Another Start...

I think I may have a case of startitis! :) I started Joyful Summer yesterday to work on in between my LH Neighborhood. I'm going to wait to work on the Lizzie Kate Christmas Double Flips until the next set comes out so I can work from the bottom up, which is how I'm most comfortable stitching. Here's my little "Joyful Summer" Progress pic...

Joyful Summer - 28 ct. Summer Sky Jobelan using Crescent Colours and DMC

And here is my latest LHN pic...

I'm having so much fun stitching this one. I love the design, the fabric and the basic DMC threads.

Here's a carnation from the latest bunch I bought. I know carnations aren't roses, but they are still pretty. Especially the pink ones. There's something so simple and sweet about them. :)

Write later!

I worked on "Embroidery Guild" a little bit more yesterday and then I decided I wanted to stitch something with some pink in it! So I started "Quilting" by LHN from the new Little Women series.

I think the fabric I'm using is 32 ct. Vintage Lentil by Lakeside Linens. It was a scrap I found in my stash. And here is my little progress pic on EG. I only got a little bit of the third lady's dress stitched.

I have been trying to keep fresh flowers in the house. They just cheer me up so much. I bought a bouquet of colorful carnations yesterday and picked out the pink ones for a smaller bouquet for next to my bed or desk. Here's one of the bright pink carnations...

We are driving down to Florida today to visit our families. We'll be staying until Monday, and I won't have access to the internet, so I'll have another update probably Tuesday. See you then! :)

I Spoke Too Soon...

Matthew got sick again last night. I think it was the milk. I should have held off giving him milk for a couple more days. Oh well, live and learn. I did work on "Home of a Needleworker (Too!)" a little bit last night. It's such a fun design (like all CCN and LHNs are). :)

I'll probably be rotating this one and Family Sampler. I'm so excited about the new designs Diane has coming out. They sound wonderful! I think tomorrow she'll put up the pictures for the May releases. Can't wait! :)

Here is the whole bouquet of roses that I gave my mom for mother's day. Can you tell she loves white? Her whole living room is white. White furniture, white walls. It's a great room for taking pictures.

All Better

Everyone is doing much better, Thankfully! I have been trying to get back into our routine. I got the stitching back out and finished the border on "Family Sampler" by Shepherd's Bush. I think I'm going to really love this one. I love the colors...

I got my mom a dozen white roses (her favorite color). I took a picture of one today. They are really starting to get pretty now that they're opening up.

Well, I'm going to get back to my stitching! :) Write later!
