Grandma's Flower Garden Finished!

I finished my first canvas work design by Laura J. Perin! It was such a fun stitch. I highly recommend these designs for anyone who wants to stitch, but doesn't want to hassle with magnifiers and lights. The holes are so easy to see and the patterns are very easy to follow. Anyway, here's my pic...

Fabric: 18 ct. White Mono Canvas by Zwiegart
Threads: Caron Watercolours and DMC Pearl Cotton
Started: 9/3/08 - Finished: 9/7/08


I started my class project the other day. I'm hoping to have enough progress for a pic tomorrow. It's hard to go from nice, easy canvas work, to over one on 32 ct.! :) Write later!

This and That and Rain

Well, my dh has gone out of town, so his side is the bed is filled with stitching stuff. I have canvas work, cross stitch and knitting! I have been working on a little bit of everything today!

I finished up a sock yesterday - it fits perfect and I love it! I'm anxious to get started on the second one now.

It looks huge, but it's really not. It's just the angle in which the picture was taken.

I have also been working on another canvas work piece. This is a freebie by Laura J. Perin called "Grandma's Flower Garden." Which you can find here (scroll down).

I'm not too far away from being finished. I like these little designs they are so quick and easy and fun! Thank you all for your very kind comments on my other canvas work - "Hide & Seek." You have inspired me to keep at it! :)

I have also rejoined the Celtic Lady SAL. I got Celtic Autumn back out and stitched on her just a bit tonight. I know I really should be finishing up my neighborhood, but I think I'm feeling a little anxious about Hanna. Although all we've had so far is rain - no wind. Hopefully it stays that way.

I have been watching the weather channel all day. I'm not sure how much sleep I will get since I will probably leave the weather channel on just in case we have any severe weather. Like I said hopefully not! Here's our latest radar image...
