First and foremost comes the stitching news -- here's the current progress on the monkeys for my friend. I best get it done, too... I've discovered that her shower is on September 18, so it needs to be ready to roll! They're coming along, taking shape. I had to do some major unstitching the other night when I wasn't paying attention and accidentally added an extra small row of seven whole stitches. Amazing how bad a little mistake can throw you off like that. All is in order now! Hoping to finish my current color tonight (DMC 435) during America's Got Talent.
Which brings me to my next topic: my favorite summer show, America's Got Talent. Tonight is the big wild card show. SO excited to see Seth Grabel (magician) have another chance and hope he gets through this time! Sending out some good vibes for the Summerwind Skippers, too.
Saturday we got home from a wonderful vacation to sunny Florida. We spent a few days at the beach and then went on to Orlando and soaked up the sunshine (and some rain) at Sea World and Disney. We had two days at each, one extremely hot and one rainy at each park. Everyone had a blast, and my littlest, not even 8 months old yet, was so good riding around in the heat in a stroller for the better part of a day. On our last day at Disney, we were at Disney Hollywood Studios where I experienced the scariest ride of my life: the Twilight Zone's Tower of Terror. Literally thought I was gonna die lol...
Here's the view that we saw as this horrible invention launched us up an elevator chute and then let us drop again before doing it again and again. I'm still not sure how I managed to get a photo. I imagine I gripped my camera in fear and accidentally hit the button haha... what you don't see is me screaming like a banshee. In all seriousness, it was like an elevator shaft inside what was supposed to be an old abandoned motel. The elevator doors at the height of this shaft in the Tower of Terror would open, so all you could see was this and it made it feel like you were launched out of the ceiling... I've never been so scared. Would I do it again? Yep! haha
Me with my darling kids and Mickey Mouse from Fantasia! My daughter was overjoyed to finally meet Mickey. This was towards the end of the day, our last day at Disney. She ran right up to him and gave him a huge hug.
Next is the ornies I received back from my partners in our Christmas in July exchange. They'll look lovely on our tree this year!
Last, but not least, we made an offer on a house today. Our littlest was a surprise to us, so we've been getting tighter and tighter in our current home. The one we found is just on the edge of our small town and gives us a country feel and has a huge yard for the kids to play in. Keep your fingers crossed for us, please!
That's all for now -- happy stitchin' everyone!
