I Decided to Start.....

Two things! A few people told me I should start everything, which was very tempting!! I started out with "Quaker Diamonds." There are ton of color changes, but I'm loving how it's turning out. I got the stranded Valdani instead of the spools because I knew I wanted to stitch it on 40 ct.

After stitching on "Quaker Diamonds" for a couple hours I decided I would start "Rubie Owl's Sampler." I have loved this design for so long. Once I started stitching I really fell in love!

Thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes yesterday, they really made my day!! My dh brought home a cake from Publix. I just mentioned I would love a chocolate cake with whipped topping and he ordered it for me on Saturday when I was at Amy's. He even had them put in raspberry filling. It was soooo good!!! :)

Well, I think I'm going to back to Rubie! I do want to finish up Jenny Bean, so I'll probably get back to that too (maybe tomorrow - I'm enjoying Rubie too much right now)! :)

Write soon!

Edited to add: I had a couple people ask about my Picture this Plus linen - I can't remember where I got it from (it's been awhile), I know you can get it directly from them... http://www.picturethisplus.com/html/cross_stitch_fabric.html

New Start?

I was thinking since it's my birthday today - I might start something new. But what???

The first thing I was thinking of was Rubie Owl's Sampler. I have had this kitted since last year...

The next thing I was thinking of is "Quaker Diamonds." Check out Coni's beautiful finish if you haven't done so already!!

Another one I have loved since Tanya (Scarlett House) finished it last year is Plantation Sampler (I even asked for her conversion)!


40 ct. Vintage Maritime White by Lakeside Linens, DMC and NPI.

And the last sampler I'm thinking of is "Where my Heart Blooms." I've had this one kitted forever too.

Hmm... Decisions, decisions! Well, even if I decide not start one today I still had fun playing in my stash! :) I have a lot to be thankful for today. My beautiful family, my health and my stash! :)
