takin' it to st.james!





Happy Birthday Breanne!

 In case you were on the edge of your seat wondering what was so under wraps in the last post, it was this lovely little  pair of vintage embroidery patterns, finished (almost) in time for Breanne's bitrthday.  Happy hunting for a hanging spot!

But now back to business, the stitching and the bitching continues!  This week in St.James.
Elaine was generous enough to offer her new digs as a home base, and what a treat it was.  They had the record player warmed up well before I arrived, and we kept it going to motivate the wok.  Scotty made a comment that we had some pretty psychodelic stitching going on when The Wall was spinning the tunes!  But we drew the line at Rush!

Anyways, it was a party of three, well four if you count Scotty (but then it starts to look like a crowded episode of Three's Company!)  Elaine knitted, I cross stitched and Sandra sketched.  It was a nicely balaned spread, really.

Conversation was lively!  All you absent stitchers missed some pretty bitchy conversations about the current school system, the much over played long gun registry, where the bodies in theBodies exhibit probably really come from, and then the good old cycle of vicitimization and abuse even crept in there!  Then somehow by the end of the night it was right down to talk of hunting spots and gun models REALLY!




This ain't your aunt Emma's bitch and stitch... so this Wednesday, Sept 29 we are headed back to St. Boniface to pick up where we left off.  Bring your needles and yarn, and all those chips on your shoulder (those without any have to then bring the Old Dutch variety!)
