Sofa Sunday, Kind of

My intent was to spend most of the day in my little stitchy nest stitching.  And I did get in a few hours that were interrupted by cleaning, laundry, and the all important exercising.  I have  a few things to show.

First, I put the last stitches in Winter Solstice - Serenity by Hands On Design and realized when I went to press it that I had neglected to stitch the bottom border - the part that looks like wool pennies. The chart did come with wool pennies but I opted not to use those and to stitch them instead.

And a finish is followed by a new project or a WIP.  Today I chose a new project - On Redware Road by The Scarlett House.  This was the latest kit sent by Dyeing to Stitch for the Colonial Gatherings Club.  I'm really liking this one.  It came with a bright green - like a yellowish green chenille to use along the edge in the finishing.

And my meager start.  But it's a start nonetheless.  Sometimes the hardest part is placing those first few stitches and then the rest flies right along.  Here's hoping.

And as has been tradition for the last few days I have a finish finish to show.   A Year in Chalk: May by Hands On Design.

That's about it for today.  I off to give myself a manicure and put in a few more stitches before I turn in for the night.

Keep on Stitching!

WhatchaWorkinOn Wednesday

Whenever I get together with other stitchers we always ask this question.  So today I'm asking you.  Whatcha Workin' On?

Me?  Oh, I'm working on these

Winter Solstice by Hands on Design.  As you can see i have Solitude stitched and I'm working on Serenity.  This is what they will look like when they are finished.

Keep on Stitching!
