Needleworker

I didn't take any progress pictures of Needleworker.  I have stitched this on 35 count Lambswool.  I have plans to finish this using the fabric in the background.

Little Sheep Virutes No. 4 - Courage

I have made a teeny, tiny start on this guy.

Sometimes the hardest part of project is committing to placement of the first few stitches.  That part is at least finished on this piece.

Home From Ocean City - Again

I spent the first weekend in May at Beach Retreat in Ocean City, Maryland sponsored by Salty Yarns. 

First, let me say, Sara, Sally, and Mary are the most wonderful hostesses.  I always feel so welcome and special when I am there.

When I arrived I was given the agenda for the weekend (not too taxing) and this goodie bag.





Notice the gift card.  I brought that home with me to use the next time.

I shared Sea Robin 1 with my friends Stasi and Debbie.  I like this litte apartment.  I think it's where I stayed on my very first visit to Ocean City.

On Friday night I left one of these scissor fobs on my roommate's pillows. 



I found this on my pillow when I went into bed from Stasi.  She thought that the button would make a great thread winder.  I have to agree.



On Sunday, I was given these goodies by Debbie.



Of course, it's not all about the stuff. I spent lots of time at the table in the dining room working on Little Sheep Virtues No. 3 Peace and Needleworker both by Little House Needleworks.  I  actually finished the stitching on Little Sheep Virtues No. 3. 



And there was a bit of stash enhancement too.  I don't have pictures of that.  You'll see some of those projects in upcoming posts.

Keep on Stitching!

Travel Project

I don't think I've shown this travel project before.  Fun Every Day by Sam Sarah Design Studios.  I have the first one stitched, Tuesday. 



and a great start on the second, January.


I have been working on these on car trips for the most part.  I can't wait until they have all been released.
