Cindy chose the most amazing fabric for her RR..it is 32 ct. Days Gone By Silkweaver....I believe I see some of this in my future! GORGEOUS fabric!
Here's the whole RR, I think it's looking fabulous!:
Don't you think my little shack looks like your hillbilly neighbor's house?! LOL!Next I had a sweet surprise from dearest Harmien I sent her the annual Just Cross Stitch Ornament Magazine and she said she'd stitch me the first project from it....Here's what it looked like before I opened it:
And here it is in all it's glory! Front:
Back:
Don't you just love it?! I am thrilled to bits with it! It is in my smalls basket as I speak and I keep looking and looking at it. It's Midsummer Nights Designs offering for this year and they've become a popular favorite of mine of late. So sweet Harmien, thank you for your kindness and generosity :) I love it and am thrilled to BITS with it!I'm a bit under the weather today. I think I have a slight stomach bug or something...not right at all and sort of achy all over. My DH is coming home early this p.m. so that I can take a shower and go to bed. I will be able to do so with a clear conscience now that I know that the RR is packaged and ready for the mail on Friday! WHOO HOOO!
Until next time: may your fabric be the canvas and your needle your brush as you paint a beautiful masterpiece!
woo hoo!!! congrats on the finish :) all the Neighbor RR's are looking sooo nice!

Sorry to hear about your hubbies colleague. I haven't had much computer time to read all my favorite blogs as my hubby and sons are always hogging the computer. All I ever get is hurry up Mum I need to get on there any way take care - Sandra.

Congrats on the lovely RR finish. It is beautiful. Harmien's ornament is precious. I have also taken note of that Silkweaver Days Gone By fabric. I saw a project at my LNS done on it, and decided that I must stitch something on it. Hope you feel better soon.
