A Couple Hours to Unwind

This is a busy time of year for me...it is for most designers in the needlework industry - the TNNA Summer NeedleArts Market is just around the corner (June) and I am busy getting three new designs ready for release. This morning brought me a bit of relief...sometimes I just need a break to bring me back into focus. I had to take Simba (my Shih Tzu) to the groomer - and that gave me a couple hours to unwind. I made a trip up north to Ames to the Quilting Connection to pick up a couple new presser feet for my sewing machine and some embroidery threads (plus I got to check out some new items from the quilt market last weekend - always a treat!). I even had time to run a couple errands before it was time to pick up my "little king"....then it was off to the framer to pick up "Americana Panorama" (a new design for June). This afternoon will bring as much stitching as I can fit in before an EGA Chapter meeting this evening. Always remember to take a little time for yourself...and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you...
