Blackbird Designs Start and AotH

I ended up starting Blackbird Designs "Blessings and Kind Wishes." I have loved this design for a long time. The only thing I'm not loving is the 30 ct. linen. I'm so used to 40 ct. and I'm so used to using one strand of thread that I'm thinking of starting over (I know, crazy). I may set it aside for now and decide later.

30 ct. Olde Towne Blend by R&R, CC, GAST & WDW (2 over 2)

I also got back to my Anniversaries of the Heart. I'm working on the March block.

I think I'm going to put my oldest son's name on this block. His birthday is actually in June, but the June block is pretty girly, so I might just put my family where I think they look best instead of what the month actually is.

40 ct. Meadow Rue by Lakeside Linens, CC, GAST & WDW (1 over 2)

I substituted WDW Beige for GAST Harvest Basket in the windows. I thought it gave a little bit more contrast.

Well, nothing else going on here!! Just hanging out with Matthew and doing laundry, which I always seem to be doing! :) Write soon!

Huh?

Did I really say I would have a peaceful night tonight?? Matthew has caught a cold and has been up every half hour. My cat, who is usually quiet, has been meowing all night. What is going on? I finally gave up trying to sleep. I go to get on the computer and see it's Friday the 13th. I'm not normally a superstitious person, but that's just freaky! :)

Well, since I am awake I can share a little stash I got today...

I stopped by my LNS to pick up the latest BBD Loose Feather after getting an email that it was in. I also got the fabric for it along with a few threads...

I love the thread colors in this design. I think they are so pretty. Well, Matthew is awake again. It's going to be a long night. Don't let me jinx myself like that again!! :)
