A Beautiful Day to Take Off!

We couldn’t have planned it better if we tried. Terry and I had already planned to take a vacation day today because we needed to take the Honda in for its state inspection (yes, we’ve had it since January; yes, we’re very lucky we didn’t get pulled over!). And it just happened to be a gorgeous day, full of sunshine, with temps in the 70’s! It is absolutely glorious outside!! 😀

It started off with me stitching for a little bit on my square for Laura’s memorial quilt. As some of you may know, I’m stitching a cameo of the face and arms of Mirabilia’s Titania, Queen of Fairies design. I actually charted it on my computer so that I could better see what I was doing and to remove the wings because in that small area, it’s not obvious that they are wings, so I focused on the body of the fairy. I need to get moving on this to get it in the mail within a week. I just arranged to stitch a model for a new designer (new in the sense that I haven’t stitched for her before) and it should be arriving sometime this week, I expect.

Otherwise, on a stitching-related topic, I finished charting up a design today that I’ve been putting off. Actually, I’ve nearly finished two. The first is a customization of one of Thea’s free angels. This is for a specific, secret round robin that I’m going to be stitching on sometime over the next few months or year, whenever it comes to me. The other is an completely original design for a hornbook. I’m almost done. The basics are there, but I need to add some decoration to it.

I’ll post more tomorrow. In the meantime, I started this hours ago, it’s now late and we need to get up tomorrow morning to go to a naming ceremony. Tah!
