I'm Home....

... For now! I got back from Florida on Tuesday. I ended up not leaving the kids down there by themselves. Although it would have been nice to have some free time, I realized it would have been a waste of money to drive back and forth. I didn't get very much stitching done at all. I worked on Shores Block 11 a little bit, but that was it...

40 ct. Summer Khaki (over-dyed w/tan rit dye), NPI silks.

I picked up the latest Sampler and Antique Needlework Quarterlies at my Florida LNS (Silk Road Needle Arts). I really want to stitch the Isabella Johnstone Sampler in the Summer issue.

40 ct. Pearled Barley, Belle Soie silks.

Check out Tanya's finished Sampler here. It's just gorgeous!! Tanya is such an inspiration to me. She picks the most beautiful samplers to stitch!

Well, I'm only home for a few more days and then we're headed up to Michigan to visit my dad for a week. It's been a busy, but fun summer so far. The kids are having a blast visiting their grandparents. I'm excited about the prospect of cooler weather in Michigan. I'm so sick of the heat and humidity of FL and SC! :)
