My vacation in Dallas was wonderful, I got lots of stitching done, though not a lot of cross stitching. My friend who co-owns a LNS is into needlepoint and everytime I'm with her, I seem to needlepoint all the time. I finished three projects that I had started before and left them with her to send them to the finisher. I started and finished a Halloween project and took that back home as I will needlepoint a second canvas in that line. Pics of the needlepoint canvases will be up later this week.
When I got back home there was a pile of mail and packages to go through. I am mostly up to speed now and will start sending out packages for the shop at the end of this week.
While going over some French blogs I found several wonderful finishes that really made me want to get two books. So I browsed through www.amazon.fr and ordered the following books:
I am especially looking forward to the first two. It will be great to have some new ideas for finishing. I hope the finishing instructions come with pics as my french is really non-existent.
I haven't stitched a lot since I got back, partly due to the work that needed to be done, partly due to the weather. It is exceptionally warm here, today it'll be around 30 degrees Celsius and that's way too warm to stitch. Luckily, the weekend should be cooler, which I think is wonderful. I want to get back to my stitching.
More needlepoint news will be posted once I have the pics uploaded to my computer.
