Home Again

I'm back home again... actually I surprised Todd who was still in bed at 10am! Poor guy, he wasn't expecting me home until tonight, which is my usual habit when travelling. A BIG thanks for Chrisanne, for suggesting we go to Lift-Off and for housing me, feeding me and generally putting up with me!


I heard a few days ago that Sally received the little blogaversary gift I promised her a long time ago! Kudos to Canada Post for getting it to the UK in under a week. Now I wonder if the Fair & Square I sent out the same day made it to the US in just a timely a manner?


I made Sally this little fob using designs from Red Threads by Rosewood Manor



While back at home today (besides doing the laundry) I finished up the squares for round 8 of Fair & Square... way before the deadline! Yay! Of course I can't share yet!



This freed me up this evening to pull out Moonlight Guardian for the first time since February! The last time I worked on it I was putting the finishing touches on the border. Today I started the main part of the design. It almost felt like starting a new project! I'm looking forward to focusing on this piece!



Well I suppose I should go to bed, I do have to go to work tomorrow *sigh*

  11. Really cute fob :) And looks like you had a GREAT weekend! Does it cause any kind of problems if the balloons cross the border???

    Still no squares...I will admit that it annoys the heck outta me how long things take to hop the border!

  21. Hi Dani,

    Wow, Lift Off sounds like it was
    a blast. I would have liked to
    have seen Dennis DeYoung perform,
    and the U2 tribute band would have
    been fun too. And I remember
    seeing Glass Tiger at the Ontario
    Place forum, probably over 20 odd
    years ago now. Yikes! Where does
    the time go?

    Loved all the pictures you took
    of the balloons. They are such
    an incredible sight when they
    are in the air. DH says he'd
    go up in one, but I'm not sure
    if I could do it.

    Your Moonlight Guardian is
    really looking good, and now
    the real fun part is watching
    the castle and the dragon emerge
    from your needle.

    Cheers!
