Yay, this post is HAPPY! HAPPY! I've got two good things to share with you!
First of all at yesterday's weigh in I'm down 1.5lbs, the 1.5lbs I gained last week are gone! Now one more pound to get rid of and I'll be where I was at the start of June. Fingers crossed I've kick started my body back into loosing mode and I'll be able to loose my last 10lbs. I hope.
The other reason for Happy? Well this evening I was Happy Dancing! Blackstone Fantasy Garden is finished! I really enjoyed this piece, every moment was a joy, and I loved all the blackwork (well i did backstitch) involved too! I'll let the pictures tell the story!
Blackstone Fantasy Garden
c2006 Tracy Horner - Ink Circles
Stitched on : 28ct Opalescent Lugana
Stitched with : Carrie's Creation Threads
What's next on the agenda? Well I've got my two ornaments to stitch up for this month, so I'll get those done. Then I think I'm going to start working on Todd's Christmas stocking.

This is gorgeous! It's one that I wouldn't have thought to stitch for myself, but seeing yours makes me think hard about it.
What a beautiful finish! I am among those who didn't realize there were so many pretty colours, and also am thinking hard about putting it on my list!
Congrats on your weigh in too. It is nice to have your efforts count for something isn't it?

Wow! Congrats on so much good in one day. The BFG came out beautiful and the lost 1.5lbs probably lifted more weight from your shoulders than from your body. Glad for both. CJ ok;-)
