Hello all,
I have a very rare instance of a quiet house tonight as both children are away. Wow, this doesn't happen very often and I must say I am enjoying it. DS is away for the entire weekend on a winter camping experience trip and DD is away at a sleepover birthday party tonight. DH and I celebrated by immediately going out for a nice Thai food dinner. I got him with my iPhone...he doesn't do pictures well, but I think he looks pretty good in this one. :)
I have been busy stitching this past week as I signed up for an exchange on the EMS Cross Stitch Forum (
http://www.cross-stitch-board.com/). If you've never been there, it's a wonderful site with lots of great people and very worthwhile to check out. The rules of the exchange are that it has to been done over-one on evenweave. I had come across this cute little free chart on Ink Circles website called Breast Cancer Awareness Ribbon Mandala. I am using the DMC conversion they provided, which makes it look quite different, but I still really like it. I am thinking of finishing it off as a biscournu as I think it would look cute. What do you think?
I am going to work some more on it tonight as it needs to be sent out by February 28th and I hate running down to the wire.
It was sooooo windy here this morning. When I took DD to ballet class the wind blew the door out of my hand as I was getting out of the car. Thank goodness there was no car parked right beside me! Other than the wind, it was beautiful and sunny.
I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!
Cheers!
The ribbon mandala will make a lovely biscornu. I've noticed that several stitchers have "pink" baskets, and this would be a great pattern for those! And it's a freebie - thanks for sharing!
