The kids and I spent some time camping...well, admittedly, we did some cheater-camping...we rent a small, rustic cabin at a favorite campground each year and enjoy a few days of rest and relaxation amongst the trees. We have a trailer and tents, etc, but it is just fine with me to resign myself to staying in the cabin. It is enough work loading everything up with the kids and making sure everyone has their stuff--then cooking for everyone while we are there. If I had to set up a tent and then take it down at the end of the trip in addition, well--I surely wouldn't go!
So, we went up for a few days and the only stitching I brought with me was my English paper piecing bag. It was GREAT. It felt so good to break out some diamonds and make a bit of progress while out in the woods. I am hoping I can keep my enthusiasm for making the diamonds...it is so easy to just tote my little bag around with me and crank a few out at a time.
I also found a bit of time to read a little bit on the porch in the mornings, while everyone else slept in. That was a treat!!
I hope that you are finding some time to stitch (and read, if that is something you love, like me) and enjoy what is left of the summer!!
Thanks for reading,
Michelle
