Did not realize it was Saturday nor that I have not prepared a posting. Just returned from a wonderful runaway to upstate New York with friends, including my daughter! What a treat. Such lovely people and surrounded by lots of beautiful nature in the Finger Lakes Seneca Lake region! WOW!
Here are some pictures of the lake - the bottom ones are of the sunrise on our last day there.
This is the only picture that I think we have of the entire group of us together at the farewell dinner so to speak. And in spite of this breathtaking beauty around us we did manage to get some stitching done.
We also dropped in to Lori's shop and left a little there to help out the economy. Teresa had already checked out and was busy shopping down the street and Mike was taking the picture so some of the group is missing from the payout que!
So, back in Kentucky and reality and ready to play on my upcoming adventures.
Registration is open and running for the next Online Mystery Class - Santa's Rewards.
I am very excited to start this guy! He is so wonderful - happy, cheerful and yummy! Invoices will be going out the first of October and the first lesson is scheduled to begin November 15. Join us by emailing me at duodesignsinc@yahoo.com. 6 lesson packet is $150 and you get your canvas and materials from your local needlework shop!
Next up is this delightful Large Easter Rabbit from Brenda Stofft!
This great fellow is currently under registration and will have invoices sent out the first of December. The first scheduled class will be January 15, 2017. Look at all the fun we are going to have with this stuff - can you see beads? ribbon? velvet maybe? oh gosh! Again, just email me at duodesignsinc@yahoo.com and we'll put you on the notification list for the class.
Soon to be released is the 2017 Online Mystery Class Lineup! You won't want to miss this.
Now to keep me from getting bored, we are also working on our fantastic Riverboat Stitching Cruise along the Po River in Italy! Party on the Po will begin on October 19, 2017 through October 29, 2017 - oh my! In addition to all the wonderful included excursions such as viewing The Last Supper by DaVinci, walking Juliet's Courtyard, traveling the Grand Canal, Venice, Burano, etc., etc., there will be an exclusive optional canvas designed for us to debut on this journey. There are also ornaments in the making. For details on this adventure email me at duodesignsinc@yahoo.com or go visit our blogspot at www.needlesnfins.blogspot.com to see the full brochure and details. Right now the cruise line is offering free airfare for eligible participants.
And for our landlubbers per their request, we have a lovely Have a Blast in Boston tour scheduled for June 8-13, 2017. In addition to see the historical sites we will be visiting some local needlework shops and having classes with a design created exclusively for our debut, as well as other area related projects for mini-classes. The itinerary is being polished for this one but major details are available at the www.needlesnfins.blogspot.com with questions to duodesignsinc@yahoo.com.
So come visit and let me know if there are any questions that we may address. Just an aside the riverboat cruise that started with 130 staterooms is now below 30 available (no they are not all stitchers - we currently have 36 in our party)! Fun!
Have a great week!
Sandy
