Another New Start

Yep, the Stitching ADD continues. I was in a Shepherd's Bush mood. I have wanted to stitch "Sail Away" for a long time now, so I went for it the other day...

I went up to Amy's yesterday for the day to stitch and chat. We had a nice, relaxing visit. I got the latest Cross Stitch & Needlework magazine from her while there. She told me she does have more on back order. I pulled the threads for the Blackbird Design "Land of the Free" inside the magazine today.

The threads are so pretty!! I really can't wait to start this one!

Well, the boys are having a blast at Sea World right now. I do miss them so much though. I was planning on going back in a week or so, but I don't think I'll last that long. I think I may go back down in a couple days instead.

Getting Close!

I'm getting very close to finishing "Family Sampler."

I just have to stitch the sheep and a few more motifs! I've definitely been bitten by the Shepherd's Bush bug - I'm thinking of stitching this one next...

It's "Sail Away." I thought I had lost the kit. I looked everywhere for it yesterday. I mean everywhere! I finally found in my pantry, in a basket with mostly magazines and some yarn. How crazy is that? Anyway, I'm so glad I found it. I just love this one. :) Write soon!

Needlework Shop Finished!

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

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! :)
