I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed seeing all of your trip pictures. I love the mountains, too, and the Andes must have been spectacular. So hard to believe that creatures as cute as the penguins could come with such a smell - glad you weren't able to smell them. : ) Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807665680552691472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-5113242220009790972016-06-28T06:43:37.344-04:002016-06-28T06:43:37.344-04:00Your PS finish is truly beautiful and such a chang...Your PS finish is truly beautiful and such a change to visit here and see a larger project completed.<br />Great and stunning pictures of your energetic trip.

Wow! What a trip you had! To see such sites, such penguins, to be so adventurous -- wow! I admire you for taking such adventures on. Thanks for sharing too! As for worrying about your youngest. Of course! I would worry too! But he'll be fine, and he's enjoying himself too, I bet. China -- so exotic! I was only there once -- before a lot of the changes happened. I have no desire to go back. I'm not adventurous. lol!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03646028248366805686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-40851480568937957452016-06-25T11:51:57.068-04:002016-06-25T11:51:57.068-04:00Hi Carol.

It is kind of mind boggling to think of how far away you were, almost to the bottom of our earth. <br /><br />Your stitching is beautiful. Your prairie schooler piece turned out great. Also the gift for your friend is a beautiful finish!

Good grief Carol they are absolutely perfect! Uniform, tension thread is amazing, each stitch the same! Mine are tight, loose, twisted floss, a mishmash! Do you complete each stitch or use the sewing method on larger areas? I feel so inadequate. As for your adventure, good thing you are physically fit! A remarkable trip. And such a good looking family!marlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05252451302831115791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-74705409134587151022016-06-23T11:10:51.457-04:002016-06-23T11:10:51.457-04:00I love your PS finish, Carol.
