Weekend update... but a lack of stitching

Well it's already tuesday and I feel like I haven't stitched since last week... which is almost true. Life kinda got away from me the last few days and over the weekend.
There wasn't alot of stitching because we went to see the Offspring in concert on Friday night. It was fantastic!

Then we went hiking (late cause the night before was one of those 3am kinda deals) out in the Canadian Rockies, just outside of Canmore.
The trail is called Heart Creek, there are lots of climbers climbing the cliff face. We climbed up a scramble route and got to the top of the falls that you can't see from below because they are wedged between the rocks. It was so fantastic.
Here's a few pictures:




And then we did some charity stuff for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation on Sunday (a walk) and had my MIL and her man over for dinner.
*whew* I get tired just writing it all... and in there... about two dozen stitches on the duck and that is it!

Then last night we were busy too.. but tonight I'm looking forward to hopefully stitching on my Judgement dragons.
I will be stitching a bit less in the next little bit because I have a few freelance design jobs that I got awarded, which is great because it's extra money, but kinda bad cause it cuts into stitching time. But what can you do eh? :)

Coming up: Tomorrow maybe pictures of judgement, there are a few more stitches in the pirate as well as I have done a bit on my lunch hours at the office, so maybe a picture of him too!

Thanks for visiting!

Giveaway Winner!

Well I drew the name last night for my blog giveaway #2.

And I pulled....*drum roll*

Carol!

Congratulations to Carol on winning the Lavender and Lace pattern.
I apologize that I don't have cheesy pictures this time from the draw as my B/F was not home last night and me and the camera just haven't been getting along lately. ;)

I don't have any progress pics either as he was not home. But I have been working on the rubber ducky.
We have a busy weekend ahead of us, with another concert tonight (for the Offspring), hiking tomorrow, a charity walk on sunday and the B/F's Mom and her boyfriend are coming for dinner on Sunday. *whew* so not sure how much stitching I will accomplish we'll just have to see.

Coming up: More progress on WIP.

Congratulations again to Carol! There will be more giveaways in the coming months so keep checking back

Pirates and Dragons

I have some work in progress pictures to share with you all.
First up my Pirate piece. This has still mostly been stitched in the car, at lunch and a little at home while watching playoff hockey. I was so happy to get all the letters done and now just have the skull on top!



And further progress on the Judgement Dragons.
It may not seem like much, but it's almost three nights worth of work, which is alot of time. This one just progresses slowly.


Coming up: The draw for my giveaway should be posted tomorrow. And more WIP pictures for me over the next week or so.

Thanks for visiting and your comments are always appreciated!
