It's starting to get to me :(

I have tried to be good. I've done my best to continue working in our temporary arrangement. Despite boxes and bags and bikes and clothing everywhere, I've made the beds every morning. I have tried to stay upbeat. 

It's starting to get to me.

The lights went up in our place.

My studio has made progress.

These are some of our belongings in storage.

I wanna go home!

You be the judge.

I haven't posted photos of our place for quite awhile, in part because the photos I took were out of focus. The other reason? I'm not sure things are moving along or that they look much different and I'm a bit melancholy about that. I know, I was way too optimistic thinking things were moving along very well and WOW maybe they will be done ahead of time. Stupid me. We will be moving back in on June 8th. Period. No matter what. Really.

The Quail has landed!

This weekend I finished sending out the last of the new Cyberworkshop kits, completed two small stitched pieces that accompany my new series on color in Needlepoint Now, (I decided to spill the beans),and completed the stitch guide for Painted Quail!  I feel so good about these accomplishments.

The stitch guide is available in the shop, right here. To make the process of writing the guide more enjoyable for me, I worked on a beautiful layout with tons of photos and illustrations.

Our place is moving forward. I did take photos but all of them were very out of focus. I'll try again later.

Does anyone own an iPad? What do you use it for? Please talk me out of one!
