working + playing + eating = no stitching

last weekend we had the pleasure of experiencing a marathon stitch sesh. we started the day with a lovely brunch by kintea, took a couple hour break (some napped, some strolled, others prepped for what was to come), and then covered karen's basement with paint (of course, mr. sato helped, too).

to rid us of the paint fumes and to take advantage of what remained of the glorious day, we took a long walk on the beach, which included mr. sato, running, educational moments, and a near-pick up when a couple boys asked for a couple girls' names.

to top off the wondrous day, there was much eating, drinking, and tv, yet not much stitching--WAIT--i forgot: maux's impressive stitchery was put on display as she is nearly finished with an adorable dress that has wowed all of us. 3 cheers for maux!
