Craft Forum / Textile / Needlework / July 2009

I had a nice little schedule down - house work type stuff until 11 - watch "
The Price is Right" and stitch, have lunch, finish the need to be done today
chores and then stitch to "Bizarre Foods" other such escapist dreck until
the school buses started rolling home...

I emailed the link to Carolyn at the shop. If any more come in, I can
send them to.
She also liked Ellice's idea of pink hairdressing tape, so sent that on

Happy Dominion Day tomorrow to all my fellow Canadians.
I'll be spending part of the day at Belleville in the park with a
display and demo of needlework from our local Guild.  We are taking
shifts, but since I have the Guild banner, I have to be there early.

I've been stitching away at a baby dragon alphabet. I've also spent a little
time on Bouquet for Cheryl in the DMC variation dark green. I've also got a
purse project that hasn't been touched since lacrosse practices ended. But
since DD is going to a lacrosse clinic, I guess I'll ...

WooHoo!  I did pretty well!
"Chill" got a 2nd place (I was actually a bit disappointed with this,
but didn't see what got 1st for a comparison),
"Summer flower box" (the SAL piece) got a 2nd

I am so pleased to have found you.  I have very much enjoyed reading
appropriate gifts for chewing pupmitzvahs and the grammar peeves.
   At a happy and silly baby shower we were invited to suggest names for
the little darling.  I offered 'Polly Esther' and it has stayed with me
