Wedding Row - Bent Creek
Monday I'll be packing up my stuff and my stitching and heading back up to Georgian Bay to visit Sheila. She hosted our June get together, this time I'm going for a visit just her and I! So I'm looking forward to lots of stitching, relaxing, some nice walks/runs, and time out on the water.
My second week, it looks like I'll be spending a couple of days with my Mum in Quebec City. After having a small taste of it back in 2000 I knew I wanted to go back. Quite a few of my friends and family have been recently and its helped us narrow down this year's destination fairly easily.
Where I've had the time this week I have been working away on Celestial Dragon, its still not done! I spent Saturday and Sunday finishing up the backstitching of the dragon, the scales on the dragon, and couching gold braid on the border. I'm now working on the backstitch netting, I've almost completed all the purple netting but there's still blue netting to go in and a LOT of beads! There's a lot of stuff to do tomorrow, so I'll try to get in as much stitching as possible but probably not as much as I'd like!
