International Hermit and Stitch Weekend October

I know I'm a little late posting, it's been a crazy weekend.  While I didn't get to hermit....I did get some stitching done.  My family and I were at the beach over the weekend celebrating my birthday!  We were pretty busy so I really didn't get to take too many pictures.  I was only able to work on one project (though I did have a few with me).  I was able to finish it off today, so I'll show the beginning and the finished piece.  This is called Secret Visitor, by Ellen Maurer-Stroh.  It was originally a free one she offered but has since removed it from the website.  

As I mentioned, we went to Ocean City for an extended weekend for my birthday.  Part of my gift was a shopping spree at the Salty Yarns in Berlin, Maryland.  Besides getting some needed fabric and floss, I found a few patterns.  I can't wait to get started!  We had a wonderful time shopping, wandering the beach, visiting Sun Fest, exploring new restaurants, and just enjoying one another's presence.  I love spending time with my son and his family...especially our entertaining granddaughter, who made friends and fans wherever we went.  She sure is a people magnet!  LOL!!  I love to capture sunrise and sunset pictures...our lodging faced both east and west!

With a lot of medical appointments on the horizon, I don't know how much stitching I get in the near future, but I'm looking forward to putting my sore knee up and getting some rest...it was a fun, but exhausting weekend.  Hopefully I'll have more stitching to show you soon!  Happy Stitching!
