This past weekend was International Hermit and Stitch Weekend or IHSW. I am pleased to say I had a great one! Now, I will admit to snooping blogs a bit (but one has to keep up on their reader or it gets out of hand so fast) but for the most part I stitched and it was glorious. Lots of progress has been made on La D Da's A Bird in Hand:
Nina's threads are very pretty, with subtle variation in color. You can see more of them on her site ~ click here. Oh, and she is making pretty jewelry too ~ must see!
If you'd like to join us during the next IHSW it will be the 3rd full weekend in April. Click the link above for more information.

I seen seeing Nina's thread and fabrics on a few blogs recently and may well have to purchase some but I think I need to get the old needle and fabric in touch with each other first though.

Great progress! I love this overdyed color you are using for the bird :) I will have to take a further look at Nina's threads to see if I will like them more than the other ones out there! LOL
