They Grow Up So Fast

I don't know where the time has gone. This morning I went to register Z for kindergarten! How did he get old enough for kindergarten? Yikes! Not only is M a fourth grader, who will be in fifth soon enough, but now my "baby" will be getting on the school bus along with him, waving good-bye to me as he goes off to school to learn the three R's (and a whole lot more!). Some tell me that I will be "a lady of leisure" now that both of the little munchkins are in school, but I don't know about that. I find plenty to do around the house. And just think of the extra stitching time I will be able to have! Well, maybe it's not so bad that he's old enough to go to school.

I finished the panda that I was making for Z as well. It was a small project, but I didn't stitch very much last week. I guess it was just one of those weeks where I could not get my act together and get the needle on my hand. Anyway, here is the little guy all finished up:

It's too bad that I told Z I would make it for him, because he would great on my wall!

I think that the next projects will be "Not Tonight Dear" by Sue Hillis and "Chocolate Awareness". I posted both of these along with the fabric and floss colors that I have picked out for them. The Sue Hillis design has been calling me lately so I'm looking forward to starting it. If I'm lucky I'll get in a few stitches before I make dinner tonight.

Since I finished a project for Z, you know that M wants something special, too. I'm sure that anyone reading this blog who has school aged kids knows how important video games are to them. M has an XBox 360 and I really think he's addicted to it. Someone on the SanMan Originals Message Board posted this finished. I asked here where she got the design because as soon as I saw it, I thought of M and she gave me this site:

So, this design is moving up on the list of things to stitch, too. At least everything that I want to work on are all small designs, so I don't feel so bad starting all three of them at once. I find that if I have too many things going at once I get overwhelmed with works in progress. So, for me at least, it's better to only have a couple of things going at a time.
