Wow I am nowhere near as regular a blogger as I used to be!
Friday after work Christin and I hopped in my poor (now fixed) little car and drove down to Kingston where we stayed with her parents for the weekend (thanks for the bed Mom & Dad!). Saturday I was up early (for me!) and even shocked Christin's Dad by being up, showered and dressed before he was! I had to head into town to help
Ann out! The
Cataraqui Needlework Guild was hosting their annual market day where Ann was setting up her booth for Knowledge & Needles. It was a very busy day, and I was pretty tired by the end of it all!
Matilda got to go on her first road trip. During a quiet moment she got to play in the
flossie bin! Oh what fun and a
stitcher's dream!
Caleb, Rebecca's son having a little cuddle time with Matilda.
That evening we met up with
Rebecca and Bonnie to stitch for the evening. I kept plugging away on Celestial Dragon. Sunday after breakfast we went back out to Rebecca's and stitched some more! It was a great weekend. I wrapped up the weekend the best way, by finishing the border on Celestial Dragon on Sunday night.
The week has been a busy one and I've grabbed a few hours of stitching here and there, its been great to finally start the dragon on CD. Unfortunately I've delved back into the golds again, I am looking forward to hitting some of those greens and rich blues!
Looking forward to the weekend again, as usual! I'm having my stitching friends over and I can't wait! I'll be stitching with
Christin,
Rebecca,
Bonnie,
Kathy,
Beatrice,
Lynn, and Lori. Hopefully things will work out for Beth and she'll make it too!

Congratulations on finishing your border. Hope you have a lovely weekend.
Absolutely in love with your CD! I fear that I'm getting too old and impatient for more large TWs after the two I've made, so following yours is nice vicarious pleasure, lol. Congrats on finishing the border, it's just lovely.
The border looks grand ... but then all TW borders are exquisite. It sounds like you had a busy weekend, I read about it on the Knowledge and Needles blog as well. I am waiting to get back to my TW Autumn Faerie until after the crazy May times [Confirmations, First Communions, Finals, Progress reports & 2010-11 registrations ... too much for the first two weeks of just one month]
Congrats on finishing the border, i love it !A wonderful weekend and stitching time!
You go girl, CD is coming along very quickly for a TWD. It looks wonderful. Glad you had a great weekend and here's to looking forward to another stitchy weekend. Now really, is there any other kind of weekend?

Wow, finishing that border is such a great step forward. The rest will be peanuts, lol. No, not really of course, but it certainly gives you motivation to not have to care about the border any longer.
Congratulations on your win at:
