Thanks and One More Patriotic Finish

Thank you SO much for birthday wishes!! I really appreciate them all! We had a nice weekend - went to dinner and saw Eclipse for our 11 year anniversary (I know my husband must really love me ;-), worked in the backyard, b-b-qued with family and generally just had a fantastic, productive family weekend.

On the stitching front...I had stitched this pattern for my son's teacher but had to make one for our home as well. I put the last stitch in on the morning of the 4th but just got it finished into a little hanging pillow last night.

And, here is a picture of the wall/patio area that my husband has been working SO diligently on. This is straight off the back of our house. I plan on putting our outdoor table/chairs here when it's finished and we'll get so much use of this new area. It will be filled with pea gravel and then blue stone pavers. When the pavers happen will depend on where we are in the budget - we may just have a gravel "patio" for a while. Behind the wall will be all grass.

So, that's it for today. I temp at a law firm occassionally so I'm off to work in a little bit. Have a great day and thanks again for visiting!!!
