I had a fantastic weekend!  How often do I say that, not that often (unless its an awesome stitchy weekend!). Todd decided not to go fishing this weekend, and we actually spent it together (not something we do too often really he fishes, I stitch!).  We started out with taking in a matinee Saturday morning (I’m too cheap to pay full price for a movie), Iron Man 2 was not bad, but of course as

Weekend Stitchy Update

The consensus was very strong so I guess my instincts were right, I went with Dried Thyme for my TKD buddy’s wedding sampler.  I started the piece on Tuesday, and here’s where I am at the end of the night Thursday (could of been further along if I hadn’t crashed at 9PM last night).  I’m stitching this using the DMC substitutions instead of the hand dyed fibers and I’m really enjoying this piece!

I kept to my goal this weekend and despite going out dancing last night I managed to finish 1/4 of Celestial Dragon.  Well its not treally 100% finished, there’s a scale pattern to be done on the dragon in gold blending fillament, a netting to stitch in the backgrounda and beads to go on.  I’ll be leaving all of that until the end.  (BTW I did fix the loop by the dragon’s mouth/tongue!)

I was a good girl, and stuck to my plan yesterday no matter how tempted I was to pick up Celestial Dragon I didn’t and focused on my ornament.  Which I did finish and was able to give CD a little time before bed!

Its the May 2-4 weekend as we Canadians call it, technically its Victoria Day Weekend, for some strange reason we get a long weekend to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Birthday.  She’s been dead a very long time now, but I’m not going to knock it! So first I’m going to ask for your opinion, a good, long time TKD buddy of mine is getting married at the end of July and I finally got the wedding invite.

Long Weekend Stitching, and Fabric Opinions Please!

Lately all I want to do is stitch, stitch, stitch!  Especially on Celestial Dragon, I am just so in love with this design!  The colours are fantastic and the pictures just don’t show how shimmery this dragon is! Also on Saturday Art Deco Spirits got some needle time.  While I was waiting for my Mum at the hairdressers I brought ADS with me and got quite a bit of it done. Today was my weigh in

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

Yesterday I got a wonderful surprise in the mail!  I had won a giveaway on Staci’s blog, a fantastic pair of scissors!  They will certainly get put to good use! I’ve been working on Celestial Dragon when I can and I’m now backstitching (BSing) the knotwork in the last corner.  Hopefully tomorrow I can move onto the last Chinese character : Virtue.  I was asked what was the last character I

Today we celebrated Todd’s Grandmother’s 80th birthday.  We wrapped up the day with family photos… I really wish I had thought to bring my good camera.  I took my point and shoot with me, and boy can you tell from the quality of the pictures!!! The whole family from Todd’s Great Grandmother at the age of 97, to the youngest in the family, Liam who is 16 months. Me, Todd, his Mom, Dad, Sister
