because I'm going on holidays! Just for a week at the beach.... to sit on a balcony and sit and sit and sit.... to watch the ocean come and go.... and maybe take a quiet stroll on a quiet sandy beach with my quiet man who I adore.... the same one who said 'please don't take any stitching'....
Hhhmmmm.... a whole 8 days without stitching - how rude!! Maybe I'll get up in the middle of the night and do some secret stuff.... Do you think he'd divorce me? How will I cope without stitching for a WHOLE 8 DAYS!!! Maybe I'll do some in the car while he drives the four hours there and four hours back again....
Anyway, Madamoiselle Celeste Bouquet is feeling rather naked without her little pearls of backstitch. It's just not acceptable.... So I'll be taking her along for the ride, I think she'll like the beach :-)
and the other important thing is that there's only 4 more sleeps until I show you 'Bed n Breakfast' - it's block 3 :-)
Can I come too? Sounds like a wonderful vacation. Have fun.

You need a vacation just like all of us do...and at the beach WOW. If you can't stitch at least you can draw for the next patterns you would want to share. Can't wait for #3.

Hi, How do you start a stitch, with a small knot? How do you end, again with a small knot? The back of my stitchery looks so messy. Any suggestions?
Greatly appreciate any help you can give me.
Thank you,
Sonja
