I do have an update on stitching! I actually was able to get a few hours of stitching in the mornings done while I was waiting for my sister to get ready! While on vacation I worked on Dragon Knot 2! I am loving the way this piece is really starting to come alive! The pictures do it absolutely no justice at all! The lighting here is pretty dark since we are having an overcast day!
I've also started a new project. I know I shouldn't have but it has been calling to me! I started Nora Corbett's Holly. This picture is pretty out of focus but was the best of the many I tried to take! The picture below it is of the final product.
This weekend is my birthday weekend. My birthday is Monday, Memorial Day. So I am treating myself to a trip to a LNS in New Orleans. I am sure I will find something but just what it will be is the best surprise!
I am also going to get caught up on my sleep, get back into a routine and clean my apartment. Now a days, one needs a vacation from the vacation!

Happy Birthday a day early. Hope you have a great day and find a lot of stash at the LNS.
Your WIP's look great.
The Dragon is stitching up wonderfully! It looks great so far.
I've got Holly sitting...waiting to be started too. Now that you've started yours...maybe I should get my needle in mine as well. LOL
Are you going to the LNS on Magazine? It was where we went Pre-Katrina...not sure if they opened back up afterward or not... Garden District Needlework Shop...Lots of fun stuff was there. We also went to Gary's in Metairie.
Have a Great Birthday!
