The weekend started off on Friday evening with Christin, Bonnie and Rebbecca coming out to stay until Sunday afternoon. On Saturday we were joined by Kathy, Beatrice, Lynn and Amy (no blog). We had a wonderful day full of stitching and laughter. Thanks for coming out girls, you made it a special day!

Beatrice - We had lost of great laughs
Christin being productive
Kathy showing the camera her thin side (Rebbecca and Bonnie having a good laugh at this)
My friend Amy, she's a casual stitcher... I'm working on trying to change that LOL. We had a good laugh when we discovered that the piece she's working on is the one that Rebbecca JUST finished! Its a small world!
We had an opportunity to celebrate Lynn's retirement earlier last week! Lucky girl!
I decided that it wasn't a good idea to work on Enchantment of Winter, there was going to be 7 fantastic distractions in my living room that day! So I decided to start my ornament for May which I finally finished up tonight. It turned out a little bigger than I normally like for an ornament but I'm declaring it one none the less!

Of course Zeus was super cute all weekend long! I think Zeus was the most photographed this past weekend! I got a little surprise at the vet on Thursday. I took him into the Vet for the third time, for his 2nd vaccine this time we saw a different vet at the practice. Upon much closer inspection she declared Zeus a GIRL! We've decided we won't be changing names. I couldn't do anything but laugh over this!
Whoops, lol. I wouldn't change her name either. She's used to it, and to change it would only confuse her!! I'm glad you had a fun stitchy get together. I love getting together with my stitchy buds!!
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful time Dani. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing off my "thin" side.
Awww Zeus is a beautiful girl LOL
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a great time
Zeus is definitely super cute.
ReplyDeleteI hear you all had a wonderful time with your get together - I am happy you did -
Lynn looks to be enjoying her retirement ;)
I have some larger ornaments on me tree at Christmas - Just hang it toward the bottom where the tree is larger - it should work perfectly !!!
Take Care,
Reading about your get together energises me!! All your girls are all smiles... Zeus looks to be thinking if he should bring out another bye bye post!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteZeus is adorable, and I'm sure she doesn't care if her name is a bit (lot) masculine
Looks like a wonderful time was had by all. Zeus is a really cute little girl.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great time you must have had - and lol on Zeus :-) She's a cutie!
ReplyDeleteGreat stitching weekend! lol about Zeus. My Boddinton's mother was called Richard.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect weekend, friends, laughter and stitching!
ReplyDeleteZeus looks so bothered over the masculine name - NOT!
Sounds like you had a fantastic weekend Dani!
ReplyDeleteAwww how cute Zeus looks. I doubt she'll be bothered by her name:)

ReplyDeleteThanks Dani for the fantastic time I had on Saturday. I only wish I could have stayed longer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting and for sharing in my retirement celebration.
Hope we can do it again soon!
You do seem to enjoy some of the very best stitching gatherings ... at home or on the road ...and there do seem to be so many of them. I'd be envious but I am soon to have my annual stitching treat in early July, the Stitcher's Hideway in Sturbridge.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time! Thanks for letting us share in a bit of the fun. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you all had a great time, thanks for sharing your fun with us.
ReplyDeleteSounds like such a wonderful time! Cute little ornie!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great weekend with your stitching friends!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun weekend! Looks like you had a blast!
ReplyDeleteThat happened with my last kitten - fortunately only a day of being a boy, so it was easy to change from Munkustrap to Grizabella. (I had been watching the Cats musical)
Looks like you had a great weekend, would have loved to have been there. Zeus is so cute, a girl OMG!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you all had a ball at your stitchy weekend, you are very lucky to have so many stitching friends to share your hobby with! Poor Zeus, how confusing LOL, but looking at that cute face she's far too pretty to be a boy!
ReplyDeleteYou get together looked like so much fun. And boy or girl, Zeus is a cutie.
ReplyDeletelooks like it was a lovely time.
ReplyDeleteCute name for a boy or girl.
