An almost-finish!

I suppose I should have finished it before I put it on the blog, but I wanted to let you know that I am still here! I was having trouble getting the photos off my camera!

This is a Little House Needleworks design from Just Cross Stitch. I picked it up a week or so ago at my LNS. It has been a fun and quick stitch. I think I should have done the chapter and verse in the darker purple, but I just don't feel like picking and restitching!

Cats and Violin

When Nutmeg practices her violin, the old dog leaves the room, but the kittens come running! They swarm around her ankles like she has just opened a can of cat food! Today Dorothy, aka "Dorf," tried to get a better view!

Creepy Purple Skin

So last night, I started "Sirens of the Sea" by Carriage House Samplings. I got a little freaked out as I stitched this lady's skin! EWWWW! Maybe I have watched too many LOST episodes lately!

Birds of paradise

I really have been working away on my rotation! Jerry and I have been watching Lost on Netflix, and I have been stitching while we try to figure out what is going on! This weekend, while the children were at my parents' house, I was sick! So I got in much more stitching than snuggling! Yesterday I started and finished Mary Beal's "Birds of Paradise" from her Advanced Needlework series. It was fun color combination for a gray and snowy day.

What I've been doing instead of blogging...

1. Unpacking the car after Christmas - yes that is where the dog rode. She was quite comfortable. I think.

2. NOT eating bugs - we went to a low country boil for New Year's Eve. My husband starts slavering as soon as he hears the word "crawfish!" aka "mud bugs!"

3. Taking the girls to a "literary birthday party." It was cleverly planned and a lot of fun!

4. Driving past this on the way home from church. This is actually nowhere near our home or our church, but that's the thing about the way my husband drives...

5. Starting a new Mary Beale cross stitch. I think it will look very Jane Austen!

6. Brewing bubbly, sour goodness, aka sourdough.

7. Becoming a godmother ~ again!

Regular blogging will probably resume shortly!
