Good day all. This was my first weekend to participate in IHSW and I have to say I loved it! It was nice to get down and just stitch, even though I didn't really start until Saturday evening. I had to run around after the dentist and pick up a few more items for my giveaway and have tea with my Nana at Murchies. I am pretty happy with my progress I made on Sunday. Between doing laundry and other chores, I managed to get the edging done on the biggest branche in Tanglewood and almost finished another branch!! Whoohoo! I decided to plus away at the Queen's Sampler too when I needed a break from all those browns in Tangelwood. It was nice to switch back and forth from tiny count to bigger count. Although on Saturday night, I made an error in miscounting by 1 thread in the Queen's Sampler and had to rip out the letters "ELIZA" the next day. Quite irritating because I wasted a bunch of red silk :( I am looking forward to seeing everyone's progress and will be checking throughout the day.
LAST DAY TO ENTER GIVEAWAY!!
I added some DMC threads to the prize and a special tea from a Canadian company. It's one of my favourite non-caffeinated teas so I hope the winner will enjoy it. I will do the drawing tomorrow night after work so good luck to all!!

Love both of your stitching! Great idea to switch back and forth between the two! I really like the Tanglewood, as I have never seen it before. I feel for you on your miscount, I had quite a few of those last weekend.
You are doing a wonderful job. I had tea at a Murchies in Victoria, loved their Mrs Gray. Hope you had a nice tea with Nana.
