Fun on Friday!


 I knew I'd have to remedy the "no handwork" situation.  I found this fun embroidery that I started in a class with Kaari of  French General.

Here's what it looks like when it isn't a wrinkled mess! It's really fun to work on. 




Gay has released another set of Dear Daughter blocks. You can get them HERE Love the inked names with sayings and the year. 

My son is arriving back to the lower 48 very early this morning.

If you missed it, he's been in Kenai, Alaska setting fish nets for a cannery. His girlfriend flew up a few days ago and they are exploring together before coming home to Oregon. 


This was a king salmon he was showing us. WOW! My son isn't super tall but that is a really big fish!

    That is a beautiful embroidery piece.
    Is your son finished working in Alaska, or will he be going back?
    We have had a lot of friends and children of friends move to Alaska for good.

    That is a beautiful stitchery and you are doing a beautiful job on the stitching.
    That is one big fish, must be fun to explore new places for work and enjoy the beauty of Alaska.

    My son when he was in college spent a summer at the salmon cannery. What your son is/was doing in the salmon industry is such go money, it is for the young however. I was able to find your magazine such a very nice article.

    You've gotten really good at that embroidery! VERY impressive.
    And Kenny's catch is crazy. Hope he'll bring you some fish when they come back.
    I bet he had a great adventure!
    I'm around this week if you can meet for lunch?
