I'm Home!!

Yeah! I'm so glad to be back. I enjoyed myself for a couple days, but after that I was just ready to come home! I feel like Dorthy - "There's no place like home!"

Anyway, I ironed my "Needlework Shop" (sorry Wendy, I just had to do it!).

And here it is next to my "Tea Room"

Now I think I will finish up "Sweet Treats." I got the final thread pack in the mail while I was gone. And then I'll get back to my neglected LH neighborhood. :)

Write later!

Needlework Shop Finished!

I got it finished up last night! Please forgive the wrinkles, I don't have an iron where I am at!

Country Cottage Needleworks "Needlework Shop"
Fabric: 32 ct. Lambswool Jobelan
Threads: DMC
Started: 7/17/08 - Finished: 7/23/08

I met Deb today and we had a very nice lunch. Unfortunately, I had Matthew with me, so it could have been nicer (he was pretty good), but it was so nice to see her. I did get to go to the Golden Needle beforehand and got the new Shepherd's Bush "Sail Away" kit and some needles.

Well, I'm driving home tomorrow and can't wait! I will be glad to have a T.V. again and my internet (and see my hubby of course). I have been hanging out in the Panera Bread or the library parking lots using their wifi. I will be able to answer emails and comment - it's going to be nice! Write soon! :)

More Progress

I'm in Florida and I've been stitching a little bit. Here's my latest progress on "Needlework Shop."

And here's my latest progress on "LH Neighborhood."

Hopefully, I'll be able to find some time tonight to stitch! Write later! :)

Needlework Shop Restart

I started over on 32 ct. Lambswool Jobelan to match "The Tea Shop," which I stitched last year. I frogged the border about ten times on my restart. I should have took my friend Debby's advice and put it away until today. But I'm stubborn. Anyway, here's my progress next to my "Tea Room."

I'm going to Florida tomorrow. I should have internet (hopefully), so I'll update again down there!

Another Start?

I don't know what's wrong with me lately! I can't stop starting new projects! I started CCN "Needlework Shop" last night. I'm not crazy about the fabric. The feel reminds me of Heatherfield, and I don't like Heatherfield because it makes my hands sweat. I'm thinking of putting it on a Q-Snap, or choosing a different fabric. I'm strange, I know, but I can't help it! :)

Wow!

My friend Debs sent me a wonderful package today!! She made me a beautiful floss tag using one of the motifs from LHN "Heart of America."

I absolutely love it Debs! I also love the scissors and the very nice card. Thank you so much!!

I also got a package from DSL today. Amy got in the new CCN pattern "Needlework Shop," so of course I couldn't resist that...

I also got the 28 ct. Natural Pearl linen that it called for. I have heard a lot of good things about it, so I thought I'd give it a try! :) The other thing I ordered was the new Just Nan "Sizzle" tin kit. I fell in love right when I saw it! It's so cute! :)

I did stitch on LH Neighborhood. I post an update on the LH Neighborhood SAL blog. I'm loving it! Speaking of LHN - have you all seen the new designs?? All Dolled up! They are must haves! Diane continues to design wonderful patterns, I love them all! :)
