Charlotte's Web

I tripped across this challenge blog titled Kiddie Lit. The challenge for this month is Charlotte's Web so you know I had to participate!

I like this idea but the implementation...whoa! I have used this stitching technique before but had to re-find the video since the website is not available (is it down permanently now? Hmm...). Here's a copy of the template she speaks of in the video too (another "re-find"). I wanted to incorporate the spider without making it creepy. I liked doing it up in the bling but I am not too sure about the results. Anyway, enough fussing...I'm outie!

Positive note of the day: Kids got to play lots with their friends today on the last day of summer va-cay. They were worn out! T and I went for a drive tonight (out in the convertible with the top down...we went to Petland [woo hoo!]). Even though he drives me nuts (with the phrase "What are we going to do now?"), I will miss him when he is gone all day now that he is in grade one!

Awesome. I've only done that kind of stitching once - I really like it. Have I mentioned that I like the new look of your blog? You are a super Mom. You do terrific things with your kids. Seems like once they get in school they're out of high school in the blink of an eye. Your kids are very blessed to have you as their Mom.
