More framing back, and beach trip starts!

Hi all! These are the last two framed pieces back from my LNS for now. Bent Creek's The Branch is going in my kitchen, and I'm still looking for a good spot for Liz Turner Diehl's 17th Century Italian Garden to hang. I finished it late last year after a time in UFO neverland!

Now I'm in the final throes of packing for our beach vacation on the Outer Banks, way way out on the OBX in fact! (thank goodness my DMIL is pet sitting!) Sun, sand and a sea breeze for stitching on the deck I hope! No web access so unless we find a web hot spot I'll be out of touch with the world at large, but enjoing Mother Nature's most beautiful beachfront, and reconnecting with my side of the family....29 folks, 10 of which are teenagers! Wish me luck!

Besides some books, I'm taking my Dragon Feathers afghan to hem in the car, and 4 small new start projects. Hopefully I'll get a couple of them finished too. Have a great week and happy stitching!
