Weekend Update

Happy Sunday all! Hope you remembered to "spring forward." Doesn't seem fair to have one less hour this weekend but guess I won't feel that way in the Fall when I get it back. LOL!

This week I worked on a new model for Little House Needleworks and all I can say is that fans of LHN won't be disappointed. In between that project I got some smaller pieces done to add to my ornament collection. I now have quite a few piled up so I need to make a date with my finisher Bette and let her do her magic.

Yesterday I spent the day with a few gals from my local stitching group at one of our favorite shops and managed to make a little progress on my BBD piece. I also added Prairie Schooler's "Woodland Santas," Book 96 to my collection and some navy blue 25 ct. lugana to stitch them on. I have a friend who did them on the dark fabric and they really turned out so pretty. Stitched over 1 they will make great ornaments.

Love the little finishes you have. And I can't wait to see the modle you have been working on.

Hope to make it to a GTG again. Saturdays are so hard for me with work. I am in need of some stash buying, just alittle ;)
Take Care

Beautiful stitching Milly. I hate daylight savings time. Wish we didn't have to participate! We didn't used to here until about 2 or 3 years ago. :0P~~~ I liked it much better the other way round.

I can't wait to see the new LHN. Helga's little designs are so nicely done and Beneath the Sunlit Sky is really pretty, I can't wait to see how you finish that one. It got dark at our house around 4 this afternoon and that is way too early!!!
