Scary Book

[hildy89]

Preseason football is finally upon us. I had nearly resigned myself that the Redskins were going to have yet another miserable year, when they snatched a victory from the jaws of defeat by scoring two touchdowns at the end of the game. A "W" is a still a "W" no matter how you look at it. To my amusement, I'll be in Baltimore for the Redskins preseason game against the Ravens.

The good thing about football is I can get some needlework done. Tonight I finally finished the second Real Musgrave Pocket Dragon pattern "Scary Book". I posted "Five More Minutes" awhile back. They were both published by Crafty Capers in the early 1990s. Both count as my oldest UFOs. I lost the original patterns and never had the chance to finish them until by chance I was at Media West one year where someone was selling old cross stitch charts.

Anyway, I'm glad to have them both done.

This poor dragon has probably been rereading the same chapter for the last fourteen years!

Ah, the Pocket Dragons are adorable. Mainly I've seen them in the Dancing Dragon catalogs. I've always wanted one, but it's never worked into the budget.

My Reading Dragon icon has never been more appropriate. :)

I bought the original patterns from Dancing Dragon actually. (I adored their catalogs. I used to have quite a few of their t-shirts.) They've long since gone out of print. The figures never quite appealed to me as much.

Rather sad that the only dragon icon I have is my Maleficent ones.

I was getting the DD catalogs for several years, but I haven't had one in some time (probably because I couldn't afford to actually buy anything). I should see if I need to put myself back on the mailing list.

And I should make some dragon icons, come to think of it. :)
