Another Start...

I think I may have a case of startitis! :) I started Joyful Summer yesterday to work on in between my LH Neighborhood. I'm going to wait to work on the Lizzie Kate Christmas Double Flips until the next set comes out so I can work from the bottom up, which is how I'm most comfortable stitching. Here's my little "Joyful Summer" Progress pic...

And here is my latest LHN pic...

LHN LH Neighborhood as of 7/10/08

I'm having so much fun stitching this one. I love the design, the fabric and the basic DMC threads.

Pink Carnation

Here's a carnation from the latest bunch I bought. I know carnations aren't roses, but they are still pretty. Especially the pink ones. There's something so simple and sweet about them. :)

Write later!

    I love your new start on Joyful Summer!!That is going to be so pretty. I loved doing mine. Your Little House Neighborhood has soooo much done already! I started the border yesterday, only to realize that I somehow was off centering the pattern and I had to begin again on a new piece from the other half of my Exemplar fabric. It was faster than frogging out what I had done. I am on track though now. You have made some beautiful progress!

    If I buy my Mum flowers its always pink carnations they are her favourites. Roses are best on the plant they do not last in the house and I never ever buy them as a cut flower.

    Love both your wips
