One Nation and an Engagement

I've not been around much lately. Life has gotten in the way again. Nothing serious - just stress. I'm sure you've all been there!

Thought I might show a quick update on One Nation -


It's kinda hard to show the whole thing! As soon as I get those red lines in above and below the states done - I will finally have one whole stripe complete! lol It's easy stitching, but man, oh man, there's a lot of it! ;0)

And on another front - this is what happened here at home Saturday!


Yep, that's a diamond ring and a man on one knee. DD got her ring. In case you are wondering when the wedding is - don't hold your breath! She still has health insurance through my employer and until she/they have good insurance - no wedding. She's got another 5 years on my insurance. This wedding could be far far away.

It's time for a nap - have been up since 2:30am and I'm ready -
TTFN -

Oh how lovely, some happy news for your family, I know you've been through it recently so something nice to look forward to even if it is 5 years away!!!
Good luck with the new stitch, I always admire stitchers who tackle something sooooo big but they are so worth it when they're complete.
Have a good week with lots of rest and stitching xxx
