My week in review or what I did instead of housework.

I usually don't write much about my life outside of stitchville, but I like to hear about yours and thought I'd take a chance you might be interested here. It's been a busy week and I didn't get much stitching in, regrettably. The third week of every month is always the most hectic. Monday began with my volunteer duties with Hospice. Then that evening I enjoyed attending Colorado Columbine Chapter, ANG. It's a great group and they held a great program entitled Colorado Collage. As beautiful as it is, I couldn't participate as I have enough on my needlework plate as it is. But I enjoyed seeing my friends and catching up a bit. I will be taking over the responsibility of newsletter editor. This should be fun once I get the hang of it.

Tuesday, I went to Little London Stitcher Chapter, ANG meeting in Colorado Springs. We had open stitching so I worked on last year's major WIP, the rooster. Wednesday, Hospice again and I attended the Board meeting for Colorado Chapter, EGA where I'm Outreach Chair; a role with fewer responsibilities than most, but still a worthwhile undertaking as we have monthly collections of needed items and distribute them to local shelters.

Thursday I attended Mile High Chapter, ANG and wore my new name tag. I also took Geisha Kitty's and Red Kitty for Show and Share. I received many nice compliments which I am totally grateful for. Thank you! Our program was fabulous, a lecture by Caela Conn Tyler on Canvas Embellishment. I was able to visit with many of my stitchy friends which is always a treat. Also, I gained much inspiration from seeing the finished and in-progress works by everyone.

Today, was busy, but fun. Went to the movies, stopped by Starbucks, then strolled around Tuesday Mornings (never know what treasure you might find, this time I was skunked!) and finished off the day at Cheesecake Factory for a yummy chicken dish. No cheesecake. :( I also goofed around online catching up with email and surfing around all my favorite blogs! Blogs are so much fun to read and write! Thanks for letting me recap my week; it was a good week, but I'm glad it's behind me now. BTW, I'm still waiting for my BBB project. I called to check on it to see if it had come back from the finishers, the conversation went like this. Me: "Hello, I'm calling to check on a piece I left for finishing several weeks ago." Response: "Did we call you to tell you it's ready? Because if we didn't call you it's not ready". Okay, snotty, can you at least check on it? I wanted to say, but didn't get a chance. I'm laughing at this now, but when it happened.....not so much. I'm sure it will be back soon, maybe next week I'm hoping. Can't wait to share it with you then.

Well take care all, have a safe and fun 3-day weekend. I'll be stitching up a storm. What's new with you? And if you're a Veteran, thank you!
