This last Tuesday was our annual challenge reveal in Mülheim . . . what a wonderful day. The picture above was a peak through Gila’s studio window as we gathered around a merry table to chat, stitch and share.
We all took home a little pile of fun and festive things. Here’s a peak at what stoodThis year many of us did bring yummies to share and we feasted on a gorgeous and very festive beet salad with apples and walnuts, smoked trout, a cheese board and variety of bread plus broccolli salad and pumpkin pie from the Goldschmidt kitchen and of course cake - to celebrate Gila’s December birthday.
Gila also unwrapped her birthday blocks - this year we each gave each other one block following a set of guidelines, I’ll tell you more about those later in January. Our challenge next year is to do actually do something with the blocks . . .
The culmination of the day was to “reveal” our challenges for this year - our theme was “CRAZY.”
Unfortunately, I had a bit of a “where is it” problem. With all my to’ing and fro’ing, I couldn’t the piece I wanted to use. It was a Christmas-themed crazy in Reds, Greens and Golds. I had made tons of progress and wanted to finish it off in an unusual way . . . but lo and behold - I could not find it anywhere.
Searching through my studio I was berating myself out loud and at one point mumbled “this is just plain crazy, there’s no way I have time for *another* project.” Well, that thought led to another and the phrase “Just Plain Crazy” stuck in my head big time. So . . . yes, I started another project. Of course this is as far as I got. Of course, there was quite a chuckle as I pulled piece by piece out of my basket.
