Because I have nothing else going on.....

I have decided to start something new and restart something old. I'm in Fredericksburg, Virginia with the kids. We got here about 6 pm. Before leaving I kitted LHN's new design "Starr of Mine" from The Gift of Stitching. I decided to put in a couple stitches tonight....

Starr of Mine start

I mean I literally put a couple of stitches in it (4 1/2 to be exact). I decided to go with one of my favorite linens 32 ct. Vintage Examplar.

The project I have decided to restart is Mary Wigham (I know I restart way too many things - it's definitely a sickness). I saw these silks (scroll down) on Stef's blog and fell in love. And I decided to start from the bottom, which is my favorite place to start. :)

Well, we have a big day tomorrow, so I guess I should get some sleep. I'm hoping I'll have internet in NY, but I'm not sure yet. So I'll write when I can! :)

  2. I think you're brave and incredibly bold to restart projects. I love that when something isn't exactly how you want it, you just go ahead and make it how you want it. I am so not that brave!

  12. I can't believe that you restart projects! I have a tendency to throw them against the wall if I don't like them. Those silks are gorgeous, so I think I can understand why you want to restart! Have fun in NY!
