Spring Violets - Again!

I'm addicted to this one! I can't put it down - it's so much fun!

Spring Violets as of 3/8/07


There goes my rotation flying out the window! :) Mary Kathryn started the prettiest sampler the other day... "At Home with Jane Austen," by The Sampler Girl from the latest Gift of Stitching online magazine. I love the colors and the saying is so me! I'd rather be at home than any place else! So sad, but true! :) So I ordered a few Crescent Colours I was missing from her online shop - Handcrafts Online. I did have most of the threads it called for and I also had some 28 ct. Creme Brulee linen in my stash that I'll doubt I'll use for the intended pattern (maude eloise).

Crescent Colours threads for "At Home with Jane Austin."


Aren't the colors pretty? I was thinking of stitching the house in Bamboo (white/cream thread) instead of the peachy color. Anyway, I definitely won't start until Spring Violets is done. I should probably finish a few things before I start something new! :) But knowing me and my flightiness - it's unlikely to happen! :)

I also ordered a few other things... "Maggie's Needlecase" by Blackbird Designs and the threads for it along with the newest LHN chart "Nature's Beauty." I think this one is so pretty - I think it's probably my favorite LHN yet! I'll have a hard time not starting that one too! :)

Anyway, like I said there goes my rotation! :) Hopefully it doesn't go too far because I would really like to get some UFO's finished up! Well, not much else going on here! Write later!

P.S. I'm headed down to Bonita Springs this weekend for a visit with my Dad and Step-mother, so probably no update until Monday. See you then!
