Another New Start...

Yes, I seem to have startitis.  It started back in May and hasn't let up.  I'm blaming it on the stress - it makes me do crazy things! :)  Anyway,  I ended up starting the main sampler in the Blackbird Designs Sarah's House leaflet, which is also named "Sarah's House" a few days ago.  I also ended up going with the silks.  I just couldn't resist them.  I had all of them except for one and I picked that up at my LNS (Silk Road Needle Arts) near my mom's house.

Silk threads for Sarah's House

Sarah's House Sampler
40 ct. Vintage Examplar, Various silk theads (1 over 2)

I was so happy when that border matched! :)  Just a couple more weeks and we'll be headed back to South Carolina.  I'm so sad to be leaving Florida, but happy to get the kids back to their schools and their routines.

  3. I know those funks all too well - I agree with you that it might be the stress getting to you. I'm finding it hard to sit down and stitch because it's so sunny here right now! But I think today I'll indulge myself :) I will enjoy seeing this one finished, the colors are very lovely.

  18. yum...yes those silks are so pretty! Great matching up - do you hold your breath until you get that last stitch in? Maybe we'll get to have a little GTG when you get settled back in.
