Tuesday I totally forgot to give you the links for Ro's Designs and the wonderful shop that the retreat visited.

wordless Wednesday

No new photos for the moment.   This week-end I spent a relaxing and fun time at a stitching retreat, taking class from Ro Pace.  My ANG chapter (White River) had it's very first retreat and invited Ro to be our first teacher.  We stitched Sea Opal - a gorgeous piece!

It was fun, relaxing and tiring - too much to do, too much to stitch, too much to talk about and of sourse, those basketball games in between classes and meals.

Now it's back to reality and everyday life.

Kreinik

It is sad to announce that Mr. Jerry Kreinik, who began Kreinik Mfg with wife Estelle 40 years ago, passed away after a long and amazing life.

 

Condolences to the family.

Wordless Wednesday

Today was a relaxing day of stitching with my EGA group.  We stitch, talk, stitch, eat lunch, stitch some more, talk some more - nice and relaxing.

Tonight Dancing with the Stars begins!  I admit that I love this show.  I admire the courage of the people who learn how to dance thru the season.  Take guts to look awful in front of that many viewers.  Which is exactly how I would look.   I'm tone deaf so I would never hear the proper beat.  BUt I can certainly enjoy watching everyone else.

Time Flies!

My how time flies away.  I have been so busy this week that I have hardly stitched- horrors!  I did do a fair amount of reading and one night when I couldn't sleep, I did genealogy (which has also taken a backseat lately).  But I do have two update photos.

First up is the FINISHED, but still unpressed,  Home of the Brave.  The original chart was done completely in the dark red but as you can see, I made a few changes.

The second is a in-progress shot of Itty Bitty Ornament (over 1 on 32 ct).  This project really wears on my eyes.  Time to get the glasses checked again.
