I don't know why some of the HTML code shows up here... it looks correct in my edit screen... hopefully the button will work for you!
I love Fridays, because on Fridays I stitch on Convent's Herbal Garden... tonight was no exception. This is a very fun stitch, despite having to keep flipping through the chart pages to find where I am :-)

I was high bidder today for this collection of fantasy charts. I want the Romeo & Juliet one by Teresa Wentzler and the Black Swan Stocking. If you see any of these that you have been wanting, please let me know! I have most of them already and will be happy share them with those who want them! (The one you cannot make out at all is Three Gates by Dragon Fire Designs, and the one in the upper left corner is Esmeralda by Truswell Designs).

I've been wanting to stitch another sampler soon, and am feeling like the one I most want to start is Garden Spot Sampler by Samplers and Such. With autumn and then winter approaching, I thought that at least stitching flowers would keep my spirits up :-) So, I ordered the silk conversion pack from Hand Dyed Fibers (Victoria Clayton) today. Now to select a nice linen....
And he does it again! Ryan Newman won his third consecutive Busch Series race tonight! This time in Bristol, Tennessee.... however, still no Nextel Cup wins :-( Wonder how tomorrow night will be.... seems both Greg Biffle and Kevin Harvick are whining about Ryan's restarts tonight... Harvick holds grudges... will he take them out on Ryan tomorrow? My guess... yep, probably. It is time for NASCAR to do something about Harvick's temper and bad attitude! Anyhow, woo hoo and congratulations to Ryan!! (Photo is from www.nascar.com).

Red Sox 9, Tigers 8... they won tonight, but they are really struggling right now... pitching is terrible, and both Ortiz and Ramirez are pretty much slumping in the hitting department.... hope that will change soon!

Stitched on today: Convent's Herbal Garden

Convent Herbal Garden is so beautiful. In the center of my parents' town, Lille, there is a beautiful convent that has had such a garden for centuries and centuries... It grows medicinal herbs. (the convent used to be a hospital as well) I always think of it when I see your Convent Garden!

Those are great charts! Are you serious about sharing? That Esmeralda is so beautiful. If you are sure you don't want it and if no wants it, I'd love to have it! But only if you're sure you're ready to part with it...

Hope you enjoy the wedding today!

Couldn't read the name, but from what I saw of the picture it looked like the one I mentioned. Looked up the other one...that dragon is used in almost the same postion in both.

But I will take the Blackwork Dragon if she hasn't been claimed....

just let me know how you want me to give it to you.
