I'm linking up to Super Mom Stitchery Link Party. Stop on over to see what lovely handmade pieces have been worked on this week.
Hubby's weekend was very eventful. We started getting rain Friday. It was just a miserable rain that wasn't going to let up. But he was able to get setup and was dry since we put up a canopy over our tent. We went to bed here at home and Izzy (our dog) woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me it was storming. I looked out the window and could hear the wind and pouring down rain. Mom woke me up Saturday morning and it sounded like we were getting a hurricane outside. The wind was blowing so hard when we opened the front door it took a lot of strength to get it shut. I heard reports of 55 to 62 mph wind gusts with 35 mph steady wind. Plus we had a river running through our yard which we have never seen so high. I think they said we got 4 inches of rain in a just a few hours. So Fred finally called and my worries were confirmed our tent had been destroyed. Luckily he was okay and other than our tent everything else was okay. So it could have been worse definitely. He was wet and cold so he packed up and came home. Not exactly how the weekend was supposed to go for him.
We are having friends over this weekend for a July 4th Camping event. Hopefully our yard will dry up a little bit or we might have to camp in boats. Plus I guess we will have to figure what we will be sleeping in. So wish me luck. I have a lot to do and a little time to do it in. Hope everyone has a great week!

Yikes! Sorry about your tent, but very glad Fred was okay. Great progress on Wave Dancer and I hope you have a great weekend!
Oh heck! Sorry about the tent getting destroyed--maybe you can find a gently used replacement--quick! Making great progress on Wave Dancer...
Sorry about the tent Katie. Please send some of that rain my way.

Thank you Jackie!
Thank you very much.
I wish I could Linda. We broke our June record. We ended up with over 14 inches this month. Crazy. Our yard squishes when you walk.
Sorry to hear about your tent but at least your husband was safe and that is the important thing! Love this project that you are working on .... the colours are beautiful! :) x
I would have so much fun in that lol I love the rain. Good luck getting everything set up!
Sorry to hear about your tent. At least everyone was safe. Your cross-stitching is moving along quickly. Very pretty.
Your sampler is really beautiful. Sorry to hear about the tent, but at least everything else survived and Fred wasn't harmed. Enjoy your camp out. I found out today that Friday is a work holiday... Woo Hoo! (Yes, I *know* I just came back from vacation)
Sorry about the tent, but glad that your husband is fine. We are waiting for the rains here. But only winds and no rain so far.
Beautiful progress. Glad to know nobody got hurt from the severe weather. Take care.
Glad to hear you all made it safely through the storms, even though the tent is ruined. I think you should have a stitching weekend - sounds much better than camping to me!
Sorry about the tent... but great stitching update :)
Lovely stitching and colours
Your work is gorgeous! What a camping event... I hope this weekend goes smoothly for you!
Glad your hubby is okay, Wave Dancer looks great.
Your Wave Dancer is going to be beautiful!!
So sorry to hear about your tent but thank goodness your hubby was okay! Hopefully things dried out enough for your 4th of July Camping party.
