What I've Been up to

I worked on LHN "Starr of Mine" earlier in the week. But there's so much grass I had to put it away for a bit.

I then decided to join Amy's SAL for My Lady's Quaker the other day. At first I was going to use one of these combination's of Belle Soie...

And then I decided to use Cotton Threads to match Monique's version....

And finally I decided to go with Needlepoint Inc. Silk. I'm very happy with my choice (I used NPI 223, 222, 706, 344, 923 and 903). I'm a little concerned about the light peach for the skin. I wondering if it's a little too light??

I have also been working on "Finch Song." I would love to get it finished soon!

The kids had a great week at school. I had a great week enjoying being at home again! Well, the laundry and dishes are calling me! Write soon!



P.S. I have decided not to start Mary Wigham over after all. I think I'm going to use the silks for a completely different project. :)

Because I have nothing else going on.....

I have decided to start something new and restart something old. I'm in Fredericksburg, Virginia with the kids. We got here about 6 pm. Before leaving I kitted LHN's new design "Starr of Mine" from The Gift of Stitching. I decided to put in a couple stitches tonight....

I mean I literally put a couple of stitches in it (4 1/2 to be exact). I decided to go with one of my favorite linens 32 ct. Vintage Examplar.

The project I have decided to restart is Mary Wigham (I know I restart way too many things - it's definitely a sickness). I saw these silks (scroll down) on Stef's blog and fell in love. And I decided to start from the bottom, which is my favorite place to start. :)

Well, we have a big day tomorrow, so I guess I should get some sleep. I'm hoping I'll have internet in NY, but I'm not sure yet. So I'll write when I can! :)
