SSSSHHHHhhhhh!!!!

I have been quiet. It is not that I haven't been stitching, I have been working diligently. It's just that WHAT I'm working on is a secret! I'm terrible at keeping secrets of the good kind, so I don't know how long I will be able to last. But I will have big news soon!


Here is my progress on CHS primitive stocking. So close, so close!(just trying to distract you there!)

She done me proud!

Wow! These are pictures of Cassandra, a cat doll made from my pattern F121~Angeline! Isn't she wonderful! This cat was made by Joyce Tenay of Ragpatch Primitives. I LOVE her addition of whiskers! What a great idea! You can see Joyce's doll at auction here.

French Country House SAL

I am seriously considering joining this free online SAL from French designer Maryse. The progress pics of those who are working on it are very sweet! I like it as all one piece with the block lines in between. The reason I find this so appealing, other than the charming designs, is that it looks like sucvh a quick stitch every month. Just one little house. I think I could actually handle that! Here is the link to Maryse's blog with all the free charts and explanation. Anyone care to join me?

And here is a link to the babelfish translater page if you don't read French!

Check out all the new wares this month on Simply Primitives.com. A new issue is released every 1st and 15th of the month!

Berries Update!

Just finished this one off this afternoon, what a fun and quick stitch! I am tempted to buy some more of these chart packs. At first I was going to finish this as a pinkeep, but now I'm thinking I will get the rest of the fruit chart packs and frame them for my kitchen. They would really be cute done that way.

Berries by LHN

Last night I needed a BAP break, so I started Berries by Little House Needleworks. This is one of the threadpacks that I bought at my LNS sale on Superbowl sunday. I am using 1 thread on 32 ct. linen. I'm not sure what linen it is, something I pulled from my stash. But it feels stiff like a Wichelt. I am such a Lakeside junkie now, I don't really like the stiff linens as much anymore. Unless it is a band sampler on scroll rods or something.
