Buddha…how old are you? yes I know that it is very impolite to ask your age….

Lotus lanterns have been hung in preparation for Buddha’s birthday in Seoul, Korea. Buddha’s birthday was actually yesterday.

A man prays under lotus lanterns that have been tagged with prayer petitions in a Buddhist temple in South Korea.

This canvas is a Sandra Gilmore design. The words have been beaded and next I will work on the lotus flower, which too will be all beaded. The rest of the canvas will just have some light stitching… that is when I am able to get back to this as it has been moved down to about 6th in the stitching order.

Even Mooch and Earl are in the Buddha state of mind…

I did spend my day yesterday between charting for the July/August issue of Needlepoint Now and stitching on the Alice Peterson bicycle. Got to watch allot of wonderful baseball too. I really lost myself in the charting and asked Elizabeth is something was wrong with me? I was enjoying working on the charting so much and drawing the stitches instead of stitching. Okay no more work this weekend, only stitching! and for me at times my stitching is work, but fun work!

and here is my Buddha kitty sitting in a box that is way too small for her! but she does look cute. and until next time…keep on stitching
