SB Finish & Stitchy Updates

The 2009 SB Fob stitched on 30 ct. Seafoam Linen over 2. I finished it about 1/2" larger than suggested so I could use as a pincushion instead of a fob.



I put in another 900 stitches on St. Nick:)

I even picked up Mary Wigham again. Stitched over one and loving her!!

Ahhh...the pillowcase. Almost finished with the FIRST one:)

Saturday Mr. Right and I went to Gruene....5 minutes from our home. We hit all our favorite antique shops and the Gruene (pronounced green) Market Days. Every 3rd weekend of each month, vendors set up booths and sell their crafts. We also ate at the Gruene River Grill....AWESOME. But after all the shopping, we headed here:


"Gruene Hall is legendary. Not just because it's the oldest, continually operating dance hall in the state of Texas, but also because it has served as both a starting point and a warm limelight to some of the most prolific talent in American history. It has helped launched the careers of such musicians as George Strait, Lyle Lovett and Hal Ketchum, among others. This famous stage has also welcomed the likes of Bo Diddley, The Dixie Chicks, Jerry Lee Lewis, Garth Brooks and Willie Nelson. Gruene Hall has gone from hosting badger fights in the 1870s to being featured in such notable publications as Forbes, Newsweek and Women's Wear Daily. It has been the site of famous birthdays, such as baseball great Nolan Ryan's 50th, and the location of numerous music videos, commercials and movies. Of special note, the dance scene for the movie "Michael" starring John Travolta was filmed at the Hall."

Listened to a great band, drank a beer....


...and then we headed back to the old folk's home:)

Have a blessed week everyone!
