I got home from California Friday night in time for Ryan and I to go out to dinner and relax for the night.  Ryan had to work all weekend so it was nice to have one night to relax since I had been gone all week.

Saturday I went shopping with some friends up at a cross stitch store in Grantham, NH which really got me inspired to stitch again.  I actually have been stitching a little lately, last weekend while recovering I stitched a small gift for someone for Christmas and I started a small kit I got at Celebrations for the plane ride to CA.  So while shopping I bought some fabric for a set of seasonal pieces I’ve been wanting to do for a while and when I got home I started on it.

Today I finished cleaning out the livingroom/diningroom area so we can start on the electrical work now.  All the trim and extra wood had to be moved to the basement and then I vacuumed and organized everything else.  As soon as Ryan has some free time we can get the holes drilled and run some wire.

Once it got dark I settled in to stitch for a few hours.  I’m working on Autumn in my Garden by Mirabilia (there is one for each season).  I’m stitching this on 40ct hand dyed linen.

Autumn in my Garden - started 11/20/2010 on 40 ct linen.

Now it’s off to bed and a short week at work.  Monday is a short day this week, I’m meeting up with my sister for lunch and then watching my nieces for the last time this semester.  I can’t wait to see the girls, it’s been too long!
