I just realize that this is mine 200th post. Been blogging for two years and nine months. I look back to see what was mine first post was and it was a beaded square for breast cancer. I have completed another square a bird theme this year I have yet to take a picture. The square is at home and I am not. I started the blog to help to keep track of what I stitch. Will add picture when I get home. Bead and Button is doing the square this year.

So close to being finish. Just need to transfer the design to the black background then the gold-work. I will wait until Nov. for class. I need help to remember the best way to transfers. What I have done before I did not like what I did because it was had to get the gold work to look right. I wish their was an easy way to do it or just paid someone to do transfer then I do the gold.

Naples - Stash one

Bought in Boutique Golden Needle. Now tonight is Merchandise Mania! only 35 different booths to shop at. Need to look over the list to see what they are selling so I know what booths to stop at. It is crazy before they open the doors with waiting in line so I will wait in my room if I can not find a place to sit.
