Well this weekend flew by and I didn't get NEAR anything accomplished like I wanted too, but hey some things WERE accomplished so I'll share those :)
I'm in the Bride's Tree SAL (link in my side bar under groups I belong to) and January's theme is a House which represents "protection or shelter" so here's my start:
Winter House by Prairie SchoolerFrom Up on the Rooftop Leaflet
DMC threads
Sassy's Fabbys - 32 ct. Creamy Cocoa (another of my FAV colors Lauren offers)
Then I thought since it's about 3 weeks away from maildate that I'd better get my rear end in gear with the next stitching obligation for Hello Neighbor Round Robin...this is Von's RR. She chose English Cottages and Gardens. There's quite a few cottages with lovely gardens, but I thought I'd focus on a garden with a nice gate/stone fence...here's a snap of the start:
I think I'm getting involved in another Round Robin, this one focusing on Little House Needleworks.....I know I should have my hand slapped, but I can't stop myself! I dream about stitching and all the lovely things I can start and go about...and I love Round Robins, the designing of them, the layout of them....so there ya go...brings me pleasure....SO, look for updates on that adventure soon...
That's about it for me when it comes to stitching this weekend, so I thought I'd round out this psot with some pics form the weekend....

You may be wondering where is Ian and Katie? Well we only let our kids play computer on the weekend and he had his head glued to the computer screen. And Katie? Well she was next door playing with a neighbor girl :)
Until next time dear friends....stitch HAPPY - I plan on it....after my Girl Scout meeting today that is...
It sounds like a very cozy and relaxing weekend, your pieces are off to a great start!

ReplyDeleteYou are crazy starting another RR! LOL! It’s so hard to not do it though, I understand that.
Your kids are so cute! My daughter is obsessed with horses too, but that is my fault, it’s in the genes you see.
Your progress for the BT SAL looks really good. Can't wait to see your RR part finished. Looks like everyone had a good weekend at your house!

Your bitty ballerina is absolutely gorgeous in her pink tutu! Give her a big hug from me, please!

ReplyDeleteI love both of your WIP especially the BT SAL since I'm partial to PS designs. Another RR! I can't even commit to one. I look forward to the day when I'm working less and can participate in some of these. They look like so much fun!
Your Bride's Tree ornament is going to be beautiful! Great start on the RR too. I love RRs as well, but since I have a piece that's gone awol, I'm not sure I'll join another one.
