We've been going so strong in the stitching, that the blogging has certainly fallen behind!
That's OK, if it has to be one or the other, that is definately the order I prefer!
But seeing as I am bound to voiceless tasks in between naps and medication while recovering from my tonsilectomy, I thought I would post some of the pics we've collected from the
Wednesday night Bitch and Stitches since the last post!
To start out, we had a very special B&S in January to prepare for my very rock and roll wedding reception!
And the first ever man thrown in with the Bitches was Andy! What a sport!
A special hats-off to Elaine who not only helped decorate the Windsor with us, but also put some hard work in to some very fabulous cupcakes and a super scrumptious wedding cake! Nicely done Girl!
OK after all the hullabalu, things got back to normal and here is what we've been up to lately,
I've still got that tablecloth to tackle, but the border is already done!
Sandra is trying to fill in these needle work pieces for Mothers Day! Good luck, happy stitching!
Carmen is still knitting up a storm, then undoing, then knitting more, and will one day soon start giving us tips on the fine art of crochet!
Elaine finished the knitted socks for her Mom and they are already on their way to Newfoundland. So she's been working on music homework and an adorable little knitted elephant.
Vanessa was rounding out her portfolio last we saw her, by creating an image using only Word. Tricky stuff!
I tried my hand at an Artist Trading Card the "zentangle" theme. It was fun! Then I sent it away in Swap-Bot, and am eagerly awaiting a stranger to send me their rendition!
Speaking of Swap-Bot, I recieved this FANTASTIC cupcake toppers from a woman in the US. She read my profile and saw that I liked cross stich and am recently married, so she came up with a stitched heart theme! I combined them with Elaine's winning recipe and voila! See there are perks to the Bitch and Stitch, other than getting all those crafts done!
These are a set of tea towels that I made for Brendan and Vanessa's wedding. I figured I has some time to get them done, and then those two love birds went and tied the knot faster than we realized!
(perhaps as prophesized at the Jan 1 reception?) see below:
ha ha ha ha, what a great time!
Then I also snuck in time to do this embroidery on a cloth caledar for Andy's birthday. A pretty fitting piece for the future premiere of this fine province, don't ya think?
Now, I don't know how Kara seems to evade having a pic taken of the stellar stocking she is working on taken, but we will remedy that the next chance we get. We will also need an update from Jacquie, and perhaps some pics of any newcomers who are interested in getting on board!
We also dabbled into "swapping" territory with a book swap, and I would love to propose another swap: either a clothing swap, another book swap, a cd swap, or even a general "stuff" swap! If you think you'd like to play along let's chat about it at the next B&S!
See ya then!
