Myrtle Beach

I just got back from a great weekend at the Cross Stitch Pals retreat in Myrtle Beach.  I believe this was my forth time attending at it was so much fun!  It was so good to see everyone again.  It was cloudy and rainy, but it didn't matter - it was perfect stitching weather!

View from my room Saturday morning

I didn't get many pictures at all. I was too busy stitching, talking, and laughing! I did get a picture of a finish I had while there...

With Thy Needle & Thread "August Word Play"

Fabric: 40 ct. Vintage Pecan Butter

Threads: GAST

Started: 8/13 - Finished: 10/19/13

I got a Job (almost)!

I'm sure you all have noticed that I made my blog private (I have decided to reopen my blog as of 10/29/13).  I made that decision because I was in the process of getting job (which I have now gotten).  I have been stitching and knitting a little bit.

I started Paulette's 1837 Crown Sampler using Katrina's conversion a few weeks ago.

And I have been slowly working on August Word Play (we'll see if I can finish before October).

I have also been knitting dishcloths and socks.  Only the socks haven't quite been working out.  I have been mainly ripping.  I did finish one, but it was a little tight.

In other news... I found a knitting and stitching group near me.  It has been so nice to meet up with people nearby!  Well, hopefully, it won't take me so long to update again (I've been saying that a lot lately).
