What a week!!

I started out my week by finishing Rose Ada Featherstone, and on Friday I finished Gloria by Tempting Tangles.  

I've been working on this WIP for over 3 years.  It was second on my list that I hoped to finish this year.  A little later than I had hoped, but it's finished...YAY!  Now to find a place I would like to have frame it nicely.  There are days I wish I still worked in the frame shop (though it went out of business years ago).  I did learn a valuable lesson with this one...while it looks fabulous on opalescent fabric (it really doesn't show in the picture how sparkly it is) it sure was a mess to stitch on.  Otherwise I think I would have finished it while it was still a SAL.  Anyway, I'll keep to smaller pieces if I use it another time.  

Friday I also got to watch my granddaughter who is a joy to have around.  She is fun, and funny, and though I'm wiped out afterward, I love spending time with her.  I hope she is always as excited to see me as I am to see her.  

And Friday I found out I won a pattern that I helped name.  I won't receive it for a little while, but I'm excited to see it and stitch it.  I very rarely win anything, so this was super exciting for me!  

I've been watching the coronation of the British King today.  Don't you love all the pomp and circumstance?  It's a feast for the eyes as well as the ears.  The choir is fabulous as well as the other performers.  

And now I'm going to stitch a couple smaller pieces before I pick another WIP from my list.  Have a wonderful weekend!  Happy Stitching!!
