Wow, this update is long overdue! I bet you've been dying to hear how my stitching weekend went. Well it went VERY well! There were 8 of us in my little living room, chatting, stitching, and eating! I think my guests did far more stitching than I did, my mojo was... off. I just couldn't get into Celestial Dragon, perhaps it was the complexity of the design and a room full of company? Trying to work on CD came to an end when I dripped some tea on it! The horror! I was pushed by all the ladies to get it in a bath ASAP. So instead I pulled out Art Deco Spirits, which actually was a joy to work on, to the point that I didn't put it down until bedtime Sunday night!
Here's Art Deco Spirits when I put it away on Sunday
Hunter decided to steal the show on the weekend! He made a show of himself becoming best friends with Christin for the weekend.

Now you're wondering about the celeb part aren't you? Today at work we had a fantastic surprise for the grade 10 & 11 students!!! We've been having mental health awareness week at the school, we had an assembly where a young lady was talking about living with extreme OCD. After she was done speaking, a local celebrity came out to speak to the students as this is a cause close to his heart as his sister is affected by mental illness.... Daniel Alfredson, Captain of the Ottawa Senators!
Up until last night I've had NO time for stitching, but CD has been getting some of my attention! Here it is as of this entry tonight!
I've got a good weekend ahead (I'm ready for Friday, believe me!), my Mum and I are going to get our hair done (its about time too!) and out for dinner. A belated Mother's Day out for us. Sunday, I'm hoping to get out to see Ironman 2. Oh and there's sleep and stitching too! Lots of sleep!

Sounds like you had a fantastic weekend. Stitching looks gorgeous. Glad you had a good time with your DR friends.
Oh my! What a busy week. Sounds like a fun one though :-)
ADS and CD are both coming along. Enjoy your weekend x
Sounds like a busy week, you must be exhausted! Art Deco Spirits is looking good, and I can really start to see a dragon taking shape in CD now
Seems that you had a busy but exciting week/weekend.
Both WIP looks great. Have a wonderful weekend :D
Oh I can't wait to see the TWD every time I stop in. You know how I feel about any of them... It is coming along very quickly too. What a busy week and how nice to see DA stop by schools to inform students and put some awareness into their day. Funny how kids seem to hold on to information when it comes from someone in the public eye, especially from so close to home...
Be always in stitches.
It's nice to read your news - and your WIPs are just amazing!
Thanks again for the opportunity to get together and stitch with all of you. Wish I could have stayed the whole weekend!
I had no idea you had such a busy week ahead of you! Wish my Dan could have heard DA as well as the young lady speak at your school.
Hope the soaking got rid of your tea spots! Art Deco Spirit looks fantastic. It's good to see you stitching on that one again.
Looks like tons of fun this week. I don't see any tea stains so I guess the advice to wash them out quickly worked. That piece and the Art Deco both look great.
Have a great weekend!
Thanks again for a very fun weekend. Hope CD came out okay from the bath. You have put some work in it this week... I see blue?
Thanks for posting the pics of Alfie! What fun for the kids.
Wow you are a busy gal Dani. Your stitching weekend sounded fun . Nice for you to get together with the travellers. Your stitching is looking great. That is great that D.A came to your school .It really helps the students to become more aware. Have fun with your Mom
Your WIP's are lovely! It really seems like you have been busy lately!
Your weekend sounds like it was wonderful. And I sure can't see where you spilled tea on the dragon. The Deco Spirits is coming along nicely as well.

Sounds like you had a busy and fun week. It's great to see CD growing.
Glad to hear about your stitching weekend, Dani--sounds like fun! I can't work on complicated pieces when I'm stitching with others--I just get too distracted with the conversation and laughter...
Both of your WIPs are looking amazing :)
Oh I'm so glad the tea stain came out in the wash!!!Glad I pushed you on that a bit.
