It has been a couple of months 1 Apr 2020 2:15 PM (4 years ago)
It's been a couple of months since
I posted. I volunteered to work
at market for a shop. I met Vonna
whom I just love and Cathy
from Hands on Designs. Market
was a bucket list experience.
It was a lot of work, but I am
glad I did get to experience this
event. I met so many shop owners
and designers. This industry is
amazing.
Hands on Designs - Cathy
I fully finished HL moth and it
is hanging in my bedroom.
This was a release from last
years market 2019.
Fully Finished
Pattern by Hands on Designs.
My First fully finished sampler.
I put in a full front garden by myself.
144 bricks, measuring one sq ft.
I laid the plastic barrier and then
land each stone. I did this in one day.
I was sore the next couple of days
but so worth it.
I had organic compost soil delivered on
Monday and the left side of the garden
is complete.
They ran out of soil. so next delivery is Friday.
I want everyone to know that what is going
on in this country and around the world
will pass. Stay positive and focus on
what make you happy and makes you
smile.
Much love and happy stitching everyone.

Magazine on the market. This is a punchneedle pattern.

Stitch and it gives me a break in between large cross
Stitch pieces. This is a gift.
