IHSW--February Edition--Before

International Hermit and Stitch Weekend:



I was going to work on my redo of page 1 of HAED QS Lovers BUT I decided to take this weekend and start something new. . .something without confetti stitching. . .something to cleanse the palette as it were. . .

My local cross stitch shop, Fancimats and More, had a trunk show a few weeks ago for The Drawn Thread, I may have picked up a few charts when I went over to check it out. One of them may have been 12 Houses Sampler and that will be what I am starting over this IHSW weekend.

Stats:
Fabric: 28 count "Summer Khaki" Cashel Linen
Thread: 2 over 2

Stashalong--Sign ups end Jan.1

Here are the rules: (1) Must start and try to finish something from your stash yarn(I say "try" to finish because if you pick something huge like an afghan or sweater finishing in three months may not be realistic). (2) You have 3 months and during that time you cannot add to your stash in any way(things ordered before January 1 but not yet delivered do not count--hence the early warning--get it out of your systems, ladies). Of course realistically there is no way to police this, so the honor system is in place. (3) I am beginning on January 1, 2006 and ending March 31, 2006(if there is interest, I'd be glad to start another one after that). (4) Keep me posted on your progress and I will post it once a week--probably Mondays or Tuesdays. I've never attempted to s...

Memory Lane

 Came back…looking through old posts.  There are many times when I really miss blogging. Life has been super busy.  Work, family…pretty stressful. I still have delusions of grandeur that I will find time to get back to the things I love to do unfortunately for the last few years it has been a lot of HAVE to do versus WANT to do.
