Sarah Elizabeth and a Basket

Here is my current progress on Sarah Elizabeth Brooke.  I got the second story stitched while I was in Myrtle Beach.

The Shaker Lady came to Myrtle Beach again.  I couldn't resist last year and I couldn't resist this year either.  I ended up getting this beautiful Shaker Basket.  I think it will go really well with my tray.  

Well, I've been pretty busy this week with a class party, a field trip, a parade and field day.  I'm so ready for the weekend!  I hope to get started on the third story of Sarah E. Brooke.  My dad and his wife will be coming on Sunday, so I'll be doing a lot of cleaning too!! 

Sorry!

I'm so sorry I've been so quiet! It's been a busy few weeks with school starting. On top of school starting there have been two dentist appointments for me and doctor appointments for the kids. Hurricane Irene skirted right by us and we only got a tiny bit of rain and wind. I feel so bad for those who severely affected by the storm! My heart goes out to you all.

Well, I have been stitching some. I started a new sampler! It's The Scarlett House's "Sarah Elizabeth Brooke." I got the pattern directly from Tanya and I started it right when it came in the mail.

I'm loving it!! The colors are so pretty - I really love the red building (maybe a school?).

Well, nothing going on here this weekend. Just lots and lots of laundry! There's so much more now that Matthew is in school too! :) I'm getting ready to add some things to my sale page. I'll post when I have it all on there. Hope you all have a great Labor Day weekend!
