I have a new progress pic of my Sioux Chief. Despite not stitching as much as I’d ideally like, I have been getting in enough time that I think I am making good progress – it’s hard having multiple hobbies!

This weekend we are off to Phoenix for about five days — I have a conference to attend and K&K get to come with. What in the world is there to do in Phoenix? Guess we’ll find out :-) Then, Memorial Day weekend we will be picking up the boys to bring them back with us to spend the next month with us! Whoo-hoo!

We actually did something fun today! We went to a Greek Food Festival today at one of the Greek churches in the area. I got to have Baklava. I LOVE Baklava. Shame I can only eat it a few times a year (that is one RICH pastry). I put some pictures up online on PictureTrail as they have this cool feature:

We had a nice time. It was good to get out and be about town. I expect we will be doing more of that this summer as we will have 3 of the 4 boys with us for two months. Watch out Memphis, here we come!

And, on a different note – I finally took the plunge – I made us a MySpace page. Really out of sheer curiosity to this huge social phenomenon. So, my fellow stitchers & genealogists — hit me up if you have a MySpace page too!

I really do have a problem.. why, oh why do I keep starting new projects! Yes – that means I started a new one. :-) Over the weekend, I started this Indian Sioux Chief by Julie Hasler. He is absolutely stunning.. I am loving seeing his face take shape and it is very realistic. So far I have put in around 15 hours I think and it actually stitches up fairly fast. I am doing it from Issue 3 of Cross Stitch Gold, but I also have the book that he appears in.

In non-stitching news, things have been quite busy for us. We’ve been travelling to see family, and this month will remain fairly busy so I may not post very often for awhile. But, as I have more stitching updates I will definitely be sharing them.
