My Week In Stitches

Last week was productive!  I managed to meet all of my April goals!

Easter Sunday was beautiful here in the Boise area.  Cold, but very pretty.  We held 2 services at our church, so I didn't get a chance to take pictures of the girls in their dresses.  By the time I got home they had already changed into play clothes.  They also refused to take off their sweaters at church so I could show off my handiwork.  Grrrr.  I got a ton of compliments on my dress, though.

Did anyone else watch the royal wedding?  I didn't get up early for it - coverage started at 2 a.m. in my neck of the woods.  I'll just say that I love my DVR.  I started crying about the time Catherine stepped out of the hotel.  I like to see people who are really in love and are so committed to each other.  I really hope the best for them.

Okay!  Pictures!  Goals met for April - 3 more motifs for the 15-sided biscornu, and FINISH FAIRY SISTERS PAGE 1!!!!!!!  It's been over a year since I started this HAED.  I am enjoying it, but it became very easy to put it off while it was just night sky.  I think I've mentioned before, things get more interesting in page 2.



This week I have a lot of crochet going on.  I'm making a "reveal" gift for my Secret Sister - I try not to do anything handmade until the very end, because otherwise they'd guess it was me.  And also, it's a lot of work! I want to be able to present that to her at church on Sunday, so I have to finish by Saturday!  We also have baby showers coming up, and I'm getting gift ideas for those little ones.

I hope you are having a great week - please go look at yesterday's Tutorial post and let me know what else you'd like me to teach!

I love the colors in Fairy Sisters. I actually found you from the HAED blog you're a member of. I'll introduce myself, lol. I'm Julie, and I live in Cincinnati, OH with my little cat, Yes Dear. I love to stitch. Right now I'm working on a gift, and it's just not calling to me. Too much white on white, grrrr... Looking forward to your next update!!
