First up, a few more pictures from our mine ruin walk two weekends ago as promised.
Here is me (I actually like this picture of me which is so unusual):
And better ones of the ruins:
It was Canada Day on July 1st. And the B/F and I both got the Thursday and Friday last week off. It was sooo nice. We went climbing in the Rockies, it was cloudy so no pretty blue sky this time around; here's the B/F on a rock face (yes we have all the training and safety gear):
Then it was a Canadian Football League game in the evening, where our team the Calgary Stampeders won! Here are the fireworks from after the game:
And finally I started a the HAED SK SAL that started on July 1st. This is going to be Rose. She is a dream to stitch. I am loving her so much I find it hard to put her down. This is my progress so far:
And what she will look like when done:
(I like her sooo much more than Elfland, but I will try to finish Elfland too!)
We have a busy weekend coming up with lots of family coming into town including my cousin from Ontario, my Grandma and my siblings. All for the Calgary Stampede (it's a big outdoor western festival that runs for 10 days). It will be exhausting but hopefully fun! So pics of that to come next week. And any stitching I manage to sneak in there too.
Thanks for reading and for all your comments, past & present!

All your stitching is very nice!
I am all most kitted up(and pumped up) to start a HAED project. I need material and never worked on linen . What are you using for Rose? Any suggestions?
I didn't mean to get carried away with my questions.... just wanted to tell you what lovely work you do.
great job looking forward to more....Sharon
I love the photo of you in the ruins.
Rose is gonna be so pretty.
