Inquiring minds are wondering…so where the h*** have I been doing with myself lately? Have I just been “Out of Africa?” as it looks like here?
No I haven’t been to Africa, but Lani sure has! Wow look at these wonderful new canvases that she debuted at market this year.
Just beautiful and look at these amazing colors!
I love these and I could easily add each and every one of them to my stash with the hopes of stitching them in my lifetime!
Too I can’t help but think of Wendy, God rest her soul each and every time I look at these canvases. I remember fondly the beautiful pictures that she took when she would visit her daughter Amanda in Africa. And the stories Wendy would tell us…
Okay, okay all these beautiful canvases from market, but still haven’t answered that question… “So where have I been?”
Well I was at the Blue Bonnet Retreat in Austin Texas. That’s where I was! and what a wonderful time was had by all. Beautiful facilities, the food and adult beverages were wonderful, the friendships made and renewed, the camaraderie among our family of stitchers special and of course 2 days with Meredith absolutely amazing! I know I am going back next year…but what classes do I want to take?
I have lots of fun stuff to show and tell you from my weekend at Blue Bonnet, I just need to get the pictures onto my computer. We still have a blogoversary to celebrate and I still have more from market to share with you. And oh BTW (by the way) what have I been stitching lately? Stay tuned!
This was my “Mom why are you disturbing my sleep?” look from AlleyCat as I left the house on Friday morning. What a brat as she wouldn’t even come down to give me a proper goodbye! Just a little meow and she went right back to sleep. What’s a mother to do? and until next time…keep on stitching
I love those canvases especially the collages but the colors on the others are also breathtaking. It is also a reminder I need to go back to Alice. Worked on the background, got tired and went back to “little stitching”. You’re right when you say it is to be stitched during one’s lifetime.
Glad to hear you had a good time during the retreat and can’t wait to see pictures and what you’re up to in the stitching world. Curious minds want to know.
I have been so busy with everything that I missed saying Happy Anniversary to you and the kitties!! Happy Anniversary!!!! May you continue to amuse, teach, and amaze us for another year!!
Thanks Lisa!
