It is now Saturday. Time is going so fast! No time for walking again today. We get our second free gift.
It is a drawer and a pair of scissors.
This is yesterday's gift:
Then it is time for Jackie's second class. Yeah! She has gotten her box of fibers. So we can work on the little triangular thing. I get mine all stitched.
It is so much fun to finish something. Our class is shorter today. We are done at 11 so we can go to a French restaurant, Le Yaca, for lunch. Nancy and Molly ride with us. I realize as we are driving that the restaurant is just across the street from the French bakery we went to yesterday. It is raining. I think we have the whole restaurant for our group. This is one of many tables.
We have several choices of entrees but of course, I want the salmon. It is very good. Then the dessert! Wow, they are fabulous. BFF got this one:
I get the chocolate thing.
There is a shot glass of vanilla stuff. I'm not sure what to do with it but I see people pouring it on the top so I do too. It is very good. This is a great place to eat.
We get from Le Yaca and it is time for Giulia's class. Giulia has a full box of the pottery cameos so we can exchange ours for another if we want. I can't decide and ask if I can buy another just in case but she says mine will be fine.
I work on getting my scissors case front done. I'm pretty proud of myself until Grace's friend says, Oh you changed it. No I didn't. Well, she tells me the rhodes stitches were supposed to be eyelets and the eyelet stitches were supposed to be rhodes stitches. Rats, she's right. Oh well. I like it anyway.
The back of the scissors case is just unstitched linen. Not on mine. I'm going to stitch a design on the back. I love the needlebook flower design and it will fit on the scissors case back.
Again, BFF and I are too tired to go anywhere else and we eat at the resort restaurant. They make their own root beer. I love it.

Thank you for these last few days of showing this time at `Needle Arts Festival` in Williamsburg. I feel that I could join you. Would love to come one year but too far for me. Love your gifts and enjoy what you have stitched. Looks likes a lovely group of ladies. Happy Stiching.
ReplyDeleteWere Molly and Nancy from Indiana? IF so, then they are stitchers that I met thru EGA. They are wonderful stitchers!
