Family & Stitching

Today we celebrated Todd's Grandmother's 80th birthday.  We wrapped up the day with family photos... I really wish I had thought to bring my good camera.  I took my point and shoot with me, and boy can you tell from the quality of the pictures!!!

The whole family from Todd's Great Grandmother at the age of 97, to the youngest in the family, Liam who is 16 months.

Me, Todd, his Mom, Dad, Sister and partner Mark

Us "kids"

Me and Todd (its rare I can get him to take a picture)

Here's my Celestial Dragon progress at the end of the weekend, the end of the border is in sight!

    That's a great family get together! Tell Todd that he needs to get more pictures taken; he's quite good looking.

    Celestial Dragon is looking wonderful. I wish I could stitch as fast as you do.

  10. You have to have some spunk to get to 97. Wow, now that's inspiration if ever there was. Congratulations to the entire family.
    Be always in stitches.

  14. Isn't it nice when so many can gather together for family celebrations, Dani? I love seeing the different ages all connected by a common bond... Congratulations to Todd's Grandmother--80 is something to celebrate!

    Great job on your Celestial Dragon, too... it looks like a ton of work with so much backstitching, but it is really impressive :)

  26. Great to see pictures of you & Todd together.

    My favorite part of that dragon is the blue corners, what TW did with the shading of the blue is amazing.

  28. Wonderful progress. Isn't it amazing what a differenct the backstitching makes? I always find that so fascinating. I love the family pictures. It's not many families that range from 16 months to 97 years old. What a blessing! You look great!!
