Back from Florida!

We drove down on my birthday Saturday and right when I got to my mom's house she gave me a gift certificate to my LNS down there. She knew I was wanting the fabric for "Sea to Shining Sea." I got the fabric (32 ct. Vintage Sea Storm) and started a little bit of it - just to make sure it looked ok! :)

I also got a few other things...

My favorite fabric - 32 ct. Vintage Examplar, the new Praiseworthy Stitches chart "Simple Gifts - Love," and the Just Nan "Sizzle" pinwheel. I had gotten the tin, but not the pinwheel - I decided to get it now that I'm feeling a little more confident with my finishing skills after taking the class with Jane Timmers.

I also found the new Ginghers at Joann's while I was down there. I think they're so pretty...

And I also finished a couple of things...

Lizzie Kate "A Bit of October"
Fabric: 29 ct. Natural Glenshee
Threads: GAST and WDW
Started: 10/29/08 - Finished: 11/1/08

I really want to get this banner finished up this year (I started it last year). Just two more months and it will be done! and I got "Don't Get Your Tinsel in a Tangle" finished. I plan to either finish it into an ornament or a pinkeep. :) Write soon!

Lizzie Kate "Don't Get Your Tinsel in a Tangle"
Fabric: 32 ct. Vintage Pearled Barley
Threads: GAST and WDW
Started: 11/1/08 - Finished: 11/4/08

P.S. I was able to vote in Florida before I left. Congrats to Obama!

A Tiny New Start!

I was inspired by Anita's very cute LHN "Garden Pleasures" pinkeep that I decided to start it this weekend also! I'm stitching it over one on 25 ct. Lambswool Jobelan. I'm liking it so far! :)



I don't have much done yet, just the border. I hope to get more finished tonight! I feel like I'm finally coming out of my slump. My excitement for my stitching has returned! :) I went to a couple of Joann's this weekend looking for the new Ashley Ginghers and I finally found them! I was so excited! I made a fob to match last night!





I had originally made an all purple fob, but decided I wanted a little pink to liven it up some! :) Well, Matthew is fussing, so I'd better go! Write later! :)
