Hello everybody and Happy Sunday !! Aren't you all glad that tomorrow is a holiday? I love long weekends. I am always able to relax a lot more and, of course, I have lots more time to dedicate to my cross stitching. I have been working like crazy on my Angel Band Sampler and I thought I would show you my progress. I have finished the two first parts and I have a third left before I complete the satin stitches and finish it. It is a fun little sampler and I love the contrast in colors. I changed the blue that it asked for originally and chose a darker blue that shows better. I like the change and can't wait to finish it. This will be the first sampler I've stitched, so I am very excited about it.
Hola queridas amigas, Feliz Domingo !!! Mañana es fiesta aquí en Estados Unidos y yo estoy tan contenta. Me encantan los fines de semana largos. Me relajo muchísimo y puedo dedicar todo el domingo a hacer lo que mas me gusta: punto de cruz. He estado bordando mi Angel Band Sampler como una loca y quiero enseñaros lo avanzado que lo llevo. He terminado las dos primeras partes y me queda una tercera antes de terminarlo todo. Es un Sampler muy divertido de bordar y me encanta el contraste de colores. He cambiado el color azul por uno un poco mas oscuro, ya que el original que llevaba casi no se veía. Este es mi primer Sampler y me hace mucha ilusión terminarlo.
I like the colors in the angel to the right, the one to the left is a bit more boring :-) So far they have no eyes, but they will soon !!
Me gustan los colores del angel de la derecha, el de la izquierda es un poquito mas monotono y aburrido :-) De momento no tienen ojos, pero pronto los tendrán !!!
And this is it for now..... The last weekend in September I'll be in Utah at the Shepherd's Bush retreat... I can't tell you how super excited I am to go. This is my first time and I've heard so many wonderful things about it. I'll be going by myself and, once there, I'll hook up with my sweet friend Katrina. I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait......
I love the way the blue contrasts with the other colors. I am glad I chose a darker one. It shows so much better than the original it asked for.
Me encanta el contraste del azul con los otros colores. Creo que el cambiar al color azul mas oscuro fue una decisión acertada. Queda mucho mejor que el original.
Below is a Lizzie Kate I finished today also. Did I mention that I love long weekends because I can spend the Sunday cross stitching and finishing? :-) :-) This will most definitely hang somewhere in my home..... but then again, I will probably end up giving it away as a gift to somebody dear to me.
Este es un modelo de Lizzie Kate que he terminado hoy también. ¿Os he dicho que me encantan los fines de semana largos porque tengo tanto tiempo para bordar y terminar los bordados?? :-) Esto lo voy a colgar en algún sitio en mi casa....... aunque, al final, lo mas probable es que se lo regale a alguna querida amiga.

Pues esto es todo por ahora.... El ultimo fin de semana de Septiembre me marcho a Park City, Utah al Retreat de Shepherd's Bush. No os podeis imaginar la ilusión que me hace. Esta es la primera vez que voy y todo el mundo me dice lo maravilloso que es. Voy yo sola y allí he quedado con mi querida amiga Katrina. Que ilusión, que ilusión, que ilusión..... !!!
I hope you enjoy the rest of your long weekend and stitch a lot. Thanks so much for stopping by, it means the world to me. I'll be back soon, until then...... keep stitching happily !!

I didn't realize that you lived in CO. It's such a pretty state, I have often thought it would be great to live there. Do you see the mts where you live?
