Ahhh, the quiet

It was one year ago this month (June 2005) that I was being blasted by my neighbor. It took one year but now they are gone. They have moved on to bug other people and left me peace and quiet. Those huge speakers, amplifiers and surround sound are gone!! My friends say, "What if the new neighbor is noisey?" I tell them that there couldn't be another neighbor as obnoxious as them. I think I know what did it. They were fighting a lot before they moved. I think they split up (unmarried).

I have been working on my new project: Lily of the Valley by Drawn Thread.

Finished my Perennial Border

I finished! Time for a happy dance. It was such fun! I love working with WDW thread. The colors are stunning. On to my next project!

Cross Stitching is my saving grace

I'm still here -- are you still there? I can't help but wonder if anyone is interested in reading my blog after being away for so long. I just couldn't post for awhile what with all that was happening in my life. Then things got pretty hectic at work. I almost walked out twice in the past month. Ever been put in a situation in your life where you know that you're heading in a particular direction and you're not ready for it? You keep wishing you could put the brakes on. It's more like being in an elevator that's crashing and there aren't any brakes. What with work and my mother and my living arrangements. I didn't want to move because I didn't want to put my aging cat through it and look what happened! I didn't want to sell my condo with a noisey neighbor next door and guess what? My neighbor has unexpectedly moved out!! Now my mother is getting worse and my job is hell. I am being pushed into a new life and I'm not ready to move on.

But my saving grace has been my cross stitch! Isn't that what saves us all?!!! You have the world falling apart around you but you have this oasis of peace and serenity in an easy chair and a good lamp. I have almost finished Perennial Border. I will post a picture as soon as I am done.

For all those who have stuck by me THANK YOU!
