I was bad...

So I was bad... I saw that Karen at Wasatch Needlcraft has having a sale. so I thought I'd peruse it... and low and behold I got my hands on the Limited Edition Just Nan for a great deal!!
So it's on my way to me.
If you don't remember this one here is a pic:


I am very excited as this one was previously outside my ability to afford but with the sale I can!
There are LOTS of other great items on sale on her site. And I have ordered from her a few times with great service.
(no this endorsement is not paid for by her or anything, just want to share a great site with you all).

We also picked up some new storage items for my loose threads this past weekend... I think I will be putting them together tonight and will post pics when I am done. They are essentially nail/screw holders that I am converting into thread holders.
And WIP pics soon too!
Just had to share my excitement about Harmony for today...so forgive me.
:)

A finished finish

I finally got a glue gun the other day so that I could finish my ornament and send it off for my ILCS Yahoo Group exchange.
I think it turned out okay... it's not perfect but not too embarrassing to send off (at least I hope not because its sent!). The one corner is not perfect... but I had sudden fray issues and it wouldn't tuck. so I had to make-do. I'll do better next time I hope!

Here is the front:


And here is the back:


Coming up: I will have updates in the next few days on my WIP including the ducky, Papillion SAL and Judgement Dragons.
As always thanks for visiting and all your lovely comments!

Finally... Holiday Pictures

Sorry it has taken me so long to get organized with this. So the holiday that my B/F and I took a few weeks back... I finally have photos ready of it!
We traveled into British Columbia into the BC Rockies and then came home through Lake Louise through the Canadian Rockies (where my previous hike pictures are always from).
My grandparents are in BC and so that is where we stayed. It was so serene and peaceful out there. No internet, minimal phone usage. Just awesome!

Here are some photos of our trip:

The raspberry patch on my grandparents farm


Crescent Lake (this is actually just on the other side of the US border, so we were into the US for all of three hours that day. :)


There were some intense thunderstorms while we were there. My B/F got this great photo off the mountain ridge one night.


This is the river out back of my grandparents property. It's a treat because you can only access it if you own the property up to the river (which they do).


On the way home we spent one night in Golden at the B/F's Aunt's. These bighorn sheep were hanging out by the roadside at Roger's Pass.


This is Takakkawa Falls just outside of Lake Louise (we also stopped there for a nice lunch). Only about four hours from home now in the Canadian Rockies.


Those are the best of the photos. Hope you enjoyed seeing a bit more of my part of the world.

More stitching progress and such coming up near the end of the week.
Thanks for visiting!
