Another New Start

Yep, the Stitching ADD continues. I was in a Shepherd's Bush mood. I have wanted to stitch "Sail Away" for a long time now, so I went for it the other day...

I went up to Amy's yesterday for the day to stitch and chat. We had a nice, relaxing visit. I got the latest Cross Stitch & Needlework magazine from her while there. She told me she does have more on back order. I pulled the threads for the Blackbird Design "Land of the Free" inside the magazine today.

The threads are so pretty!! I really can't wait to start this one!

Well, the boys are having a blast at Sea World right now. I do miss them so much though. I was planning on going back in a week or so, but I don't think I'll last that long. I think I may go back down in a couple days instead.

  8. Beautiful new start, Nicole! I just love that SB sampler--I love the sentiment in it. I need to stitch it at some point for my kids as they fly the nest. I NEED to start the BBD, too! Those threads are scrumptious.

  15. You are too funny! I have been trying to get my hands on that issue so I can stitch the BBD piece. The threads are just too beautiful! I ordered the mystery sampler last week. I can't wait for it to come! I like the new fabric you chose.

  21. Sail Away is one that I have had in my stash for a long time and I still just love it! Seeing yours in such pretty colors may help me to get back to some stitching. I wish I could get past my doubts as to whether my stitching measures up. Good old Pam at 3 Stitches has given me a mental block here but I really want to get back into it. It has been so hot here that I have only been doing some reading. Your stitching is awesome!
