California Fun

While I watched the 

runners last weekend, 

I took advantage of the warm weather,

quiet surroundings,

and embroidered on 

Crabapple Hill's pattern,

 Sweet Violettes

It's amazing what you can 

accomplish when you are alone
in the hills of Sonoma, with only
300 runners and crews.

With the coloring all done,

 it was pretty easy stitching.

But, beware, a dangling french knot 

can always be a threat.

Besides waiting and stitching,

Running Man and I took some extra time to enjoy some 

fabulous meals.

The bread and pastries

  and sandwiches
from

Tartine's Breads in San Fransisco.

Italian dishes at

Bottega's in Yountville,

owned by Micheal Chiarello.

And we can never leave the city

without stopping by Yang Sing's for

 

 dim sum.

It was a perfect weekend

get away!

Until Next Time-
