I Can Finally Take a Moment!

I can finally take a moment to myself!  The last few weeks have been filled with tournament ball for my older boys.  I am so proud of them!  They played, won and lost like champions!  Supporting and cheering for each other all the way.

My Middle Guy!

And the Older Guy!

And we can't forget the Little Guy for being there and supporting his brothers.

Oh, and you have to love the smile!  Three teeth gone in about two weeks!

 

The boys are done now until fall, then the craziness begins again.  Congratulations to my oldest!!  He tried out and was one of only 9 chosen to play on a 50/70 travel team in the fall.  We're so proud of you!  The middle brother will be playing on his travel team and/or fall ball with little league.  And the little brother will be playing fall ball for the little league.

So, we kicked off our real start of summer by heading to the beach at Cape Henelopen State Park in Delaware yesterday.  It was a wonderful family day.  The perfect mix of sun and clouds, sand and surf, dolphins swimming by and watching the boys just be boys.

I have some stitching to share as well.  It is time to reveal the pieces from the exchange I participated in.  It was a teatime/picnic theme.  Here is what I sent to Jane (I had to stitch her a bunny as she loves them!)

And look at this beauty and goodies I received from Fiona!

She also made the pins!  Aren't they great!

There was a pack of needles - one can never have enough on hand!

Three packs of Silkweaver fabrics and ten Victoria's Motto threads!! I have never used either of these before and can't wait to give them a try.  Love all the colors!

An adorable notepad - another item one can never have enough of! 

And a yummy recipe for chocolate cookies that my boys can't wait for me to try!

Thank you so much Fiona!  Your really spoiled me!!

I also stitched one of the strawberry pinkeeps for myself, along with this watermelon design for summer.  My husband wasn't sure about the green fabric, but it reminded me of the rind on a watermelon!  The strawberry pattern is from Cinnamon Hearts and the watermelon was a freebie from The Sampler Girl.

Here they are pictured with three pieces from a previous exchange.  The other pieces were stitched by Sarah. A bowl filled with summery colors!

That's about it for now.  I am trying to catch up on the Mystery Sampler and just signed up for the next exchange round with Lainey.  The link is for her exchange web site and you can see all the wonderful things from this last exchange.

I've gained some new followers recently too!  Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by and happy stitching!
