I'm back and it has been a long April and May for me. Now with tax season over(I work for a CPA), college graduation, my daughter's birthday, Mother's Day, and life, I can stitch on a regular schedule again. Another of my hobbies is making greeting cards and that has came me busy in April and May. I am now back stitching on my 15 cross stitch pieces rotation and have even finished a few items.. Here are my pictures of the completed and WIPs since my last post.

My granddaughter went to her first high school prom. She is a very pretty young lady. Of my daughter and I had to get in a picture.
We celebrated my daughter's 45th birthday at a Crawfish Boil. What fun.
I was my great niece's stand in Grandmother at her Texas A&M College graduation. My sister, her grandmother passed away in 2010. My brother in law, her grandfather and of course her Mother, my niece. She is starting her new career June 1st with a marking firm in Dallas, TX. We are so excited for her.
OK, I am now up to today.
Soon you next week.
