Before I depart...

Good evening all,
Tomorrow morning the HDHBEM and I leave to drive to Wellington where my Little Sister's younger son is getting married.   It is an 8 hour drive from here and far too much for the HDHBEM to do that in one hop, so we stop off part way for one night.  
Tonight I will finish my packing, but the necessary things like needlework (two pieces just in case, as it would be terrible to run out of stitching!), books (we will be away four nights so of course I need 6 books!) and my cameras are all in the suitcase.   I must rush now to my wardrobe and dig out some shoes and a dress to wear to the wedding so I am not a disgrace to my family.  Don't worry Little Sister, I am only joking.   I promise to scrub up well enough on the day.

Over the past few nights I have managed to get this far on another M for my collection.   This is a Sajou alphabet, stitched in one strand of silk floss over two threads of antique white 36 count Edinburgh linen.  Hopefully this will be completed this weekend. 
I'll be back next week with some more photos.   Hope you all have a great weekend
