WOW a week of Staycation is just wonderful... Have made some great progress on Mette... finished the row of Diamonds.. have 2 more trees till that row is complete..hope to accomplish that in the next 2 days. Then I will have reached my goal.... anything more is icing on the cake...My ultimate goal is to have her finished by the end of May... Sabine has asked if she can display my Mette at the Textile Show in Berlin in June.. What a thrill... So ... I need to have her finished in time for her to take a trip across the pond.  Will post updated pics Sat or Sun so stay tuned...
