Busy as a ...

Fill in the blank with your own word...I have been BUSY with a capital "B".  Lots of preparation for the upcoming trip, work, last minute embroidery and sewing projects.  Even though I took my Espire and Evolve to the shop for a tune up while we are away, I still have the EMP6 and other backups to keep me stitching.  We had a couple Guide Dog family pet dogs pass on this month and I embroider prayer flags in there honor.  I had some of Grady McCracken's tail fur to sew onto his flag when he died, and so when Amber died Cyndi brought me some of her "fuzz" to include on her flag...that was a challenge...let me tell you!  Darby was a no fur flag, so that was pretty straightforward.  I spent some time cleaning my sewing space, and although I know once we return it will be a total mess when I get the sweat shop back up to speed, it's sure nice to be in it doing light projects.  More packing, cleaning, getting Jo microchipped and taking my glasses back to the optical place because the lenses are about to pop out! I ran them up to the little optical place we use at work to see if it was an adjustment issue and they said they were not made right! Great!!! I ramble...anyway...this is how it will probably be for oh, the next month or so as I slip into grandmotherhood.  I plan to do some good old fashioned journal writing about the experience and you can bet there are beautiful baby pictures to come...more later...
