I have wing!

My fairy is looking a little more corporeal after some time spent on the inside of her wing this weekend --

I think I will go back over the teal parts of the wing spots and make then actual "x" stitches. I was working in some bad lighting and hadn't really noted how sketchy the coverage was. Oh well.... what's a couple more hours on a wing here and there?

So sorry ya'll couldn't make it to the powwow this weekend. It was a simply beautiful weekend for it! I actually left powwow before the end because I got cold. lol I know that makes not sense to those of you who picked up MORE snow this weekend, but in CA mid-April could be 80+ degrees. We had sunshine and light winds -- enough to blow some vendors around and whip the flags quite nicely --

You really should have been there. You'd have had fun -- shopping, sunshine, fry bread, ahhhh the joy.

Oh, and in other happy news I came back to stash in the mail.

That definitely improves a Monday no end.

Just finished: Jim Butcher's Storm Front -- now I know why the Harry Dresden book fans were so pissy about the Dresden Files on the SciFi Channel.
Currently in process: Rex Stout's If Death Ever Slept; Jasper Fforde's The Fourth Bear
Thinking about starting: Roger Zelazny's Lord of Light; Charline Harris' Dead until Dark; Hal Clement's Mission Gravity; or any one of a dozen more. So many choices!

What a lovely wing it is! Do you have pictures of the dancers or did you not take pictures out of respect?
