Beneath the Sunlit Sky Finished!

I got it finished up last night while listening to The DaVinci Code (I think I may be the last person on earth to read it)! My dh's flight was canceled, so I stayed up way too late again stitching. :) He's on his way home now though. I'll pick him up after the kids get out of school. Anyway, here are some pics of the finished design...

Well, I'd better get back to my housework - lots of laundry to fold and bathrooms to clean (what's new?)! :) Write soon!

A little more BtSS

I stitched a little on "Beneath the Sunlit Sky" this weekend...

Not the greatest picture - this fabric is hard to photograph and I was lazy about ironing! :) Hope you all had a nice Memorial Weekend. The kids and I just hung out - didn't do much at all. We're all looking forward to dh coming home tomorrow. Thank you for all the kind comments for dh's family. They are much appreciated!

BtSS Start!

I got started on "Beneath the Sunlit Sky" Last night. I'm loving it so far. :)

I had a comment in my last post about when I find the time to stitch. Well, I stitch anytime I can. When my son is napping, while the kids are playing, while we are watching T.V. and at night when they're sleeping (I usually stay up until 10-11 pm). I just find time here and there, I fit it in whenever I can. It's not always easy, but for me it's therapy! It keeps me sane! :)

Well my dh had to go out of town today. He received some sad news yesterday. His cousin's son passed away from cancer. He was only 17. It's just so sad. I can only imagine what his aunt's and cousin's family must be going through. I'm so glad he was able to go up there and be there for them in whatever way he can. Just another reminder of how precious life is and not to take it for granted! Off to hug my kids again! Write later!

My New Start Will Be....

Blackbird Designs "Beneath the Sunlit Sky." An oldie, but a goodie. :) I have had this pattern kitted ever since it came out (almost two years ago) and while searching for something new to stitch I came across it. I decided to use different fabric though. I had it kitted with Platinum Belfast and I decided to go with 32 ct. Purely Primitive by Silkweaver instead. I actually started a tiny bit last night, but had to rip it out because I started in the wrong spot. You'd think after all these years I would know where to start stitching! :)

I just love the colors in this design. I can tell I'm going to have a lot of fun stitching this one! Well, I'm going to get stitching while Matthew is taking a nap! Write soon!



P.S. Thank you for all your very kind comments on Miss Lila! :)
