Thursday morning I had everything, all packed up ready to go.
After work I had a little get together with the girls from the office, then I hit the road, here's my mileage (kilometers of course!) before I hit the road.
Along the way I pulled over for these wonderful critters that I sighted from the driver's seat.
Thursday night Kathy and I of course stitched! Hungry and I were also happy to hit the hay that night, after a day at work and 3 hours on the road.
Friday we hooked up with Beatrice and headed into Coburg to check out the artisans at the Riverfest. Unfortunately they asked no photographs so I have nothing exciting to show you from this little adventure. We had a fantastic lunch at a German restaurant, window shopped, and got back to the van just as the rain began. From Coburg, we headed over to Ann's for a visit and a little stitching. Our evening was spent... stitching of course!
As usual mother nature didn't disappoint at Kathy's!
Judie (of the Cows) was stitching
Saturday Beatrice came back out to Kathy's and we had lunch, stitched a little, then we did another little road trip. This time, into Bellville to hit Michaels, and Reid's Dairy for a yummy milk shake. Along the way back Kathy stopped on a back road so I could photograph the Snowbirds who were strutting their stuff at the Trenton Air Show. I took a lot of pictures, what I've got here are maybe 1/10th of what I took.
That night Kathy, Beatrice, and I stitched again, me on Todd's stocking (I'll share a picture of that with you tomorrow since I've got so much to show you tonight), Kathy was either working on scissor fobs or her Noddy piece. We did take a stitching break and here are Kathy and Beatrice making beaded scissor fobs after I gave them a brief lesson.
Sunday morning, there was no sleeping in ... we were up and at it, to get the house and food ready for the ladies to come over and stitch today!
Judie (of the Cows) was stitching
So was Marie-Paule
Beatrice and her sister Lisa were stitching too
Here's Lisa, Adrianna and Angie all settled in to stitch
Hungry and I were having a good time too!
Sadly, the fun had to end, and I drove back home... here's the damage to my odometer at the end of it all (over 500 Kms!).
So stay tuned for a project progress report and some lovely little gifties Kathy made for me!!!
