What's new????

I am finally finding the time to actually sit down and write an entry.... I have been off but the days just got in the way.... So first up is my meeting with Kathy A .We met about a week ago at my LNS Stitcher's Paradise and just had the most fun. Here is a picture of use in the shop Kathy definitely had some stash enhancement..... And she came bearing gifts ....so sweet.....my very first biscornu and I absolutely love it!!! The front of my biscornu and the back Along with chocolate which was delicious and a box of tea! It was so sweet of her. After the shop we went for an early dinner and there kept talking and sharing! It was so great to meet her and I hope we see each other again!

I am in the middle of 5 days off and am just enjoying the time ..of course when I go back it's for a 3 day stretch but these days are worth it! I am looking forward to seeing Margaret this week as she is visiting from the Netherlands! We are all excited at the shop! I am making my Grandma's Raisin Cake for the occasion !!!! The last time I made the cake it got rave reviews! It is so easy for me since I've been making it since I'm 10 or so ......

I spent yesterday working on HAED's Tower of Stoney Wood ..I only have the pre picture I feel like I got a lot done but it doesn't show it! I guess I'll be adding this to my weekly stitching and seeing more progress as I go....I joined a new SAL for Haed's called Our Friend's HAED SAL . Stop on by and take a look if you like!

Next I started Michelle Ink's Quaker Gone Tropic and here is my progress which is only about a week's worth of stitching!!!! This is a fun stitch! And luckily I didn't like Nora's "J" so I started Mdesigns "J" not much done in this picture but I have more done now When I did the "C" for Dh I made a major error that I was able to correct by not closing the box so this time I completed the box first.... I plan on doing the Celtic Heart and then framing them altogether . This is done on PTPlus DaVinci 32ct linen that Dh bought for me for a birthday about 2 years ago!

And last is Nora's Alphabet I am done with the letters and on to the feather.....

I have a few new starts coming up in the next few months which might seem like a lot but I feel it's about the process/journey and I am enjoying myself!!!! More in future posts.....

Well I did a Pilates Mat class today and paid the bills so it's an evening of stitching for me! Last thursday I made a big pot of pasta sauce and we have been enjoying that! So I'm off to get a huge cup of tea and stitch.

Ps I changed the look of my blog again....I just thought the other was way too pink even for me and I really love this one.....so it'll stay .....
I am grateful for days off and stitching.....

May your needle fly through your fabric.........
