat in all her glory who must join me while I’m my stitching. Love it as she keeps my lap nice and warm!
