Nothing on the Design Wall

Our Thanksgiving holiday ended yesterday morning about 9:30 AM when we hit the road to drive home.  It wasn't too bad till we had to exit 35W to 35 just north of Dallas. It was stop and go traffic a significant part the drive from Dallas to OKC.  What normally takes us about 8 hours to navigate took 11.  Other than the drive back, we had a wonderful holiday with Grad Girl.  We did small business Friday and shopped in Brenham for stocking stuffers.  Than on Saturday we went to The Texas Renaissance Festival.  

Something different for us.  Some of the attendee costumes were fantastic, though it did get hard to navigate around those with very large fairy wings in parts of the crowd.  It was a lot of fun, but boy did we walk. The grounds were huge!  

I did keep up my stitching time, over the holiday. I'd get going on my handwork just before bed and get in a few stitches, just enough to get in my 15 minutes. 

 

I filled in quite a bit of the lower wing. It doesn't look like much, but there were a lot of thread changes. 

The only other thing I worked on while we were in Texas was finishing up the design and starting to write up the documentation/instructions for the 2025 Guild BOM.  The member who has done the BOM for the last 12 years wanted a break this year. She's done some wonderful designs over the years.  But 12 years is a long time to have a block ready each month.  I'm trying something different from what she's done. Not sure it will go over well so we'll see how that goes.
