I went up to Amy's yesterday. We headed up to Sumter for a little shopping and lunch at Five Guys (yum!!). While there I picked up the latest Just Cross Stitch magazine from DSL.

There are some great designs in it. I was very excited to see an article on Plum Street Samplers!! Paulette also submitted a very sweet design! I just love it! :)

There was also a very cute Praiseworthy Stitches design in it...

I also got my buttons for "The Stockings."

But it will be set aside for a little bit because I'm working on another model for Lisa right now. It's such a great design! I'll give you a sneak peek of the threads and fabric... they're just gorgeous!

I hope to have it finished before we leave for Florida next Saturday. Wish me luck! :) Write soon!

Startitis

I worked on the green motif a little bit more last night. I just wanted to clarify that the color changes are not mine. I have once again borrowed a conversion from my friend Katrina. She has such a great eye for color!

I had a touch of startitis right before I went to Florida. I started three designs including Mary. The first was Hands to Work "Two Fine Houses."

I'm stitching it on the recommended 40 ct. Pear linen by Lakeside Linens using NPI silk (1 over 2). The second start was Praiseworthy Stitches "Knots and Flowers Sampler." I'm stitching this one on 40 ct. Purely Primitive by Silkweaver using GAST and Needle Necessities (1 over 2).

That's it for the starts - for now at least. I'm very tempted to start Plantation Sampler with Deb. Margaret's wip pics are so pretty! The more I see the more I'm finding it hard to resist! :) Write soon!
