Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, & Happy New Year.
It has been over 3 months since my last post. Thanks to all you Bloggers out there cause I do check in on you often ... Your my inspiration when I'm down in the dumps.
We have been in the process of Packing, Moving(you all know it never rains in Southern California - only when you move), Thanks Giving, Christmas, New Years and finally attempting to get settled-in and organized. Not sure the later will ever happen. So many wonderful friends have offered to help, but we simply do not know where everything will go... soooo have had to graciously decline their kind and generous offers. We just get a wee bit accomplished each day and as the settling-in continues it is finally starting to feel more like home. At times I feel like I am on a roll... until????
All of this has been too boring to actually post, if ya know what I mean.
Anyways, I picked up my X-stitching again and it feels so good to be able to relax and enjoy. No matter how slow the progress it is still a step in the right direction. I love this design. It was the one that actually got me hooked four years ago and I am determined to get it finished sooner than later with NO planned deadline date.
My pictures are rotten but here they are....
The Heloise Williams Sampler
The Scarlet Letter
NOW here is what I have completed so far.
NOT Much!
I
am working on the upper half with the alphabet section. When I have
completed this I will go on to the lower portion with the brick house
and trees. It'll be like doing two samplers as the actual size is
somewhat overwhelming for me (15" x 20", using 25 count linen).
Hope
everyone out there is well and keeping warm. We are in So Cal so have
not had to deal with those horrendous freezing temps.
Peace and Blessings to all,
Barb

I didn't realize Heloise was that big! She'll be a beauty.
ReplyDeleteOh how nice this will be. Your fabric color is prim perfect and the floss you have used is a rich beautiful color. I have wanted to learn to do this for a long time. I jumped in after the first of the year. I find it to be relaxing. Happy stitching and enjoy yourself while creating your living space into your home sweet home.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your move Barb! I'm hoping to follow your lead this year! Lovely start on Heloise!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous project! I too have a hard time with large projects like this one. I prefer the smaller ones. I can't wait until you finish.
