Bird in the Bower Finished!

I had so much fun stitching this one!

I'm almost sad to see it end!

Plum Street Samplers "Bird in the Bower"
Fabric: 40 ct. Vintage Light Examplar
Threads: Needlepoint Inc. Silk

Well, I'm off to get Carrabbas again for my dh for Father's Day (it's what he wanted). :) Write soon!

Stitching Progress...

I worked on BitB a little bit more yesterday...

I got the house finished up. Paulette also told me about a chart error. The inside of the windows are charted for the dark brown, but they are actually supposed to be ecru.

I also worked on Mary Wigham last night. I decided to rip out the light green motif. I decided that I wanted it to be a little more darker - like the picture.

The green I originally stitched it with was CC Joshua Tree, this green is WDW Kudzu. I hope it will look ok!

Matthew caught a stomach bug, so I was up with him all night. He is just miserable! I'm hoping I don't get it because I'm supposed to go stitching at Amy's again tomorrow. She's got lots of new thing in at Down Sunshine Lane that I can't wait to see in person! Well, wish me luck that I don't get it! Write soon!

A Little More BiTB

I worked on "Bird in the Bower" a little more yesterday. Paulette told me she wished she had done her name and date in Dark Brown, so I decided to give it a try and I like how it turned out...

I really love this design. I know I said that before, but I can't emphasize it enough! I was in a little slump, which is why I think I was starting a bunch of things - trying to find the right fit and I finally found it! :) Now I'm going through my stash to see what I can start next. I'm thinking about another Plum Street Design or maybe a Drawn Thread - something with silk and deep colors.

Yep, I'm out of my slump! Thank you Paulette! LOL! :)

Another New Start

I couldn't resist starting another new project. I have loved this one since it was released. It's "Bird in the Bower" by Plum Street Samplers.

I am stitching it on 40 ct. Vintage Light Examplar using Needlepoint Inc. Silks. The NPI are definitely my favorite thread to stitch with lately. I would love to have a whole set.... one day.... I can dream right?? :)

This design is like chocolate for me. I don't want it to end! I love everything about it!

Well, going to get back to stitching and listening to my new favorite series of books - The Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. They are so good! I wasn't so sure about them after I read the first one, but I decided to give the next one a try and the next one and now I'm hooked! Write soon!

Plum Street Samplers!

I received Paulette's newest patterns from Amy at Down Sunshine Lane today. They are so sweet! I already had the fabric for them and most of the threads. Here's "Rubie Owl's Sampler" first. I just love the threads for this one! They are so pretty!

And this one is "Bird in the Bower." It's such a sweet design. I missing a few of the threads. I'll have to get them soon because I really love this one! :)

Lastly I got a few threads in the mail for Blackbird Designs "Birds of a Feather." I love Wakana's (scroll down) progress on this one and asked her if she minded if I copied her. She didn't mind thankfully! :)

I worked on Ruthie a little bit more today. I'm almost finished with the triangles on the left side.

Well, nothing else going on! Just getting ready to make dinner again - tonight is spaghetti! Write later! :)
