Marline (above) & Me (below) at the site of the 1976 Summer Olympics
Thursday after my last day of work for the next 3 weeks my friend Marline and I took off to Montreal for an overnight trip. We took the opportunity to celebrate the opening of the London Summer Olympics in our own little way.... we visited the site of the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal. We thought we were both definately Gold Medal material!
Spring Mandala - Seasonal Mandalas
c2011 Ink Circles
Stitched on 40ct linen with DMC
Gorgeous colours
Today being my second day on holidays I settled in for some not-so-productive stitching. You know when you sit there and just poke away at your stitching? That was me, I knew I'd have a happy dance, and usually that excites me and gets me focused and stitching ... faster! Not today! But eventually I did get there, I got the HD!
Winter & Spring on the same piece of fabric
I am now officially half done Ink Circles Seasonal Mandalas, only Summer and Fall left to stitch up. I start Summer soonish.

Having three weeks off work sounds heavenly, Dani!
Love your mandala finishes. Great work.
Great pics of you Dani. You're a gold medal winner in my book!!! And good job on getting the finish. I usually get excited about them too, but my last one was the same way. I was poking along, almost praying for each stitch to be my last, lol.
Congrats on your finish!
Great work on your happy dance
The mandalas look great. Congrats on the finish. Definitely gold medal material :)
Loved your photos of you and your friend:))) Way Cool! Spring Mandala ROCKS! Very pretty.
love Annette
Congratulation s on your finish xxx
What a nice idea to visit the Montreal Olympic stadium. Love your Spring Mandala finish - Winter and Spring looks so good together.
I'm happy-dancing with you. The mandalas looks just gorgeous.
Enjoy your three-weeks holiday!
Well I think you are both great gold medallist's lol. I'm thoroughly enjoying watching them here and they are in the same time zone so I get to see lots of it during daylight hours lol. Well done on the finish, the colours are just gorgeous and both pieces together are going to look great. I can't remember if you said you were doing all four on the one piece of fabric ? Enjoy your holidays.
Oh Dani! They are just beautiful! Well done. I just love that you said soonish. Good for you. Relax and enjoy your time off. :)
The two Mandalas look awesome together!
Well done,Dani!

Your Mandelas look wonderful Dani!
I've been poking at my stitching all week. I just haven't been able to settle at all. We're leaving on holidays shortly so I don't imagine I'll have much stitching to show for the next while.
What a great idea visiting where an Olympics was held before. Congrats on the finish.
You AND your beautiful stitching are both gold medal worthy, Dani!!
Enjoy your remaining vacation days :)
Your stunning camera skills would certainly be god medal winners Dani.
Congrats on a super finish.
Bet you didn't have any traffic problems either LOL.
I love these mandalas and I'm looking forward to the next two.
congrats on the HD!

Congrats on your finish. I get excited when I get close, too, but I don't think I stitch any faster... LOL... I still just poke along.
Congrats on your finish! Looks great, lovely colors
Big happy dance for you! I hear some music in the background :D Lovely finish Dani!! So cute that the two of you went to the 1976 Montreal site to celebrate the Olympics!!

You are most definitely gold medal material!! What a fun way to celebrate the start of the Olympics. Love your Ink Circles finish! I can't imagine ever stitching on 40ct though.... Such tiny stitches!! :)
