Stitching

Hello! I've been down with a stubborn cold ALL week (still have a fuzzy head but I think I'm getting better). So I've done no sewing lately and I'm *this* close to having a new quilt top finished, can't wait to show you!

What I have been doing is slowly and steadily working on my cross stitch!

It was slow going when I first started on the frame. It's been so long since I've cross stitched and I was completely clueless doing it on the linen. But thanks to a browse on the internet I made sure I was going about it the correct way and eventually got the hang of it. Love how this came out!

Okay, so unless you've been living under a rock you've at least heard of Downton Abbey. Season 3 starts tomorrow!!! YAY! I don't watch a lot of TV but I'm totally hooked on this show.

A few days ago I decided to join the Woodland Sampler club. You've heard of The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery, right? I've been eyeing their cute cross stitch patterns for a few years now but none of them seemed perfectly my style until this years sampler. 

I cross stitched years ago and I'm looking forward to starting this little project. I ordered my floss and got my other supplies all ready. Should be fun! (but NOT while watching Downton Abbey. No, that requires my full, rapt attention LOL!)
