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?

Berries Update!
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqA9rMwgk-iW-WVHTbRYlJC3Fjnt5kMBX-VL0UCSr87yzaBRgleo0JTmTgG4v9qFFbS26VYAw5Yczmj1Zl4buiT9ASvjvcWDW713OFuaZMfrp9RGdKOfs9mmPeeg4hQpB5pVxTyo2PX-4/s400/lhn-berries.jpg)
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
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs70fq8xI_7dgwv6WqYsXG0WhJRTLWh_s5qr01OfRH9SZacSSa5znk1-iW0nnyc2ivwkQdFry2wZI1hBIA_F3zjYcmEV1wJdS9HeHShOCjpWvITk9EnZyXTszYnioOnFcVU6k-dOi1JJk/s400/LHNberrieswip.jpg)
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.
HOHRH WIP update

One of my goals for February is to finish house #3. I am getting there, but I haven't had as much time as I had hoped to work on it. This weekend prominses to be busy as well, so we'll see if I can make the deadline. I am really enjoying this stitch, and I'm so glad I got the AVAS, as they are a pleasure to work with.

Here is a cool chart!

My weekend hasn't been as productive as I had hoped. The kids are off school today for Presidents Day, so it is a long weekend. I feel like all I have done is clean the same areas over and over, while they just come right behind me and mess it up again! Oh well!
I am still plugging away on the third house of HOHRH. I am almost done with it. The new charts for Mary Beale's Days of Advent came out-they are lovely. I don't know when I will be getting back to this one as I am so involved in other things. I only have the first block done, and I am finding the chosen fabric hard to work on. I wish I would have gotten a Lakeside Linen for this. I am considering a fabric change before I go any further, but that means I will have to stitch Adam and Eve over again. That just makes me want to throw the whole thing into the WIP pile! Yikes!
