I am still here, barely!

What a whirlwind life has been lately.  There is no need to bore you with all the details, but my biggest stress is still work.  I get home and have barely enough energy to cook and pick up the house, let alone to actually craft.  But I have been sneaking in a very special project, for a very special man in my life.  It was supposed to be his Father's day gift (after all he is a doggy dad to Mikey), but it is still far from finished.  He has seen it, so now I can post about it. 

This is one of our favorite pictures of Mikey (Matthews sweet, sweet dog), it was taken on the ride home from our first trip away together:

He was sitting in the backseat with his head on my shoulder, drooling all over me.  I don't know how, but Matthew took this picture while he was driving.  Anyhow, I decided to capture this image in embroidery!  Here is what I got so far:

The embroidery looks darker in the picture than it actually is.  I am liking it so far, we shall see how it turns out.  While I am working on this project it puts somethings into perspective... basically, I really can't complain about all this work stress, because I have to admit I am one lucky girl!  I have the most wonderful and very patient (all of the gifts that I have made him have been late) boyfriend, who has a fabulously sweet dog, I still have a job, my family, friends and I are all healthy.  What more could a girl ask for?
