I'm Home!!

Yeah! I'm so glad to be back. I enjoyed myself for a couple days, but after that I was just ready to come home! I feel like Dorthy - "There's no place like home!"

Anyway, I ironed my "Needlework Shop" (sorry Wendy, I just had to do it!).

And here it is next to my "Tea Room"

Now I think I will finish up "Sweet Treats." I got the final thread pack in the mail while I was gone. And then I'll get back to my neglected LH neighborhood. :)

Write later!

The Tea Room Finished!

I finished it up last night about 9pm and got to bed early for once! :) I had so much fun stitching this one. I loved everything about it!




Country Cottage Needleworks "The Tea Room"
Fabric: 32 ct. Lambswool Jobelan
Threads: DMC
Started: 9/16/07
Finished: 9/18/07
Now I really, really plan to finish up my Drawn Thread Sunflower Bellpull. I got it out and put a few stitches in it. I'm determined! And then maybe I'll start something new! :)

Write later!

More Tea Room

I got the shop finished up last night. I'm loving Drums of Autumn. And loving listening to it on CD. I seem to stitch faster while listening. Probably because I'm not stopping to look up like I would be if I were watching TV.



I woke up this morning and it was an absolutely beautiful day today. It was almost like once I made up mind to enjoy where I was that everything seemed greener and bluer, the water sparkled and the palm trees were beautiful swaying in the breeze. I'm definitely happy I made up mind to stop complaining about being here. Like I said it was just doing me no good - it was making me feel so down, and I don't need that on top of everything else! :) Well, Jake is needing me! Write later! :)

Another New Start...

I know I said I'd be good and try to get something finished before I started something else, but the "The Tea Room" by Country Cottage Needleworks was really calling to me. Especially after seeing Susan's finished. I wanted to do it on 32 Lambswool Jobelan, so I ordered some from Handcrafts Online. Well, of course my impatient and impulsive self couldn't wait, so I found a small piece I already had. The margin is just under 2 inches, but I think it will be fine. And I'm sure I can find plenty of things to stitch on the Jobelan I ordered. :)



And speaking of Susan - she recently finished Peach Tree Cottage, and I told her how much I liked it, so she sent me the chart! I thought that was so sweet of her!



I sent her "Garden Pleasures" in return. We are both enabling each other! Everytime she finishes something I want to stitch it! :)

Well, that's all for now! My brother is still in Idaho, so I'm going to take this opportunity to relax and stitch and then it's back to work tomorrow! :)
