Cherry Hill Finished!

I finally got it finished up last night! I love how it turned out. I actually made a mistake and made the roof the wrong color. It's supposed to be DMC 3371. I don't think I'm going to rip it out. I

Country Cottage Needleworks "Cherry Hill"
Fabric: 32 ct. Antique White Lugana
Threads: Crescent Colours and DMC
Started: 2/14/08 - Finished: 2/20/08

I went to my LNS yesterday to get a few silk threads I was needing and I couldn't resist the Lakeside Linen's bin any longer. I ended up getting my favorite of the bunch...

32 ct. Vintage Luna! Yum, yum!! I also got the new Lizzie Kate ABC Crazy. Mainly because one of the names on the front is Jake, which is my five year old's name. I told him I would stitch it for him. :)

Now, I think I'm going to get back to Poinesettias and Pines. I'm determined to get it finished! Write later!

Cherry Hill and Winter Whites

I got a little bit more stitched last night. I've been listening to Nora Roberts "High Noon" and I'm almost finished with it. It motivated me to keep stitching last night.

I was also playing fashion show again today. I really like Shepherd's Bush's version of Winter Whites on a hand-dyed blue linen. So I decided to pull the threads on a couple pieces of blue linen that I had. I really like this one - it's 32 ct. Dwarf by Picture this Plus.

It's not as dark as the Shepherd's Bush version, but I still think it would be pretty. Who knows when I'd actually start it! I was looking through Cindy's Webshot album (hi Cindy!) and saw that she had finished Poinsettias and Pines. It gorgeous and seeing it really makes me want to get mine finished! Well, I really should be working (filing). I've been procrastinating. I'm just wondering how long I'll be allowed to get away with that!! Probably not much longer! Write later! :)

edited to add...

Now I think I like 32 ct. Misty Blue Belfast better. It's not as bright as the other, although its a little hard to tell in the picture.


Yes, I'm still procrastinating.

A Little More Cherry Hill

I worked on Cherry Hill some last night and today. I've mostly been stitching grass. I'm almost done with that thankfully!

Of course I had to make a matching fob! I need my head examined! LOL! :) Well, not much else going on here. Just hanging out with the kids! Write later!

Hi Y'all!

I'm practicing for when I move back South. You'd think I'd be in the South now, but I'm not. I consider Florida the Northern South. Everyone here is from somewhere else like Michigan (my family), Ohio, New York, etc. I can't wait to move back to the South. I can't wait to have some decent barbecue and sweet tea again! :) Anyway, it's just a lazy Sunday here. And I mean lazy! I took a shower and put on some clean pajamas. I have no intention of leaving the house today!

I started Country Cottage Needleworks "Cherry Hill" the other day. I just love all the pink! I'm stitching it on 32 ct. Antique White Lugana.

I needed something quick and fun! It shouldn't take me too long to finish. I also got some fabric I ordered for Drawn Thread's "Random Thoughts." I've had the pattern and threads for a long time now, but after seeing Blandine's stitched I decided to get the fabric. I just love it!!

Well, today is not completely lazy, I'm doing laundry and I guess I'd better get back to it! Write Later! :)
