Yay, this post is HAPPY! HAPPY! I've got two good things to share with you!
First of all at yesterday's weigh in I'm down 1.5lbs, the 1.5lbs I gained last week are gone! Now one more pound to get rid of and I'll be where I was at the start of June. Fingers crossed I've kick started my body back into loosing mode and I'll be able to loose my last 10lbs. I hope.
The other reason for Happy? Well this evening I was Happy Dancing! Blackstone Fantasy Garden is finished! I really enjoyed this piece, every moment was a joy, and I loved all the blackwork (well i did backstitch) involved too! I'll let the pictures tell the story!
Blackstone Fantasy Garden
c2006 Tracy Horner - Ink Circles
Stitched on : 28ct Opalescent Lugana
Stitched with : Carrie's Creation Threads
What's next on the agenda? Well I've got my two ornaments to stitch up for this month, so I'll get those done. Then I think I'm going to start working on Todd's Christmas stocking.
BFG is really, really lovely. Congratulations!
