Memorial Day

The weather couldn't have been better this weekend and my hubby got out his grill to christen the unofficial start of the summer with his trusted Weber grill. However, the grill had seen better days and one of the legs rusted through.
Would that stop him? NO WAY! He is a man of many talents and grilling is just one!
Out came the cinder blocks...

Then came more cinder blocks... (The dog looks worried, but I wasn't...)

And Voila! He fashioned us a little BBQ grill that was able to make us a wonderful meal.


He made 5 ears of corn, 5 potatoes, two squash, a whole chicken, one large vidalia onion and when the veggies were done, he did four shish ka bobs to boot!
I told you the Man can grill!
I hope you all had a fantastic weekend and for those who are remembering lost soldiers, my heart is with you.

Busy, Busy....

I was going to title this post WIP Wednesday, but since it's now Friday, I didn't think that would be a good idea...
The sun is finally out, so I was able to take pix of the new beads and such that I will be posting soon...
Glad the mud is dried up, since after five minutes outside, Samantha looked liked this:

My creativity has been slumping, but I have been workijng on a few projects...
This one is a commission piece that was a Mill Hill purse kit, but she wants it in different colors.  I haven't cross stitched in awhile, so it's been a nice change.  I've already started the beading part, so as soon as I get a bit further, I will take another picture.

This is for a customer that had these amber beads on another necklace, but decided to use her gold chain and have it re-done.  It's been a bit nerve wracking cutting her chain, but this is where we are so far.  We may take off the turquoise though....

Last, but not least, is a cuff I've been trying to finish up, but it's been fighting me....

Hope you all enjoy the weekend!
