Awesome weekend!

Mariah and I took the dogs for a ride.

The weather was simply gorgeous! Got a whole bunch of yard work done. Not much on the designing front though~ Mystic Sampler is getting framed and Sampler Sisters Of The Thread is almost stitched (thanks Laurie!)

I am busy getting ready for my youngest kiddo~Mariah's, graduation party. Mike and I will be facing the empty nest syndrome after 26 years. Gosh, where did the time go?!


I've got 2 models currently being stitched~Sampler Sisters and Mystic Sampler. Am working on Cape Cod's Boys (thanks to Siobhan) and Witches Hollow.

Warmth!

It was a beautiful day! While working in the yard, I spotted this fine fellow. I just love toads and frogs. After some yard work, I sat out in the sun and read for awhile. It was glorious! There's nothing like warm sun and bare feet after a really, really long, cold winter!
On the designing front~I'm almost done with Sampler Sisters, then on to another alphabet one, Mystic Sampler, I need some inspiration to get going on Cape Cod's Boys. Melissa came up with an awesome name for my big Halloween design, it's going to be called "Witches Hollow"! How cool is that!! Thanks again Melissa!!

Yeah!

I picked up the finished piece for Oct JCS and dropped off the ornament to be finished! I'm glad to have these both done in time. Now I can get back to some designing.

This well is still behind our house, I know one of the ladies was Dr. Reed's wife (they were the original owners) not sure which one though. I love old things and learning about the history behind them. (if you click on the pic, you can see it better)

I want warmth!

It is so cold out!! I am so ready for some warmer weather! I just finished my design for Just Cross Stitch Oct. edition. I am really happy with how it turned out, now to get busy and get it stitched.

Yeah! Weekend is here. I've been in a RR with a great group of gals, it is coming to a close and I am planning on finishing the stitching on the last one tonight. Then I have to start tackling taxes (yuck!!)
I'm working on a design for the Oct issue of Just Cross Stitch! I'm so excited!!
I also have a really big Halloween design in my head, just need to get it on the computer! I'm also thinking about a new Quaker with a neat twist!! Ahhh~so many ideas and so little time! lol!! Mariah (youngest in the family) is a senior, we have a college visit/scholarship day planned for next Sat. She has it narrowed down to 2 colleges, before I know it, it will be time for her graduation party. Time goes so fast. It is supposed to be cold and snowy this weekend~good stitching weather!!
