I've decided I'm going to rename my blog Stitching for Sanity just as soon as I see that it's not already taken. I swear, if I couldn't stitch, who knows what kind of crime I might have committed by now!
In late April, I attended a Brightneedle Workshop at Elegant Stitch and what a wonderful time it was. We worked on 2 projects from BN which require stitching over one. I hadn't expected that but I'm thrilled because they're both adorable and I've always wanted to try one over one. We also received two gifts from Lady Dot - a darling pincushion and a needlebook.
As if I wasn't already thrilled, we then had red velvet cupcakes for dessert. Am I the only human to reach my 50's without ever having tasted red velvet cake before? OMG ~ I am so addicted now! Plus, I got to share a table with 2 great gals - Cheryl of Henderson, NV and Elaine of Columbus, GA. I can't wait for the next workshop in October!
With school out, I've been in a stitching frenzy! I finished SB's Be Brave for July and I'm continuing on Blue Ribbon's Halloween With a "Y".
I finished a free BBD design which I did as a reminder of my own trip to Paris. I also finished the penquin started in January as well as 'Tis Green from La-D-Da. My crazy challenge list is getting shorter and I'm staying sane. Here's to hoping you all stay sane with stitching as well!
