Hi Y'all!

I'm practicing for when I move back South. You'd think I'd be in the South now, but I'm not. I consider Florida the Northern South. Everyone here is from somewhere else like Michigan (my family), Ohio, New York, etc. I can't wait to move back to the South. I can't wait to have some decent barbecue and sweet tea again! :) Anyway, it's just a lazy Sunday here. And I mean lazy! I took a shower and put on some clean pajamas. I have no intention of leaving the house today!

I started Country Cottage Needleworks "Cherry Hill" the other day. I just love all the pink! I'm stitching it on 32 ct. Antique White Lugana.

I needed something quick and fun! It shouldn't take me too long to finish. I also got some fabric I ordered for Drawn Thread's "Random Thoughts." I've had the pattern and threads for a long time now, but after seeing Blandine's stitched I decided to get the fabric. I just love it!!

Well, today is not completely lazy, I'm doing laundry and I guess I'd better get back to it! Write Later! :)

    Cherry Hill is looking great, Nicole :) It was almost what I picked out to stitch yesterday but went with Good Deeds instead :)

    I look forward to watching Random Thoughts progress. I too have had the pattern/fabric forever but have yet to make a start :)

    Enjoy the week:)
    ((hugs))

    Love that Cherry piece! I'm with you...I like the pinks in it.

    And I agree...there's not much Southern about Florida anymore. Too many Yankees bringing in their Yankee culture...LOL!

    I love pajama days! Tomorrow is one for me. Cherry Hill is so pretty and Random Thoughts was a fun, fun piece to stitch. I can see mine from where I am sitting :-).

    BTW, had to laugh at your sweet tea comment, my DH loves it! That's his standard for a good restaurant, do they serve sweet tea, LOL.

    Oh Nicole, you're such a fast stitcher, and so inspiring! I love this Cherry Hill, broke down and ordered it with another leaflet last week but it's still not here yet :(
    Seeing your start makes me want mine even more now!
    Your pictures are always so great :)

    Nicole, you are awesome! You find AND stitch the prettiest pieces! I love the word "y'all"! So much warmer than "yous", which, I never heard till I moved to Florida.... Egad! {;^)
    Pj days are the best! That was my day yesterday & if I didn't have to go get new tires for my car, it would be the same today. Yippee for 3 day weekends! On the way to the tire shop, I'm stopping at Golden Needle to see what is new from Market up close and personal & pick up more fiber for CDC!
    Hope to see you soon!
    xoxo

    Great start on Cherry Hill. I have to agree with you on Florida (well, northern FL is still kinda southern but the further down south you go the more northern it is).

    I just love Cherry Hill and I too have it now! Yours is so pretty already and the colors really stand out so pretty on the white fabric!! I just love this one. I would love to use it for a round robin but the house is a little smaller than I need. That means I get to stitch it for ME!! You are doing a really beautiful job on it!! Debby :)

    The "Nicole Pinks" are out again, I see! :) So fresh and pretty. I love your start on Cherry Hill! Bet it's already finished by now...;) I love the ya'lls and sweet tea days of the true South, but, oh, how we'll miss you, dear Nicole! Love and hugs, Deb
