Yippee

This is pretty exciting for me!!
I reach my Goal weight today and now go on Maintenance for 6 weeks.

Even after that lovely retreat..I guess I WAS a good girl and watched my portions

Yippee!!!!!





My friend Christin has convinced me to work on the Nordic Angel that was in the very, very, very ,bottom of my stitching bag.

I just don't know how she ended up there....... Hmmmm maybe all of those starts got in the way.
Anyway she's back out and I put a lot of back stitching in her wings and sash.
She is back in rotation.

Have a great day and stitch with happy fingers!

What a wonderful time

I have lots of pictures to show so I won't spend a lot of time writing this down.
The one thing I must say...
Dan and Ann "THANK YOU" so much for putting this great weekend together,
Dan is a fantastic Chef and Ann is the hostess with the Mostess! OK that was 2 things!

Look at this wonderful food!!!!

Decadent dessert!




We had 4 ladies celebrating their Birthday within a couple of weeks of one another.
So I had a cake made for them!




LtoR .... Marie-Paule....Rebecca [back] ...Dani....Ann.... Happy Birthday !!!




I did a lot of stitching ,eating and catching up with stitching friends from near and far.
It was wonderful to see everyone!!

P.L.

HAED.


This week I will be catching up on my blogging and reading. We were without internet for 4 days and then I was away. So I will read as many as I can and comment as I catch up!
Have a great week and
Stitch with happy fingers.

The Phantom of the Opera.....

And Les Miserables.



This has been a week of absolutely NO Stitching.
It's about the singing,



I am preforming with the Command performance choir in a chorus for the production of the music from The Phantom and Les Mis.



We had a full dress rehearsal on Sunday...from 3pm until 8pm...yup a long day.
Last night was opening night and tonight we rap up with our 2nd performance. There will be a cast party after that.
We are having so much fun. This is a very professional production and it is very interesting to hear these amazing singers.

I will try and post a few more photo's later on. Today I only have these two taken at the dress rehearsal. I'm in the front row. Which is a bit nerve racking. But I'm OK with that.

This weekend at the retreat I will be back to my stitching.

I hope you all stitch with happy fingers and take care.

Weekend update.

I had a great time visiting at the Open house that Ann had at Knowledge and Needles!
It was fantastic, She had great things set up for sale from the Nashville convention . Lots of new designs.
I picked up some wonderful fabric and threads. A couple of little charts and will look again when I go back on Thursday to stitch!

It was great to see Dani and Christin.
And thanks Ann for a nice lunch!
I'm so happy you had a good weekend!

Today I had my Mom here for the day [our usual Sunday] But she and My DH watched the Curling so I got lots of stitching done. They are enjoying the Briar and There is no way I have any control of the TV while that is on!
I don't really mind!

I hope you all " stitch with happy fingers! "

If you are interested?

I saw this on Oma's blog , to win a gift from her.......Which I did, she is sending me a gift because I was in the first 5

And I thought it might be fun,

This is the way it goes...
The first 5... yes five... people to comment on this post only...Will receive a gift stitched by me.

There is a CATCH.. PIF

1-You MUST do the same... post this on "Your blog" and pass on to FIVE folks as well.
2-You will receive this gift within the year...mind you mine will be ready soon.
3- I have already started stitching
4- If you don't want to Pass It Forward please leave the space for someone who would like too.
5- It MUST be something hand made by you. Your choice of course! No pressure!


So here goes...Who will be the first 5???

Ready set GO GO GO !!!!!
