As the middle of the year rolls around, I thought it may be time for an update. If you've looked in, my plan was to put each stitching finish in one post, however, it had become difficult for editing, and for you viewers to see, I think. So here are the last two finishes in June.

When July 1 rolls around, I will have been retired for one year! The first couple of months it felt like I was playing hooky or forgot where I was supposed to be, but it has settled down and now it feels great to sit and stitch for as long as I like! People ask, are you ready to go back to work? Nope! Are you bored? Absolutely NOT.
In November my mom fell and broke some ribs. Since then her health has declined, and her sight has deteriorated (glaucoma) significantly, so I spend more time tending to her needs.
In January my DS left for Cambodia, and in March 2016, he and his lovely, sweet wife got married. What an adventure it was! I left February 25 and returned March 7.
It was a beautiful ceremony that will be remembered and celebrated for a lifetime!
