ACK! Well, the way I figure it, I'm batting .500 on the 
shorter, more frequent Nutsletter communications front. 
Shorter? Yes. (Yay, me.) More frequent? Um...no. (Boo, me.) 

My excuse: It's summer. 

This sort of happened last year, too, and I'm inclined to 
just accept it. Though I no longer work in the tourism 
industry (not formally, anyway), I continue to live a 
seasonal life. I spend A LOT of time in the garden. It's 
not just recreation: I'm growing and processing food to eat 
throughout the winter. I LOVE doing this.  

In addition, for the next couple of weeks, and again later 
in the summer, we'll have visitors, so we'll be out and 
about, enjoying the great scenery, wildlife, and adventures 
that Alaska has to offer.  

My time on the computer is greatly reduced. I am squeezing 
in some stitching, though! 

All that said, I did manage to post a long-awaited stitching 
tutorial. It's a great technique for summer: 

* It can generate tiny--read: easily portable--projects, 
perfect for toting to the pool, ball diamond, or on 
vacation. 

* Natural light is helpful in executing this technique. 

Check it out.

The only promise I'll make at this point is I'll see you 
next time! 

Smiles and stitches,

Jen

P.S. - Want to see what else has been occupying my time 
lately? It has nothing to do with embroidery.
