A small update

Hello! Hope you are all well and enjoying the end of summer. I have made a little progress on my Sun Flower Inn. The house and fence are now done! (Aahh! I just noticed that I didn't stitch the two chimneys on the top yet...ok...it is almost done.) I am excited to move on to some color - that is what drew me to this piece, the hazy yellows and greens of the end of summer. I started the yellow front door this morning. Wouldn't you just love to have a yellow front door?!

Tomorrow I am starting a new piece. It is "My Lady's Quaker" and I'll be part of a stitch along over at this blog: http://myladysquaker.blogspot.com/ I need to get my fabric, colors ready for that today.

I now have enough nice pieces going (that will make 5!) that I am considering a rotation. A year ago I thought it was "illegal" to work on more than one project at once - that was until I found the cross stitch blogging world and all this new possibility opened up for me! Now I love that I can change up what I'm working on based on my mood!! And, I love all the new friends that I've made who inspire me daily! Thank you.

Hope you all have a wonderful day and happy stitching!

  1. Looking good. I can't wait to start even though I realized I cut my fabric too small. I will only have an inch on each side and so I don't know whether to chance it or not.

    Oh well...guess I will sleep on it. Can't wait to see your choice of colors.

  4. Oh heaven's...I sure hope it isn't illegal, cause I'd be locked up and the key thrown away!!!
