Sarah Elizabeth and a Basket

Here is my current progress on Sarah Elizabeth Brooke.  I got the second story stitched while I was in Myrtle Beach.

Sarah E. Brooke

The Shaker Lady came to Myrtle Beach again.  I couldn't resist last year and I couldn't resist this year either.  I ended up getting this beautiful Shaker Basket.  I think it will go really well with my tray.

Well, I've been pretty busy this week with a class party, a field trip, a parade and field day.  I'm so ready for the weekend!  I hope to get started on the third story of Sarah E. Brooke.  My dad and his wife will be coming on Sunday, so I'll be doing a lot of cleaning too!!

I really love your Sarah, but i think I'm working on too many samplers with huge houses right now. I need to finish a few of them before building another house.

Your Shaker basket is wonderful. I have a few boxes, and mainly use them for display, but my smallest one is what I use as an ort container.

I don't know which is prettier... Sarah or your basket! I wouldn't have been able to resist the basket either. And seeing your beautiful stitching makes it hard to resist Sarah Elizabeth Brooke as well. Have a great weekend!

Hi Nicole. It is so much fun seeing your Sarah Elizabeth Brooke progress. You have gotten so much done on it and it is so pretty! I don't have near as much yet on the building but I am loving the bricks. I hope to get the first story on top done soon. We have been riding the scooters lots but it has gotten colder so maybe I will get more stitched on mine this weekend. You do inspire me looking at yours and I love your basket too!!!
