Yesterday I got a wonderful surprise in the mail! I had won a giveaway on Staci's blog, a fantastic pair of scissors! They will certainly get put to good use!
I've been working on Celestial Dragon when I can and I'm now backstitching (BSing) the knotwork in the last corner. Hopefully tomorrow I can move onto the last Chinese character : Virtue. I was asked what was the last character I finished, and that was Wisdom. I can't believe I'm almost done the border and can't wait to move onto the dragon!
This Saturday the Cataraqui Guild in Kingston is having a merchant's market! I'll be there on Saturday helping out at the Knowledge and Needles booth . So if you're in the area stop by (starting at 10am), say hi and buy some stash! There will be all kinds of fiberarts vendors there, they also provide a very nice lunch for the price of admission. The merchant market is being held at : Crossroads Church, 690 Sir John A., Kingston, Ontario. I'm also looking forward to getting together with Christin, Rebecca and Bonnie and I'm sure I'll see some more of my stitching friends as well!
Another exciting stitching event coming up is next weekend (May 7/8/9) is a weekend of stitching at my place! The stitching starts Friday evening and goes through to Sunday ... I know, not the best weekend as Sunday is Mother's Day but I didn't pay attention to that when the invite went out, and Todd is off fishing as its opening weekend! The ideal weekend to have wayyy too much estrogen in this house! So this is an open invite, get in touch if you're in the Valley and would like to come and stitch!
Congratulations on the pair of scissors!!

Celestial Dragon is looking wonderful. I hope that you have a great time next weekend with your stitching buddies. Love the family photos, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Dani,
ReplyDeleteOh shucks!! Wish I could join you
for your weekend of stitching.
Unfortunately my Mother would be
a tad peeved if I didn't visit her
on Mother's Day. Besides, we're
going to the Mother's Day brunch
at the residence where she lives
on Mother's Day and the food is
always awesome. Don't tell Weight
Watchers.
Your Celestial Dragon is looking
fabulous. Doing back stitching
can be tedious but it sure makes
the design POP!! The gold border
and the blue symbols look so good
together.
Got lots of walking done in the
past few days. The weather has
been perfect for it. I'm really
getting to know Georgetown and
all it's neighborhoods that way.
Hope that you had fun at the Cataraqui Guild's merchant market
this weekend.
Looking forward to hearing about your stitchers weekend and perhaps seeing pictures of it too.
Cheers! Have a great week!!
Congrats on the win! Love the stitchy progress.
ReplyDeleteWow! I can see how much work you have put into this piece! It looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the win! :o)
