Stitching, Camping and Beading

Water Wonders Pools & Spas

We are still busy with pools and spas, doing a lot of service work, replacing equipment and such. But this was a first for us, a liner replacement caused by a bullet hole. First picture is the old liner.New Liner

Cross Stitching

Finished my silly chickens.
They go in a soap dispenser. After it was all done and filled with soap, I found out that it doesn't work! I have had it so long, I don't remember where I bought it at.

Camping


Went camping Friday and Saturday night. Saturday there was about 50 people that floated the river, but I didn't get to go. I had to go to work, Boo-Woo! This is a picture of Rick's set up. You never know what he will be camping in.

My Week...

It was one HOT week here in Northern Indiana. I did get to the beach one day for about 2 hours and I took my two person float, everyone wanted to know where I got it at. It was great, it is so big I can lay on it anyway I want.

Well, I think that was pretty much my week, hope you had a good one.

Wonderful beading :) What a shame that the soap dispenser didn't work though - hope you can find some other use for the stitching.
