Sorry fair readers, its been awhile and my blog is woefully out of date! Its been a challenge to sit down and find the time to update what's been going on in my little stitching world. That or all I've wanted to do is sit and stitch.

Last year we had our first every stitchy weekend up in Georgian Bay, prime Ontario cottage country. Sheila, our hostess has a home and a cottage on a beautiful piece of waterfront and last year invited a group of us up for a stitching weekend. We all fell in love with her home and her view and all easily agreed that we should do it again the next year. I had been looking forward to Sheila's weekend for some time now and I wasn't disappointed! Well worth the 6-7 hour drive!

In attendance at various points of the weekend were of course our hostess Sheila,
Kathy,
Beatrice,
Christin,
Bonnie,
Rebbecca, Sylvia, Clare, Barb,
Ann, and myself. Our numbers were a little smaller than last year.

| Christin Stitching in the Warm Sunshine.... getting a little red???? |
The weather was better this year than last, it was a little warmer and we did have one sunny warm day where both Christin and I got a little too much sun! It was glorious to sit out in the sun and stitch with a front row seat to nature's beauty! It was also nice enough that weekend for me to get out and run twice, one run was 10K and the other 6K, it was so lovely to run a different rout. Saturday morning I was out early enough that I managed to startle a doe at the side of the road. She ran off ahead of me, there was no chance of me even keeping up with her!

I spent the weekend trying to avoid the wonderful food we had all bought along, of course our motto is: Stitch, Eat, Sleep (exactly in that order). I spent the weekend focusing on Enchantment of Winter, and a little bit of time on The Accolade as well. I'll have stitchy updates in another post soon.
I think I'm just going to let the pictures do the talking!
