Taneya & Kalonji

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.
