Its the middle of the week, I know, I know and I'm finally sharing my weekend stitching progress. I managed to have a fairly quiet and low key weekend (I know rare for this girl). I took advantage of having some time to stitch and time to just rest! So let's get down to business!
I worked on several projects this weekend.
I spent the majority of my waking time working on Art Deco Spirits, I've finally gotten through those huge blocks of white, black and grey. Of course I've moved onto more grey.
I gave Enchantment of Winter a little bit of attention as well. I got a little tired of counting around and putting in gold confetti here and there so I pulled out the lovely purple silk and worked with that instead.
I also had a travel project, it really wasn't moving very quickly and didn't look like much until after a little needle time this weekend. This is a class piece from the Creativ Festival given by Jennifer Aikman-Smith of Dragon Dreams when I last went a few years ago. I'll give you more details on my next post, right now I'm too lazy to get up and go get it! I have way too many class pieces waiting to be stitched up. But then who doesn't have a lot of projects waiting to be started?
Now how about a retro photo hunt? This is from the end of August 2009, "Surprise"
In March of this year my friend Ann turned 60 and with my help and that of a few others her husband was able to throw her a fantastic surprise party! Ann was shocked and overjoyed when she saw that her family had made the 3 hour drive to be there too! Ann's reaction was the BEST surprise party reaction I have ever witnessed! Here she is with one of her brothers.
My run is coming up father than I thought it ever would now, its this Sunday! I am very proud to say I have surpassed my fundraising goal this year! My total is over $1100.00 all going to Breast Cancer research! Thank you to many of you fantastic readers who have made online donations! There is still plenty of time to make a donation if you wish!
