Two New Starts!

My starts often come in twos. Don't ask why. Maybe because I just can't decide! I want to be working on everything at once. I decided I wanted to start a little bit of "Poinsettias and Pines" to see how it would look on the fabric I chose. I thought the fabric was 40 ct. Elegant Bean, but it is actually 40 ct. Luna. Here's my teeny, tiny start on that...


I think I'm going to like it! :) I also started "Prairie Sampler." I'm loving it so far! I just love stitching with the Belle Soie Silks. Here's my other little wip pic...


The fabric for that one is 32 ct. Vintage Examplar by Lakeside Linens. I also got a bit of stash in the mail the other day. I got "The Busy Needle" by Little House Needleworks. It's an exclusive design for The Busy Needle in Tuscon. After seeing Vonna's stitched I knew I had to have it! I got one for Susan too, for her kindness in sending out all those packages.


Well, I think that's all. I've got to get calling utility companies to have them turned on at the apartment and turned off at the house. Fun, fun! Write later!
