I think the best thing about cross stitching is that you can make small designs that stitch up very quick. I like a nice, quick project. I made a little basket for the front of a birthday card. And I'm making three small plant designs that I will hang up in my bathroom.
Birthday Family Time
We had some family time this weekend, celebrating my sis Tine's birthday. We caught an Earl's happy hour and had a big seafood platter - but Tine couldn't have any, she's allergic! Back to her place to celebrate with gifts and TWO cakes.
Anniversary
I celebrated an anniversary today: one year in my new position at UBC. Time has really flown by! To celebrate, we went out to have Ernest's Ice Cream on the weekend. Even better, our friend Jen was working and she gave us a great deal: FREE! Happy days, indeed.
Cake on pie day
I forgot to post about Pi Day on March 14! We went out for a bite but got carrot cake instead of pie. Still good! And somehow carrot cake reminds me of St. Paddy's day - it should be green 🙂
High Hopes Dolman Top
Another Ellie & Mac make, this time the High Hopes Dolman Top. I used Diana's hack to make slim sleeves and it worked out perfectly. I made shorter sleeves because I didn't have enough fabric, but I love the contrasting bands.
