Update for the Week

OK, So I have been very busy this week. I have my duck applicates on their background, and have been playing around with the stitching. I think they are going to look great when their done, unfortunately, I have not had a lot of time to play with them.

I have also been playing around with my son's cub scout photos. I am making a slide show for his blue and gold banquet. I knew people had been making them in the past and they looked great, but working on one yourself and seeing how cool they can look is a whole other feeling.

This week starts a month long involvement with Girl Scouts, from activities and field trips to cookie booths. First we have a meeting tomorrow to finish up the swaps we will need for Saturdays field trip to the splash bash. Then we have a cheer competition, pine wood derby and the splash bash all in one day. I don't think there will be one minute to have for myself to sew this week, but I will get to it soon. I also want to try making the Carolina Crossroads Mystery quilt I found on the Web. So I will keep plugging along.

Today I am recovering from a weekend of Boy Scout Camping. I took my 10yr old son to interview a Boy Scout troop in our area for their annual camping get together. He will cross over in March. He really seem to enjoy the weekend, but it was very tiring, this was a non-stop event.

Before I left though, I did start a block from Jody Davis' Duck Series. I have the first block layed out now and am ready to stitch together. The only thing stopping the finished product right now is to machine stitch or try to hand stitch. I would like to try hand stitching so I am leaning that way.
