Picture Monday - and a long weekend. Well here's my photo update for the week. I worked on Legends Saturday and Sunday for quite a few hours each day. Majestic is almost done besides the backstitching and the tail and septer. I got to use a lot of sparkly :) I'll have to scan a picture in soon because the photo doesn't do it justice at all.

Legends of the Dragons at 24 hours:


Thursday night and Friday night I worked on Peaceful Silhouette, most of the stitching on the boat is finished now. I have to figure out if I want to finish more sky or continue down at the boats, since i messed up my starting position (down an inch too far), i will have to add fabric to the bottom to help it fit in my q-snaps correctly while working near the bottom as i will only have an inch and a half at the bottom.

Peaceful Silhouette at 21.5 hours:


So friday i missed work and pretty much slept the day away but in the afternoon i was feeling better and got some stuff done including a hair cut with my boyfriend and a trip to joann's with my friend. I bought some stamping stuff to start that new hobbie, she's really into stamping so i am welcome to share her collection she said and she's having a stamping party (where you buy stamps) in May that i look forward to getting my own collection started.

Then i went up to my uncle's for the night, my boyfriend drove up seperately since he had to leave saturday morning, so we spent the evening playing computer games (Medal of Honor), until 1:30am. Saturday i spent the morning with my little cousins, a great time, then the afternoon my uncle and i (and my 5 year old cousin), changed the brake pads, rotors and oil on my car. Then I vacuumed it out and tada it's done and working well :) He's got all sorts of fun stuff for working on cars, like one of those rolly things you lay on to go under the car.

I went home late saturday to stitch until 2 am and sunday we slept till noon - didnt' even realize it! Then we went out to lunch to celebrate my boyfriend getting the TA position he applied for next fall. We also hit up walmart and bj's so it was an expensive afternoon :)

Of course after that I pretty much just stitched, not wanting to stop at 10:30 but needing to get to bed to get up for work today. It's tough putting down Legends knowing I won't be picking it up for a while - next month actually.

I plan to spend this week working on my amish quilt and my ohio star, and Peaceful Silhouette at lunch time. Then this weekend is Celebrations! So I will be starting new projects, with a round robin friday night that's 4 small projects, then saturday maybe i'll have some stitching time, but sunday is a class with a new project so most likely i'll be working on that the rest of the day after class too.

Guild Tuesday night and Stitch Thursday night leaves me only 2 nights to quilt anyway so Legends is usually only a weekend project... so it looks like mother's day weekend will be the next time i pick it up and maybe finish the dragon and start working on the border again.

Glad to hear you're feeling better I had a nasty migraine on Friday as well so I know how you felt! You got a lot of stitching done this weekend and your projects are looking great.
