Lost in the Plains
In case you missed me, I'm back! And if you didn't, I'm still back. LOL, LOLWork has been mind blowing these last few weeks, with a big finish by the end of this week. I will be glad when all that's left of this one is the paper dust. :D
In stitching news - I had to go out of town last week for 3 days so that slowed my progress down quite a lot. As a matter of fact it stalled it out. All the forward progress I had been making came to a grinding halt. BUT - I am getting back into the swing of things and am now working on block 1. :D And I got all the blocks outlined so that will save time as I go along. Right now it reminds me of an Advent calendar waiting for the days to be filled in. LOL
Here is the progress on block 1. It' s not much but it's a start! :D
I was hoping to have this completed by September, but I don't know if that will happen...it's wide open right now. :D
Speaking of wide open, the Tour de France blew me away last week. That come back by Floyd Landis on Thursday was awe inspiring. And I had to cheer him on cuz he just blew the competition away. :D I was glad to see him win, he worked so hard for it and with his upcoming hip replacement it's dicey whether he'll be able to race again. I don't know how someone who can't easily walk up a flight of stairs can ride 2000 miles in 3 weeks, but he did it. It's definately an inspiration for all the couch potatoes out there. ;) (Me included.)
Hope everyone is having a great week so far!

hi Kim,
the weather is do un-Dutch warm, I'm not stitching at the moment. it's because we're leaving for our holidays too... but I have made a kit for a new design to stitch.
we have watched the Tour de France too every day. Floyd did a great job, but we were watching Michael Boogerd or Menchov (Rabobank-team). They didn't win....
have a great time stitching all the houses. we'll be back in a few weeks.

Talk about a fantastic come from behind win for Floyd! He's native to my area, so I feel very proud. :)

I didn't follow the Tour, but the story you're telling here proves I'm wrong to boycott (well, I don't really do; I just scarcely watch TV) such events! Impressive and encouraging.
Your outlined project makes it even clearer: it's a huge -and rewarding task!!! I love it!
I'll email you back asap!
Lots of hugs, Kim!

Hey Kim, you may not think this blocking out of your piece is progress, but it is!!!! I started Village of Hawk Run Hollow as a SAL (the only way I can at least hope that it will ever get finished), and I can't even bring myself to stitch the outline of the first block!
The Tour was amazing, wasn't it? Unfortunately, with all my deadlines, I didn't have time to watch a single stage, but I followed it closely. What do you think of this new scandal, though? I'm still not sure what to think or believe... Good luck at work and sorry for rambling!
