It's the weekend! And it looks like it will be a great one! Before I start on my list of errands, I thought I would update here.

First, pictures of little things from my life lately:

I saw Joy's wonderful finish of Goode Huswife's One Seed For Another and it inspired me to pull out my chart and order supplies for it. I liked the fabric she chose, 40 count Vintage Pearled Barley and her conversion to NPI silks, which she shared. Here are the supplies:

I worked a little on Shores and finished outlining the first square and worked on the rocks. I'm still enjoying this design.

Remember cute little Mr. Carrot Nose on his spotted pony? Here he is now:

He apparently couldn't control his spotted pony whose head ended up being one square away from the tree trunk. Now they are both being removed and redone. Taking out this much of something I stitched would usually make me not want to finish the project, but I really like this design so I will keep working on it and will try to pay more attention to the count!

Today is a beautiful day and perfect for picking out annuals for the front porch and rummaging around in flea markets and antique stores. All of which I hope I to do.

That's it for now! I hope everyone has a great weekend!

For the past couple of years, I have enjoyed reading, and been inspired by, so many different blogs about cross stitch that I have decided to have one of my own. I hope I find it fun to keep up, but if not I will stop and just enjoy other blogs!

So many charts, so little time! I decided to try a rotation so I can at least work on several different pieces during the week. The rotation as it stands now is :

Monday : A Stitcher's Prayer, Carriage House Samplings
Tuesday : My Betrothed, Birds of a Feather
Wednesday : Harvest Sampler, Notforgetten Farm
Thursday : Pears, Hands to Work
Friday : Holding open for Shores of Hawk Run Village SAL
The Weekend : Free days for what sounds like most fun

So far it's worked well. I like all of these projects so it's good to be able to work on each of them.I hope to have progress photos up soon!

But til then, Miss Kitty. As you can tell, she has a hard time relaxing!
