A New Start

I really tried to be good. I tried to work diligently on my wips. But I received some stash in the mail yesterday and I was bored and those two things are never a good combination, so I started something new...


Historic Stitches "Victorine Bonnegent 1808."

I was going to stitch it on Light Examplar, but my brain left me and I cut the fabric without leaving a margin - duh!! So I found some regular Examplar and decided that I liked it better anyway. Here's what I got done last night...


Victorine Bonnegent on 36 ct. Examplar using Waterlilies "Cherry" #101.


I have been looking for something to stitch using the Cherry Waterlilies and one day I was searching online and saw this chart and I knew that was it! :) I'm loving it so far!

I had a nice visit with dh. We went to Savannah and it was just gorgeous and I forgot my camera! I was so mad at myself! Oh well, it's an excuse to go back again one day. I'd love to take one of those tours to really learn about the different buildings and history. I think my dh is going to come down this weekend and we're going to celebrate Matthew's one year birthday a little bit early.

Well, not much else going on here. I got a little more stash in the mail yesterday that I will share tomorrow! Write later! :)

    Love the sampler. You have a nice start. I know how it is when you see something like that sampler, it is like your hands itch until you are able to start it. Then it is like a good book, you cannot put it down. Keep going.

    I love the colors that you chose for Victorine! I stitched this a year or so ago and it remains one of my favorites. Can't wait to watch your progress! :)

    Wow, I can't believe that Matthew is so close to his first birthday already. How fast has this last year gone?
