Finished!

Hello stitching friends!

I am very pleased to say I have a finish....




I finished Red Cottage by Paulette Stewart of Plum Street Samplers. I like this one! Although I will admit the small house and flower stitched over one was a challenge. I did use my magnifier for some of it....

I will have to do some stash searching to decide what is up next.

Like so many of you, we are longing for Spring around here, but the weather is not cooperating. We have snow in the forecast for Palm Sunday. It was supposed to be a size able accumulation of snow, but luckily it is tracking farther south, so we are on target for about 2".

I have been keeping busy with stitching and reading as usual. I finally read Gone Girl. It has been circulating a lot, so I decided to see if it was good. I have to say I enjoyed it, different than what I have been reading lately.

I have read that google reader is going away.... Now I'm going to have to decide what RSS feed reader to move to. I have read that some of you are moving to blog lovin. I will have to check it out. I'm sorry google is leaving reader behind. I dislike the bother of changing things like this.... Especially since it has been working fine.

I did pick up these potted daffodils to add some Spring to our house, since it isn't appearing outside.


Happy stitching friends! Now I'm off to do some stash perusing to see which project will be up next. I will let you know.

  2. What a cute finish. I like a lot of the PSS designs and think it's cute that the little house is stitched over one. That must look awesome.

    I still haven't read Gone Girl...too much stitching to do. I did read Me Before You recently for my neighborhood book club, and we all liked that.

    Hope you find something fun in your stash.

  6. Oh, so pretty, Melody! Have fun going through your stash to find your next project--sometimes I think that is as much fun as stitching...

    I just noticed that we have the same blog backgrounds! Obviously stitchers with good taste :)

    Stay warm--we are to get 3-6 inches of snow tomorrow night--this is getting ridiculous!

  15. Lovely finish and daffodils :) I have some in the garden that appeared 2-3 weeks ago, occasionally they get buried under snow and ice, then the next day they seem to look around a bit confused, almost saying: `What was THAT at the end of March???`. Lol!
