If you paid close attention to last week's FLW picture, today, you might notice that I have added some backstitch lines to my project. I hope to add enough outlining today to move the hoop down so I can continue the yellow columns of cross stitching. Truth be told, I find the straight lines of backstitching a bit boring...but they do add interest to the picture, so I will soldier on!
My daughter started another cityscape, and, once again, she will not tell me what city she is stitching. Any guesses?
I spent the last two days at a "Designing with Line" workshop with Jacquie Gering. I can't wait to get into my sewing room to play with lines some more. I have lots of ideas to explore! I will be doing a post about the workshop sometime in the next few days so check back for more pictures and thoughts about the workshop.
Finn and my daughter went for a walk at the dog park yesterday and Finn had a lot of FUN! I love how his ears flop around when he runs!
I have an exciting week coming up. I will be retiring on Thursday! I am looking forward to more time for creative pursuits--sewing, cross stitch, embroidery...and I want to learn to knit. I also have lots of jobs around my house that I need to tackle, and I have a growing pile of books to read as well. I don't think there is any chance of boredom any time soon!
This picture was taken at the St. Thomas Elevated Park--the first elevated park in Canada. The official grand opening was last weekend. My husband and I went for a walk there on Thursday evening at sunset so I could take some pictures.
I will be linking up with Kathy and the Slow Sunday Stitchers. Make yourself a cup of coffee or tea and take a look at what everyone is up to this week.
