Sorry!

I'm so sorry I've been so quiet! It's been a busy few weeks with school starting. On top of school starting there have been two dentist appointments for me and doctor appointments for the kids. Hurricane Irene skirted right by us and we only got a tiny bit of rain and wind. I feel so bad for those who severely affected by the storm! My heart goes out to you all.

Well, I have been stitching some. I started a new sampler! It's The Scarlett House's "Sarah Elizabeth Brooke." I got the pattern directly from Tanya and I started it right when it came in the mail.

40 ct. Vintage Homespun by Lakeside Linens, Belle Soie silks (1 over 2).

I'm loving it!! The colors are so pretty - I really love the red building (maybe a school?).

Well, nothing going on here this weekend. Just lots and lots of laundry! There's so much more now that Matthew is in school too! :) I'm getting ready to add some things to my sale page. I'll post when I have it all on there. Hope you all have a great Labor Day weekend!

  16. Ahh, that is just so lovely - fallish and peaceful.

    What is it about these colors, and blue morning glories (growing among the weeds in my flower bed) that take me back to the September days of school starting when I was a child?
