Candy Tin

I love these German candy tins. They're perfect for tucking a small project in my purse. This one has a piece Vellux blanket glued inside. Great for those small Mill Hill bead kits. 

And I just finished the stitching on my Eyeball Martini! 

 

Sewing Wild Oats

 Last week I went to my guild's retreat for the first time since 2019.

We hold this at Graves Mountain Lodge in Syria, Virginia. Where the views are terrific and the food is incomparable. 

We were a small, but dedicated band of stitchers.

I started and finished a Lindy Stitches design. Worked on a painted canvas. Started a small painted canvas and put in a few stitches on a Mill Hill kit.

It felt so good to be back. The lodge has upgraded the wifi and made improvements to the rooms. But Margie is still in charge of the kitchen, though she's talking about scaling back. 

We'll be going back next year. And I am planning on being there.
