While Julia was visiting…she jotted down stitch guides to go with these canvases along with pulling all the threads, etc! Call to order canvas with guide or canvas with guide and threads!
This is my story…last you heard from me Julia was in town and I was going to post photos of the classes/activities while she was here! Well first of all I discovered shortly after that post that my camera was broken…I mean would not turn on or off! Fortunately I have a new phone with camera capabilities so I managed to get a few! Julia arrived Wednesday night (scheduled to leave Sunday! Thought to myself “hope I survive!”)…We went straight from airport to meet two of my sons for dinner and naturally they had us laughing most of the time!! Thursday was full of stitch guides for some great canvases in the shop which I will post shortly. Thursday also was slated for private appointments with Julia, too! After a full day of stitch guides and appointments we headed to City Grill (for locals “need I say more?”)
City Grill
After a bottle of a delicious Pinot Noir and the most fabulous meal ever, we headed home to prepare for the next two days of embellishing!!!
Oh but let’s not forget our trip to the BISCUITS …while Kathy distracted the guard at the parking lot, Julia and I made our way to the ticket office to try to get our tickets without me having my ID… but we managed to park and get our tickets and Julia made her way to bond with BIG MO in preparation of her debut in June! Yes if you have not heard JULIA SNYDER will be ‘tossing’ out the first pitch at the BISCUITS game June 8th!! The Needle Bug Night Out at The Biscuits! I will post ticket form next!
VIDEO to Follow!!
LET THE FUN BEGIN!!! Today Julia will see private appointments throughout the day, tomorrow and Saturday, she will embellish for the day!! I will make a point to post some photos from these three days filled with great stitching fun!! Stay tuned!
