EGA National Seminar, Day 1

I've been mulling over a longer blog post, but the simple truth is that I underestimated how exhausting full day-embroidery seminars could be. This is not surprising considering this is my first Embroider's Guild of America seminar and I am a newbie at this kind of thing.  At the end of my first day, there is barely a mull or a coherent sentence left.   I am enjoying myself however, and have to thank my mom for roping me into this.

 

Hopefully I will get settled, or I will be a basket case at the end of 5 days.  In lieu of many words, I will just share a few photos from the last 24 hours:

My lunch, crab salad made from Texas Gulf coast crabs, the thought of which brings back fond memories of crabbing with my grandfather.

    I know you’re having a wonderful time. What a fun event to attend with your Mom. I look forward to hearing all about it when you’re able to catch your breath and look back on it.

    The embroidery pattern is beautiful. And I’d be a basketcase after 5 minutes;). Go you!

    Thank you Lana. It is proving to be a good jump-start on something I wanted to do but didn’t know how to begin.

    Well, there was a lot of mindless television after long days of detail work. Better than mental static however, at least so I hope.
