Big thanks,latest stitching, and other exciting stuff

gumboots and umbrella (spring)
Ewe (spring)
spring -- duh! lol
I charted in the butterfly .. it just needed it.

mitten and Winter word -- (winter)

I want to "Thank" each and every one of you who tried to win and to those who did win. You helped me get rid of TONSSSS of great stash. To answer some questions of what I am stitching currently ... well .. I am working on some ornies for the Christmas tree ... they are from Trilogy.. I have the Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter-ology pamphlets ... I picked which ones I wanted to stitch... finished all the Spring ones as you will see pictured and I am working on the Winter ones right now. I have a few of those for your viewing pleasure. I am using an evenweave material and mostly Weeks and Sampler threads that it calls for, but sometimes I don't have it so DMC plays it's part.

We are working on my son's room with remodeling... oh my gosh -- it's been a chore. The pictures that you see are before the walls were hung -- this was the demolish period. No insulation anywhere in the walls. Not even good sheetrock was hung. But we are heading towards the end with painting almost done... trim will be hung tomorrow hopefully. Then the moving of stuff from one room to another. I am going to make Justin's some curtains for his room ... not sure about the color yet. His room is going to be white walls and red trim -- he picked the red. And he said that he wanted yellow curtains -- i am thinking it's going to look like a condiment tray LOL... I might be able to convince him on a red and white stripe curtain instead. (fingers crossed)
Oh... I am including a picture of a Bent Creek sampler that I did about a week ago. Don't remember the name of it -- but I can look it up later. Hope that everyone is having a great weekend -- it's cold here.


Keep Stitching,
