Tanglewood Framed! Happy Canada Day!!

Well hello everyone!

I'm officially on Summer Break!! The last day of school for me was Thursday and it was a wonderful day.  The principal and the staff gave me a lovely card and pot of flowers and told me that I was part of the family and would one day come back to them.  They are truly lovely people who I enjoyed working with immensely.  I will miss them terribly! I was also given a gorgeous bouquet of roses from the teacher I replaced.  Then to top it off, two of the ladies I first met in the district, over 4 years ago, bought me a bottle of wine with two goblets! I was a bit teary eyed to say the least of their generosity.  Now that school is over, I'm waiting to hear back from a couple of summer camps.  If I don't get the job, then I think I'll be okay over the summer since I have saved a lot from working. So hopefully things will work out! I'm sure they will!!

Remember Tanglewood? I stitched it about a year ago.  It's been awhile....I almost forgot! Well, yesterday, I went to Michael's and picked up my finished piece!!!! It looks amazing in it's frame! I am so happy I had it framed professionally.  I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Isn't it grand?!!!! We are going to place my Tanglewood in good place where all can see it's magnificence!

I forgot to post last week a picture of the lovely gifts I won from Evening Emma.  So here is a photo.  Thank you again Emma for the lovely magazine, fabric, thread and licorice!!

Just yesterday, I found out that I won a $25.00 gift card to shop at Nancy's Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe!!! How lucky am I?!! So I spent this morning perusing her online shop, which is amazing by the way, and settled on an assortment of items.  I'll show you the stash when it arrives.  Thanks again so much Nancy! She is sooooo generous!

As for stitching, there hasn't been much of that lately...but there will be!!!!!!!! I'm planning on stitching till my butt is numb next week!!! I want to start a couple of smalls and finish my secret stitching...which has been on the back burner for awhile now.  I also want to get going on my Knotgarden, even though I'm not completely set up comfortably for stitching it, I'm going ahead anyways! I did stitch a bit on Jane, so here's my gal so far.

I want to forge ahead with her and get her done!! That's my goal!!

Blog reading and commenting will be done this week too! I have over 600 posts to go through, but I want to take my time and read through the posts.  I've just hit the "A's" and hope to finish up to the "F's" today.  Can't wait to see what's been going on with everyone.

One last thing.................



HAPPY CANADA DAY TO ALL MY FELLOW CANADIANS!!!

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY TO ALL MY FELLOW AMERICANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Enjoy the holiday and happy stitching!!

Hugs

Anne and Titus

Edited: Almost forgot to mention that I was tagged by both Kaye and Jo to do that question thingy.  I will have to do a post later on this week and answer those questions thoughtfully. Kaye and Jo, I will get it done! Thanks for tagging me!!
