How is it Wednesday already...

...and it's late afternoon on Wednesday to top it off. I have not gotten a handle on this week yet and it's half over. Sigh.

The weekend was a blur. We got a few chores done, but mostly we centered on family. The memorial for my father-in-law went well. Many friends and family members attended, including some from the East coast. There were tears and lots of laughter, just as it should be.

Needless to say, I did not take any new photos of my WIPs. I managed to get a little spinning done, but not much more than that. I had trouble concentrating on stitching, so I spent some time going through the kitted mermaids in my stash. I had trouble deciding which Mirabilia mermaid project should be next. I narrowed it down to these two:

• Renaissance Mermaid (MD151) - It's on the the Mirabilia site on page 2 of the Mermaids category. It's the first one on that page.
• Mermaids Of The Deep Blue (MD85) It's on the same page, but it's the last one.

While the design of the Renaissance Mermaid appeals to me, I have all of the materials for the second one ready to go. I'm only missing the floss for Renaissance. I just need to decide whether I should bite the bullet and buy the floss for it. Hmmm...
