Yesterday 4 of us started new projects. I began that huge cross stitch vegetable wreath and I got our 3 littlest girls started on projects--1 on a pansy rug, 1 on a needlepoint sunflower, and 1 on a cross stitch butterfly. I hope they'll use these skills for relaxation in the future!
We were at Michael's yesterday and

, they had already put up the fall florals and were getting ready to set out the Halloween aisles! They said they'd even have a bit of Christmas stuff in a couple of weeks. The Halloween items weren't even the craft stuff that you have to work on ahead of time, they were just decorations!
