But I can understand about the colours. Isn't it strange how tastes in colours can change over the years? But not necessarily so ... when I pull out one of the old Prairie Schooler charts I sometimes love the colours better than with their new charts. But it all depends on what we prefer. I'm looking forward to seeing what sampler you will stick with.Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922122091202289138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4971814362018159119.post-62453859399215308412012-05-16T06:26:24.876-07:002012-05-16T06:26:24.876-07:00Nice new starts :)

Brett came home this weekend and brought laundry since his laundry day is Sunday! At least he did it himself though. Carl painted the flower frog oil rubbed bronze. It looks nice! I have to have a post soon to show it off! Not buying the car in Rochester.

I'm sure it's always an adjustment when the college kids come home and have to live with their parents again! I had a layover in New Orleans once on my way to see Cari in Florida, so all I ever saw was the airport! Glad you enjoyed your time there!

This is the first time in 11 years I haven't had that. Do I miss it? Well, just a bit to be honest with you... I miss them more than their "stuff!"<br /><br />I'm surprised you've had any time to stitch, Deb, with your trip and your son coming home. Everything looks great! Good luck with that pile of laundry :)Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4971814362018159119.post-65208079276482173482012-05-11T12:30:54.355-07:002012-05-11T12:30:54.355-07:00Funny how you can have a room full of charts and U...Funny how you can have a room full of charts and UFO's and NOTHING appeals to you or you just can't seem to find that one thing you knew you had or you are sure you started 5 years ago. Sometimes I have the opposite problem - I start 5 things and love them all and don't focus on any one of them long enough to show any significant progress.(sigh) Just my SADD (stitchy ADD) problem I guess LOL. I've been to New Orleans a number of times both before and after Katrina - the after was not so good - they still had not restored the trolley line to the garden district when I was there several years ago - I hear it is restored now. Would love to go to a rug hooking camp they have there - maybe one of these years I'll get back over there. the trip I really regret is not going with my folks when they took the riverboat cruise down the Mississippi and stopped in Natchez and St Francesville and toured all those plantation homes. THAT is the trip I should have taken. Hope you have a great Mothers Day weekend and do just exactly what you want to do.
