New Stash!

Here is some some stash I've purchased over the past week! Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornament Preview, LHN's Heart & Home Sampler, Curly Q Ewe and the Busy Needle, and finally With Thy Needle's Flag Day. I finally broke down and ordered Flag Day from the website http://www.countrystitchesonline.com. They also have lots of cool jewelry and charts from other designers.

Betsy

Here's my progress on Betsy. It's kind of slow going over one but I love this piece! It's fun to stitc because you see results quickly--Love it!

Dip Diddly Designs is having a giveaway on her blog here http://dipdiddlydesigns.blogspot.com/2009/07/my-first-giveaway.html.

I've been working on 'Betsy' from Sheepish Designs. Stitching it on 40 ct Antique Cotton with DMC and using one thread over two. It's hard on the eyes to get used to the 40 ct but I think the end result will be worth it. I'll post a picture of my progress on 'Betsy' soon.

'Traveling Stitcher'

Little House Needleworks

32 ct Lambswool Linen

Started 6/10/09

Finished 7/8/09

I loved stitching this one. I'm new to LHN and I like how quickly Diane's designs stitch up. There are so many projects on my list right now, I'm not sure when I'll start the main part of Traveling Stitcher.

Setting Up My Blog

I think setting up my blog will be a slow process. I'll have to take some pictures to download this weekend of my stitchy projects and WIPs. Since I've spent hours reading other stitchy blogs I thought it was high time I started my own.

Updates will follow.
