Some Weekend Stitchin'

Gentle Friends, the long weekend has come and gone, now it's officially Fall - in my mind at least!!  This is a short week for me so I shouldn't complain.  This week really is a 3 day countdown until I'm winging my way to the Aquitaine then on to Paris.  Over the weekend I went a stocked up on travel toiletries and gathered up my notes for the trip.  I never travel without a folder of information - even if I've been to a place a few times I still have my "lists" of things to see and do, and new places to eat - along with the sketchy maps I draw.  I don't like being labeled a tourist on the street, or being seen unfolding some gigantic map or travel book trying to figure out were I am or were I'm going - so I draw small maps that way I only pull a single sheet of paper out for reference, and not be so obvious...... less chance of trouble or being targeted in sketchy areas or on public transport - which happens all the time - just read some of the horror stories online. 

I've never had a problem, ever, anywhere, with anyone in all my travels - and I'd like it to stay that way - but I'm also not pushy, loud, obvious or make a nuisance of myself - as I've witnessed my fellow Americans in situations and places I've been such as...... London, Nice, Rome, Berlin and Paris - this people who I am sure, or would hope are perfectly nice folks, but they just loose it while on tour, and forget they are guests in another country and fail to remember their basic good manners...... I could go on and on....... but I've droned on enough for today.

........here's some snaps of where I'm at with the three little samplers I'm working on.........

.... Winter Wonderland......

..... Rosy Morning......

... and Summer Harvest......

I also started on an Exchange Piece for a Fall exchange, but that will have to be kept a secret until after it's sent to it's new Home.
