A busy day yesterday!

Well girls I spent Saturday all for MOI and totally enjoyed it. Guess I'll be having more of these soon too! April 30th is the last day of my four years of part time employment on top of my full time day job!!!! YAHOOOIEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

It started off getting a new cell phone (cranberry colour) and then off to my quilting satellite group and started stitching my scrap fabric selvedges onto a foundation backed with a very nice green small print backing fabric that will hopefully be stitched this week into my challenge item for the retreat I'm going to in June. I could not believe how long it takes to stitch strips together and trying to maintain a semblance of order and design!!! Some of the Aurora gals told me to loosen up and just sew so I did a bit and it went a bit faster - LOL!





Then rushed out to find a compact sized purse - no go there!

So off to my LNS, Mrs. Twitchetts Eye where we had an after hours "cocktail hour" and stitching PJ party for $15. We had a lovely time and after all the mock-cocktails and finger food along with awesome desserts were gobbled down, we settled down to an evening of stitching. Partway through the night we stopped and each were given a small kit of Swaroski crystals, beads, #22 tapestry needle and some beading thread to make a counted needlework marker. It's just lovely and I bought some extra kits for myself and a couple to make for my friend who could not come tonight. Then again before we left around 11:30/midnight various items were put on 30% off sale.

I took my Brazillian Dimensional Embroidery class project to work on and made lots of headway with the background greenery and very glad I did so as I really did not remember how to do one set of leaves at all and really not that keen on them either but at least I did them. Okay I think I'm ready for the next class of a rose, chrysanthemum, clymatis and field flowers!!!




I sat with Pat from our guild and satellite group and what an inspiration she was too! See she does such exquisite embroidery and tonight it was even in my colours so I just LOVED her piece and very envious of her work! And needless to say there were many there tonight with varous needlework projects that I envied!!! Yes a very lovely evening. BUT I was exhausted when I got home at midnight. Guess I'm to old for all this gallivanting! LOL!
