My Summer Rollercoaster

2 Weddings in 3 days & a Finish...

Oh my golly this year has been a handful.  I am still trying to get back to my olde self.. I just feel like I got on some rollercoaster from hell and can't get off. A week after I got my staples out we were off to Durango Colorado (a trip my husband had planned for a year and would not let me out of). About a week after that Pip and I drove up to Washington to see my parents. A week after we got home from that, our oldest daughter got married!

Two days later, my middle daughter got married! School starts here on the 9th of August, so I am actually really looking forward to some quiet days. Would that be possible? I sure hope so. I don't have the energy I used to have, and feel honestly like I just want to sit and cry my eyes out for about a week, about what I don't know, and then maybe go to sleep until January of next year. I'm just worn OUT. 

I have been working on backorders in between all the happenings, painting aLOT, and on my lacquering days and evenings managed to get the center panel for the INSIDE of my short flat top casket finished. I dressed her like one of my dollys~she wears real pearls and real garnet jewels, and I am very proud to say, she has a head of my own hair. I am super pleased with how she came out. When things settle maybe ill post about her in more detail, or take a little video.

I hope you are finding time to get some stitching done & enjoying your days XOXOX
