Finish #2 This one was started at the June retreat I went to.  I love this whole Pumpkin Blossom line of smalls.

 

I picked up a large rectangular frame at last weeks EGA meeting for $5.  It was amongst many donations to the guild from the family of one of our members that passed away.  And in went my Blackbird Designs 2008 mystery sampler!   I am ok with it not being a perfect fit(obviously :)

 

 

 

Now, the good news. 

 

Remember the Crabapple Hill class I went to in July?  Well, Meg Hawkey holds retreats at her home in central, southern WA state 4 times each year.  And I was so very lucky to fill the final spot at her fall retreat in 2 weeks!  Woo Hoo!  I am so excited!  Click HERE to see some photos of past retreats.

 

Then, I have my trip to AZ in Nov for 3 Merry Cox classes with Attic Needlework.  Can't wait to finally see their store!

 

Then, there is another stitching retreat with EGA in November when I get back from AZ. 

 

Then, I need to mail my Advent exchange that I am doing with Lorrie from Iowa. I am getting very close to being ready, Lorrie!

 

Then, in December I will be sworn in as treasurer for my local EGA guild for 2013-2014.  Did I forget to mention that I still work too?  lol

 

The rest of this year is going to go by so fast.
