Stitching By Myself

Friday after work I was supposed to pop down to Rebecca's place in my car to visit and stitch with her this weekend.  Unfortunately my car was making a rather unfriendly noise and Todd felt it wasn't best for me to make the 2 hour drive.  We think the bearing on the driver's side needs replacing, the car is going into the shop on Tuesday.  So I've been stitching by myself today.


Here's where Celestial Dragon was as of Friday night, I'll update you with my weekend progress Sunday night.


I did finish the bottom right corner during the week here's a close-up


Since I was home for the weekend Todd and I went to discover another trail, this time to the Malborough Forest.  The hour we spent hiking in there, I didn't come across anything scenic.  But I did come across an old rusted vehicle I thought was interesting.


The coolest thing,  was despite all the rust the handle for the trunk was still nice n' shiny!  Todd says it is made of real chrome.

  7. Don't you feel lost when you don't have your wheels?
    I'm looking forward to seeing your progress on CD. I'll be stitching along with you. I'm by myself all weekend and have lots of stitching time.

    Hope the car isn't a big problem. Bugger about missing stitching with your friend. :-(

    But, looks like you are making great progress.

  17. Great progress! My niece is into the Chinese sign for "Peace" and I have been debating stitching one up for her.

    Isn't it great finding old treasures while hiking/walking through woods? Love the pictures of that car and handle!!

  21. Hi Dani,

    So sorry to hear about your car
    woes which forced you to miss the
    gathering at Rebecca's this week-
    end. Hope the problem isn't too
    serious or expensive to fix.

    Your Celestial Dragon is looking
    great so far. The blue symbols
    really pop against the golds of
    the border.

    Sorry to hear you've been sick
    as well. There's something
    going through my department at
    work too, and I might have had
    a bit of it last weekend
    although it didn't actually
    develop into anything in the
    long run. I just felt punky and
    my voice was "rough" when I
    talked. I took that weekend off
    as well and didn't do any kind
    of exercise and made sure to get
    plenty of rest.

    Your new little friend Matilda
    is so cute. What a lovely little
    gift to receive all the way from
    England. She's so beautifully
    made too. Crochet?

    Cheers! Have a great week!
