I have so many exciting things to share with you today.
But first I wanted to answer some questions I have been asked from my last post (and wow, thank you for so many comments!!).Nancy - My HAED is on 25 count over one (using one thread).
A few people asked about my Waterlilies colour for Bouquet, the colour is called Rainforest.
So yesterday a family friend carried the Olympic Torch through town, as it's on its way to Vancouver. My camera did okay... most of the pictures are really blurry... but that is user error I'm sure. :(
There were lots of people, which surprised me. And it was kinda moving, everyone had tears in their eyes and stuff (which also surprised me). It was a truly great thing to be a part of though. Here are a few pics:
Okay, onto the next. I *finally* took some pictures of dragons. I'm not super happy with these pics. they look kinda distorted on the edges. Not sure if that is my camera or just the angle that I am shooting at. But they work I suppose.
Here is the section I have been working on:
And here is the whole piece to date.
I am showing my uncle (who this piece is for) and his girl this weekend the progress. I hope my uncle still likes it and that his new girl will like it.
And finally... I hit 101 followers!!! You guys are awesome. Thank you so much. I was not expecting to hit 100 that fast. :)
I will do a giveaway as promised by the end of the week. Look for it tomorrow or friday. And again thank you so much for all your comments, views and time spent here. I truly appreciate it!

How awesome that you got to hold the torch! And it's great hearing about all the folks that come out in support when it seems like all the news reports is people protesting.

Wow, you got to hold it???? That's pretty cool and a once in a lifetime opportunity! Your HAED looks nice. I didn't like the look of the one over one, but yours looks good!
Holding the torch, that's really awesome. Lucky you.
Great progress on the dragon piece. It gets better and better..
That is totally cool that you got to hold the tourch! Dragons is coming along great. If you want some tips drop me an email regarding pics with your new camera. There might be a setting on yours that I found on mine by accident that really helps with detailed stitching pics.
