I spent some time this weekend on my embroidery piece.
I learnt;
Petal Stitch and
Bullion Stitch.

Over the Labour Day weekend, I had the opportunity visit
st.jacobs country, a small beautiful town, north of Waterloo, Ontario.
I had a wonderful time browsing the through the shops, tasting some delicious food, and had a chance to explore the wonderful surroundings . I also bought few things to bring home.
locally produced honey, and apple butter..
a corn broom, which is being produced on site.
one of few stores that left in Canada.
... and couple of pieces of pottery.
yarn bowl..... what a treat :)
a sake set; love the colour, shape and the glaze work
Since, I had left my camera at home, unfortunately I do not have photographs of the trip. But, here are couple of links about the town if you are interested.
