Weekend and Wips ...

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was busy and productive and still had some time for stitching *smile* Friday night I went to dinner with 3 girlfriends and then back to Pat's house for dominos. Saturday was full of housework for me, DH worked on the deck, he's been rebuilding it and it's almost done! woo hoo :) Saturday night we rented Frost/Nixon. Have you seen it? It was much better than I expected. Frank Langella was incredible as Nixon .. the movie made me want to find the real interview and watch it. Sadly I don't remember seeing them when they were originally on. We definately have had some interesting years in US politics haven't we. Sunday was spent watching nascar, laundry and stitching.

I started another new project, one I bought when I was in Arizona last April. I'm really enjoying this piece. It is called Why Is It? by The Cross-Eyed Cricket. I don't remember the name of the fabric, but it's lovely to stitch on. I'm doing with 2 strands of Belle Soie over 2. I changed the colors from the original .. all the words are in Mahogany and the flowers/leaves will be in Butterscotch, Fern Frond and another color I've misplaced lol. Here's what I've done so far ...


and here's Coffin Buzz that I started last week. I'm stitching this 1 strand over 1 on coffee dyed fabric, that I think is 32 count ... I love how this is stitching up ... isn't the angel adorable .. just a sweet face :)

I've had a few stitchers interested in the Sisters of the Thread sampler ... either participating in an RR with me or stitching on mine for me. I'm really leaning towards starting an RR ... maybe in September. I'm going to order the chart and go from there ... more soon :)

Enjoy your week and I hope you find your joy in your stitches ...

I'm grateful for starts ...
