Houses

Today is Sunday, and in observance of the Lord's day, I don't do any model stitching or work related to my business at all. So...I get to work on Hawk Run Hollow all day! Yippee! This is my starting point,and I will take a pic tomorrow morning to show how much I've completed. Hopefully it will be a lot, if I can keep the family distractions to a minimum!

A small Finish!

I have so many BAP's going, and model stitching which is more like work, so I just wanted to do a little quickie to bring back the joy of stitching!! I feel great, something accomplished, you know! Its small but SO cute! This is a freebie from The Workbasket. I will make it into a pin cushion.

A little more on Houses


I am really enjoying working on this! I wish I had more time to do so. I have 2 new designs coming out in April, hopefully in time for the Online Needlework Show. One is complete and just needs the rest of the charting done, and the other I am still stitching~yikes! It has a hemstitch border, and I haven't even gotten to that point yet! But its hard because as some other bloggers put it, I am "jonesing" for Hohrh! I just want this one finished and on my wall right now!!(can you hear the whine!) hehe!

My kids are home on spring break this week, which is really nice on the one hand, they sleep in! Also they are getting older and I know how much I'm going to miss them when they all go their separate ways. So I try to spend as much time with them as possible while still getting all of my work done. So far we have had all cold and wet weather. So much for getting out and doing some yard work this week!

A little progress


I had a little time between model stitching this week to work on my Golden Age Sampler. I need to really tackle the middle flower now.

My progress on the new Hawk Run Hollow!


I actually started this a few days ago when I got my new piece of linen. It is on 32ct. Sand Belfast with 2 threads of AVAS. I'm sure I will run out of AVAS but I will just have to replenish as needed. I am very happy with the coverage now.
