Lots of Fun

My Internet wasn't working so it took me a while to get this posted.

On Wednes day a few of us got together to make some flat folds .



We had so much fun, Barb was there to assist us and guide us through the process. When there are a few people it is much more fun. We laugh and glued and then had tea and cookies thanks to Ann
of Knowledge and Needles.
She has also put up a few photos. check it out. She wrote what they all are so I won't repeat.

Thanks Barb for all your help and Thanks Ann for your hospitality!!! She made cookies for us yummmmm! See even one of her dogs Molly was trying to convince Mom she should have one too!!.


I'm off to work today so have a good day all and stitch with happy fingers.

More wall .

I was finally able to sit down tonight and stitch on the Tour des Marques. I can even see where I'm building another wall. There are many color changes in this, but.. an interesting piece.

We are off to visit my DH's parents tomorrow . They are in a nursing home about an hour away. So the day will be booked up. I will take some stitching but I don't expect I'll do much. I like to have it in the car in case we get held up some where on the road!
The weather doesn't look good and if it is bad we won't go...We'll hold off for a day or so. They are both doing well just elderly and need some care!

Take care and thank you for your great comments.
Stitch with happy fingers.

Some catching up!

I don't have much to show you from the last few days...Oh a little on the castle but not much to see on that.


This was stitched by me in Dec. of 2005.
It is Starry night by Prairie schooler.
I think it is so pretty, Very sparkly!There are 5 more in the book no.109. I will have to do some more. I framed it myself!


This week has been very busy.
We did the renovations in the kitchen I have posted a before and after for you.






The bench in the alcove was a catch all and my computer desk was on the other side and very small.
So.....I said one day I wouldn't mind if the bench was gone and a desk put in. So....




Here it is..It's not finished yet but you get the idea. I'm actually putting a TV on the small desk on the side. That was the desk I had across from it on the other wall.
When I get all the things back on the wall I will post it again.



I hope you all have a great weekend. Stitch with happy fingers.!

Stash for Moonlight Guardian

Last weekend at the retreat I managed to pick up the rest of the fibers that I needed for the Moonlight guardian by Dragon dreams.




I had bought the chart in the summer when I was asked to join Christin and Dani in a SAL starting Jan.1st 2008.









Christin the enabler [thanks again] sent me a bundle of specialty threads to start the kit and my Fabric is on order so it will be here on time!










This is week4 of PL and I hate to put it down.


I'm going to stitch with the ladies of the Thursday Group today...teapot day.
I hope the weather holds out. It's been freezing rain and a bit of snow. -3*c. I have choir practice tonight so I hope I can go there as well!
Have a great day all and please stitch with happy fingers.

We had a Blast !!!!!

Well I promised some photos so here they are.

I picked a few to try to cover everyone. There were thirteen of us and the two gentlemen are the owner of the Butler Creek B&B. They are wonderful hosts and we were given full reign of the house. Butler Creek has been sold and we will miss them. Now we'll look for something new...AWWWW.
We had hor'durves in the evening on Friday prepared by 3 of the ladies and then stitched until midnight .
Saturday we had A beautiful breakfast and stitched.
Lunch..most of us are in the photo


Lunch was at Knowledge and Needles...Ann hosted...And her DH Dan prepared the lovely lunch for us. He did a great job and served it at the table so we all ate at once. It was a lovely hot meal with all the trimmings.
After spending some time and money in Ann neat little store we were off again to do some stitching.
We all brought food for a Pot luck and ate again...Ohhh the food was so goooood.
Later we had a great 7layer dip with nachos that one of the girls brought so we ate again! Are you getting the picture, eat... stitch... eat... stitch...eat. " Very little sleep "I think it was1:30pm before we went to bed again.
Sunday morning another breakfast and stitched 'til noon.
We were ready to go. Some people had a ways to travel so we said our farewells and were off.

I did get a lot of stitching done on Lucky which I will share.

PL update

This my update on the PL . I should have finished the motif but I got too tired.
This is the weekend for the fall stitching retreat so I will see you with photos and lots of stitching progress on Monday.
Have a good weekend all and stitch with happy fingers!!!

We're painting

I haven't stitched for a day or 2 because we are doing some renovating and I had to shop for paint and i did some priming on the new drywall.
Yuck. Not my favorite thing to do. DH will do the painting.
I will post a photo when it is all done.

I needed to share this bear with you. A lady that works at the retirement home where my Mom lives made this out of old jewelry. He stand about 20inches high and is just gorgeous. He is sitting on a lazy susan and is just as wonderful on the back. They are selling it at a silent auction for there entertainment fund.
Starting at $250.00 , I hope they do well !!!


I'm off to stitch on PL and will post tomorrow.on the SAL blog.
