I did not mean to go dark for a week.
We bought a car.
This entailed a whole lot more time and energy than I was interested in spending. I am not a car person. Anyway, I think we're going to like it, even through it may be smarter than we are. And I hope it will be the last car I buy in this lifetime.
There was some stitching this week.
The humongous and complicated band is done. The very sweet and much less complicated floral band below it is also done. The next section has a lot of spot motifs and an alphabet and more border. I think I'm going to enjoy working on it, but I may take a day or so off to work on something else, just to shake things up a little and to keep the creative flow flowing.
I also started a new project, Darlene O'Steen's Queen Sampler. The Mayflower Sampler Guild is doing this as a SAL. However, I started it last night and there isn't enough to show at this point.
Then the mail came today and brought me the kit for the next class with Zina Kasben.
Everything is so pretty when it comes out of the mailing box that you just don't want to mess it up by opening everything.
But then you do and there are all kinds of goodies inside, also beautifully packaged.
And Zina also sends a little gift, beautifully handstitched. Can you believe it's a button?
Such incredibly fine work!!
Anyway, I have to wait until September to start, which means I could potentially get the two classes I started earlier this year finished before I start this.
I believe I had better stitch tonight.
