Worn Out!

I am worn out from this weekend! You wouldn't think stitching all day would make someone so tired! I'm sure part of it has to do with Matthew waking up at 5:45 am everyday. I don't think he's gotten used to daylight savings yet! Anyway, I had so much fun at my Susan Greening Davis class. The project is beautiful and not extremely hard. I think I may actually get this one finished! Here are some pics...


The view outside our classroom. So pretty!


The main part of the project. A beautiful shaker carrier. This is not mine, but a fellow stitcher's.


The lid of the Shaker box. This is Susan's finished project.


The inside of the box. I'm not sure if I'm going to line my box. I hate to put glue on it!


Needleroll. The linen is linen banding, so no sewing required - how awesome is that?? :) There is a also a little ruler you stitch that rolls up too. I didn't get a picture of that. It's also done on linen banding.


A little bit of what I had done. I've almost got the pin cushion finished too!

Martha and Anita (I think that's her name). I'm so bad with names!


Watching them glue!


Martha - checking out all the goodies!


More Goodies!


Well, that's all! I had so much fun and was so glad Susan put me by Martha. She's such a great person! :)

Oh, I did finish up Curly Q on Friday. I love it, but I am so glad it's done. I was actually thinking of framing this one! :)

  3. Congratulations on finishing Curly Q - very cute!

    The class looks divine. I have a Shaker Box - I might have to look at lining it and making it pretty!

    I love the pink Ott light! I know it's not yours, but I've got to find me one of those!

    I'm glad you had fun at your class.

  12. Wow! Bet you had fun at your class. I'd love to go to one. Thanks for the invite to the LNS's :) I have never really been down the West coast - only the east! I have visited a LNS in Largo and one in Dunedin. The one in Largo doesn't have much of a selection =/ The one in Dunedin has a nice selection, but I think the prices are a little high. I think I get way better deals online!

    Maybe we can get together sometime after the New Year. I am going to be pretty busy every weekend until then. Plus, I have *SO* many things to stitch before Christmas. Not sure how I'm going to get it all done!
