What a week!
I made progress on my blackwork. I'm all caught up but tomorrow a new block comes out. I will be ready for it. I didn't think that this week's block was hard but I still messed it up a couple of times. Perhaps I let my guard down (let my brain drift away). Nothing too bad and you'd have to look pretty closely at it to see here I messed it up.
The blackwork isn't the only thing that I worked on. I finally got Lilly fused down but it took me more than one try.
As you can see, I didn't throw away my mistakes. The dragon on the left, underneath the eagle, was a mistake. The eagle is also a mistake that I decided to keep. I believe that I will be working on an island of misfits. Those two will be used in that. Not sure who else will join them but I don't have a specific time or person that I am going to send it to so there is plenty of time.
I did have a surprise this week. My friend Connie, who I used to work with at NIU in Illinois, came down to take me to dinner. I still can't believe that her and Wes drove all that way in one day but I was sure glad to see them. It was fun catching up with them. Have fun on the erst of your vacation Connie and Wes!
I know I'm jumping all around on topics in this post but I know my readers are nice people and will forgive me. :) I just remembered that I wanted to share with you what Craftsy says various sizes for baby blankets should be. I can't say that I agree, or disagree even, with them but I thought I'd share it with you and let you decide.
You all know how much I love dragons so it isn't a surprise that when I see a cute meme featuring a dragon, I'd have to post it. Ta Da!!!! Isn't this little dragon so cute?
I hope everybody has a good week and I'll share other updates next week.

Bonni it was super sweet of Connie and Wes to come visit. What a wonderful surprise!
I love the Dragon quote, fits you perfect. Keep that light of yours shinning!
You are doing an amazing job on your blackwork. Mine has been placed on hold I will probably pick it up again when the weather gets cooler. I need to figure out how to place those Dragons along the side. I hope my Aida is large enough. If not I will use them on something else.
Thanks. There is no urgency to get it done. Hehehe. My light will shine for a log time yet. :) I'm afraid that you're stuck with me for a bit yet. I'm sure your Aida will be large enough. I'm surprised at how much Aida I have left on mine.
Hang in there my friend.
