Stichy update

I decided to pull out my very long neglected Papillon "Castles in the Air" SAL this past weekend.  I haven't worked on this in months and months - probably since before summer.  The frogs had come to visit the last time I worked on it and I put it away in extreme frustration.  Enough time had sufficiently passed, that I decided to pull it out again.  I figured I'd work on it all weekend AND Monday since I had the day off for MLK Day and my kids didn't.  Here in Wisconsin not all school give the day off.

Anywho, Saturday ended up pretty much being a wash for stitching as my daughter and grand-daughter came in to spend the day with us.  They live just about 5 miles away out in the country, and dd had been sick and really needed some adult time.  I had told her last week I really needed a Saturday to just clean the house and get some things done as we'd had Emma for the last 3 weekends for various reasons, but I sucked it up and told her to come on in to town.

Then yesterday, the schools had early release because of snow coming down pretty hard and blowing and drifting.  Being a small town, we have a lot of rural bus routes and the roads were starting to get bad by noon, so my day of stitching was cut short.

I did, however, get to watch 3 episodes of "Bones" on Netflix and between the scattered stitching I did over the weekend, managed to finish Part 2 of the SAL - like I said, I'm WAY behind! LOL  I also started part 3 last night after supper and will be able to stitching during Biggest Loser tonight, so hoping to get a good bit in.

Here are my before and afters
