Yeah, I have stitched the first cross stitches again, after a very long time. It's for the first PIF-member, so I can't show you any picture. But it's almost done, and then I have to finish finish it.
That's why I want to share a couple of pictures of our holiday to Crete - Greece this year: (click on picture to enlarge)
What beautiful pictures, Karen. The blue sky and water are just gorgeous and that sunset, wow! BTW, you know I think your kiddies are darling but uh, so is that good looking hubby!
You have such a lovely family, Carin! And they look like they are having a fun, relaxing time together. Such a great thing for the soul, relaxing family time, in a place away from home.
I am so glad to see you back blogging, have been a bit worried about you!
