Some Progress

So I did get some stitching done over spring break!!! Not as much as I would have like but is it ever?? I managed to come down with a cold/flu that robbed me of valuable stitching time.

I also stitched some on Red White and Blue by Cricket collection as a soldier memorial for a friend who lost her hubby in Iraq. No pics yet. I ordered that pattern and Vierlanden Sampler Anna by Stickideen von der Wiehenburg. Need some fabric suggestions on this one.Ordered a bit of fabric at the same time I ordered these patterns and not crazy about it, its a little too loose for me. I realized I like a stiffer linen or evenweave. Will take suggestions

Spring Break!!!

Hope to get some substantial amount of stitching done this week. I am off for a week from school. I still have alot of homework and some papers to work on but I am still plannning on enjoying some fun reading and some stitching time. I did get a few stitches into The Teacher.

A Big Finish and my Mary

I can now devote more time to my Mary Wigham Sampler since I finished a long time coming piece which is the Last Supper for my parents!!!!! I cant believe it took me so long

More Christmas pics

Christmas decor

Some pics of the decorating I started on Saturday. They are of the living room stockings sorry for the bad pic,second and third are the fireplace mantle (subject to change) and the front door.Still have some to go, especially the trees. I think I will put the living room tree up today.

Christmas decorating

We always try to get Christmas decor up by or on the first Saturday in December. It usually coincides with Army Navy game. This year, due to exams, I will wait until next Saturday. In the meantime, I will post some pics of Christmas a few years ago.

Progress

I cant believe I am actually making some progress. Slow progress but progress none the less. I have photographed Mary with another pair of scissors. Actually the only one of two I own. Someone posted a compliment on the blue pair I photographed with my last update. I had decided to start collecting scissors and making matching fobs, when low and behold I found the blue pair in stash I had not looked at in quite some time.
