Blog Hops Will Return Over the Summer [and some random photos]

A few people have asked why the blog hops stopped. Honestly, just life getting in the way. We’ve been so busy with work, school, soccer, so on and etcetera….

Once soccer season and school are over the blog hopping will get back to normal. I expect our next hop to be June 15th. In the meantime enjoy these photos I managed to snap of the kids (getting them to hold still long enough for a photo is seriously hard!) …

Lucas received some cool new golf stuff for his 15th birthday over the weekend (new golf bag and a new hybrid #3 club)
Lucas is 15....

Stitching Bloggers #17: Shoes, Shoes, Shoes

Stitching Bloggers Blog Hop Hosted by Stitching the Night Away

Welcome back to the Stitching Bloggers blog hop! I’m running a day late with this one, because for some reason I thought Friday was the 14th and Saturday was the 15th. The calendar inside my mind is a messy, messy place sometimes. I think my internal clock is still out of whack from Daylight Savings Time last weekend.

Anyway, I’ve closed the widget on Blog Hop #16, but you can still visit the blogs and pick up the blog prompt if you didn’t have a chance to participate yet. You’re always welcome to use the blogging prompts at any time with or without the widget.

Stitching Bloggers #16: How Many Needles Have You Lost?

Welcome back to the blog hop! I’ve closed the link widget for hop #15 (stitching when you don’t feel well), but you are always welcome to grab the questions from previous rounds and blog about them without using the widget.

I can’t believe we’re half way through February already! I feel like 2013 is happening in fast-forward. Let’s get to the blog prompt….

The blogging prompt for hop #16 is:

How many needles have you lost? Feel free to estimate. Tell us your best “lost needle” story ;)

Personally, minding my needles is something I pride myself on. I’ve only ever lost one needle – and I eventually found it two weeks later!

Stitching Bloggers #15: Stitching When You Don’t Feel Well?

Stitching Bloggers Blog Hop at Stitching the Night Away

Welcome back to the Stitching Bloggers Blog Hop! Thanks to flu and cold season we’re a little off schedule here, but we won’t let that get us down. In fact, we’re going to let that inspire this round of the hop. Blog Hop #14 has been closed, but you can still stop by and visit all the participants, reviewing the accomplishments of 2012 was a lot of fun and we’re ready for big stitching goals in 2013.

The blogging prompt for hop #15 is:

Eventually there comes a time when you’re not feeling well, whether it’s the flu or a cold or something else entirely. The question is, do you manage any stitching when you’re under the weather or does it just have to wait for better days?

January Stitching Challenge

starWhen I looked back at my year in stitching review I realized that I did not make enough time for my stitching, which in turn means that I did not make enough for *myself* throughout the year – time to just sit, enjoy a cup of something steamy and relaxing and stitch the worry away from my day. No wonder I was so stressed out and cranky some days (right?)

My word for the new year is happiness. I intend to take more untraveled paths, spend more time just being *happy*, and surround myself with positive energetic people.
