Thread Painting With Monika

Thread Painting @ Watrous
Taught by Monika

Well Monika did a great job with her thread painting class that we had here in Watrous. The ladies all did great jobs with their thread painting and I think they surprised themselves at how well they did.

some of the ladies hard at work, what to stitch next...

I have worked a little more on my Chickadee and I am  very happy with it as well.

It was great to meet Monika , we had a great afternoon together. Such a talented lady, sew glad that she shares that a little with us.

Monika and I
after the class

Thanks again Monika for coming out for the class I hope we can do it again.
Today was a different note we said good bye to a dear "uncle" a cousin to my hubby that we always called Uncle Jake. It was a celebration of his life .... 90 is a good age to get to. I was nice to see a lot of family and friends there for his family. We remember him as the voice of the Duval Expos, as well as many other stories. He would be there at every game to do all the announcing, play by plays and always a good joke.

Tonight I tried making spring rolls......

and the turned out just fine, I'll be making them again. They will make an easy lunch in the summer I think.
Well I best get a few things palnted and see if there is anything else that I can do with the camper and oh and of course get some of the class supplies in the camper too for the stitches conference is only 6 sleeps away for me.
 I will post my completed Chickadee as soon as I get her done.
