Projectum Interuptus

I'm part way through taking a few weeks off from the big project of replacing alllll the flooring upstairs and here are the reasons why:

1. I went to California to visit some beloveds!

2. We hosted Eric's friend, Tex, who joined him in attending MisCon.

Here is where a photo would've been nice, 

but I mistakenly assumed there would've been some from the event. 

3. I worked on some boring maintenance projects around the place like fussing with the hot tub, constantly wiping pine pollen off stuff, making hummingbird nectar, etc.

4. I made a little throw pillow to help break up the brownliness going on in the guest room since replacing the floor in there.

5. I started working on the refab of the screen doors.
    (post coming soon)

6. I did my first two cross stitch projects ever! They are going to be a part of a much bigger project around the house, so I think I'll save posting photos until I start talking about that.

Just before the very first stitch in to second project. That is a great-great auntie's embroidery hoop!

7. We'll be hosting the VME's most frequent guest, Juan, this weekend.
