Ann Grimshaw progress

I stitched for a couple of hours last evening on Ann Grimshaw. I absolutely LOVE stitching this...it is Vikki Clayton silks Indigo Ocean. It is a great color, that carribean blue to green with a deep tone of teal. The silk just sails through the linen too. It is a very large sampler
and I will be stitching for a while on this one. I am not so great with finishing things, so this will be a test. If I love the fibers, the linen and the design, will that keep me motivated to finish???? Stay tuned.

My fair and Square squares...

These are from Deb in Florida. Aren't they great?? I FINALLY was able to take a picture of these. DD broke my camera and the other camera finally arrived yesterday!

Deb even sent me a piece of red silk to help with finishing.....THANK YOU!!!!

A finish!!

This is the Goode Huswife Quaker Marriage Sampler finished on Tuesday. My camera came yesterday, so I am able to take a picture of the finish!

Another one of those silly quizes....

Since the migraine has stopped me from doing anything productive at all, I leave you with one of the silly quizzy thingys. Enjoy!!

You Belong in Fall

Intelligent, introspective, and quite expressive at times... You appreciate the changes in color, climate, and mood that fall brings Whether you're carving wacky pumpkins or taking long drives, autumn is a favorite time of year for you

What Season Are You?

A gift for all your gal pals......

Since most of us are in the throes of menopause, it is always nice to bestow gifts to help those just entering it. Found this on a craft website (God, some people actually god paid to come up with this!). Thought in between hot flashes, you might enjoy a laugh.





Migraine today, another menopausal delight. So no stitching, just lots of sleeping today. Tomorrow, just a migraine hangover and maybe some stitching.

One down....

Finished the Quaker Marriage Sampler by Goode Huswife this morning!!! I did it on 32 ct. Linen. I don't know the color, as it has been around awhile, but it is something tea dyed. I used Inky Depths (Vikki Clayton Silks) and it really looks nice. Will post when that camera arrives.

Goals for July....

I know, 24 days too late. I have always set my goals this way. Get part way through something, claim it was a goal all the while. Hey, it's worked so far.

My goals that I will insist I set July 1 for stitching are:
1. Complete the Black Swan Quaker Sampler
2. Complete the Goode Huswife Quaker Marriage Sampler FINISHED!!!
3. Serge linen for HoHRH and VoHRH (yes...I know I have starting stitching both of these....my machine is in the shop and I have been too lazy to get the other one out) FINISHED!!!
4. Finish Hillside Samplings Quaker Alphabet Sampler FINISHED!!!
There....I have 7 more days to get them finished. I have all day Friday to myself. It could happen!!!

No pictures "D"D dropped the camera. Ordered another. Hope it works out. I just figured the other one out, kinda. I am pretty much an idiot with certain electronic things, cameras being one. Any and all suggestions would be welcome. Really.

Must go finish watching "House". He is such a dispicable human being, you gotta love him.
