Anyway the hotel was wonderful, the company was great, I met so many folks from all over the country, even a lady from Australia. There were about 60 of us. I got some free goodies from the trading table, and bought lots of fabric from the shop in Wlliamsburg. I only bought one pattern, Sue Hillis' Pirates Creed .

I am currently planning on the arrival of my in-laws and my baby's first birthday party on Sunday. Watch this space for cake smashing pictures.

I have 4 (FOUR!) finished cross stitched projects for you to see. The first is the above one For the Birds by the Drawn Thread. I used all the called for threads, but I don't have the charms for it. This one seemed to be a chore for me. I mean for it to be a gift but I am still unsure about how to finish it.

The next ones I have been working on for the past couple of weeks are all smalls by Prairie Schooler, I started working on the four seasonal ornaments Here is autumn:

I am working on the Summer one now. I am planning on creating a pincushion using all four of these and 2 of the past freebies from Prairie Schooler. In my mind I see this as a brick shaped pincushion with the 4 seasons as the long parts of it and the 2 freebies on the ends. They all have houses in them. I already have the 2 freebies done:
