It's not the greatest pic, but I think you get the idea. :) As far as stitching I have been fleeting from one thing to the next. Trying to settle on something. I stitched a little bit more on my Stacy Nash pillow..
And I decided to start Lizzie Kate's "Christmas is Forever" kit. I just got a little bit stitched on that yesterday...
And today while looking through Andrea's albums I came across her "With my Needle" by The Goode Huswife and fell in love! I realized I have that pattern after doing a search. So I pulled the DMC. I can't decide whether to use 32 ct. linen or 40. I should probably go with the 32 since I can only stand stitching on 40 ct. for so long! Here's a pic of the threads on 40 ct. Light Examplar...
Well, my dad just called and he's on his way! Write later (hopefully with some stitching progress to share)!
Beautiful furniture and living room...your starts look great too...and love that Good Huswife design.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your dad and wife!

Your living room looks beautiful! When I lived in Charlottesville my living room was painted in the same color. I rent a house now, so it's drabby white walls for me. I try to make it more colors with curtains, pillows and artwork. But nothing is better than deep olive or chocolate walls...
ReplyDeleteYour living room looks very cozy~ I wish I could paint my walls but it's impossible in rental apartments..... That's way I volunteered to help my sister paint when she bought her house~ ^^
ReplyDeleteYour new starts look lovely! Can't wait to see their progress~
I have enjoyed seeing an American style sitting room, surprised it's not so far different to a British one really apart from we are all very beige here on the whole. I think a leather suite is the 'in' thing in the western world LOL including in my house this year , we have dark brown ;-) Anyway yours all looks gorgeous and I love love love your big windows :)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend
What a lovely room, Nicole. I love all the windows!
ReplyDeleteYou have some sweet projects there. I know what you mean, sometimes even when you have all these things to stitch you just can't settle on one that you are really excitied about. It'll come. Have a good weekend.
I love your living room and the furniture is gorgeous! Love the lamps and pillows as well.
ReplyDeleteGreat projects for being in a slump :) Your new furniture looks great!
ReplyDeleteYour living room looks so inviting. The leather couch looks comfy, the room looks tidy, and everything's ready for when your father arrives. I know what it's like when you're trying to get things in order for when guests visit.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can find a project that you can enjoy. Maybe it's a case of having too many other things on your mind to really get into your stitching. That Good Huswife pattern has caught my eye - not another thing to add to my stash list? lol
I love your living room, it looks fabulous !
ReplyDeleteYour living room is very beautiful - love your new furniture!
ReplyDeleteGreat new stitching starts - especially the Goode Huswife piece.
Love the living room, Nicole! It looks very cozy--and what a wonderful wall of windows! Great stitching projects, too. Good luck with the slump. I HATE feeling so restless about my stitching but maybe once you get stuck into a project, you'll be okay & feel a bit more settled. Enjoy your dad's visit!
ReplyDeleteI have to comment on your blog. I really like it. You have really got nice pictures of your cross stitching projects. It just makes me wanna cross stitch all day long when I look at them.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the god work.
And by the way, the living room looks nice. Your guests will agree on that. :o)
your living room is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour living room looks great, Nicole! Enjoy your dad and wife's visit :)
ReplyDeleteI love your livingroom. I have black leather furniture as well, and it is very practical!
ReplyDeletePS You have been tagged. See my blog for details. :)
Your living room looks marvelous! It's nice to have big windows isn't it? We're long over due for a living room makeover.
ReplyDeleteFigured out where to put your stitching nest yet? Maybe that's why you're in a slight slump, LOL!
Your living room looks so comfy and inviting. Good idea to go with dark leather sofa's too. We've got chocolate brown leather ones. Easy to keep clean with the kids.
ReplyDeleteYour living room looks soooo comfy, cozy and pretty!
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on your stitchings:)
Looks like you have some great projects on the go.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice visit! I'm sure they'll love your new furniture. Hope your stitching itch comes back soon -- withall those beautiful pieces you've been working on recently I see no reason for it to be gone long :)
ReplyDeleteLove your new furniture! You've made the room look fantastic! Your stitching slump will fade before long! Enjoy your dad!
ReplyDeleteYou have some wonderful large windows. Your new room decor looks fabulous. Have an enjoyable time with your dad and wife.
ReplyDeleteHi Nicole:
ReplyDeleteYour home is just beautiful! Congrats on your lovely new furniture! I love your stitching too and With My Needle looks like a beautiful pattern. I got Peppermint Lane from CCN and Hen Party from LHN! Thank you for your concern about my hospital visit! I just can't tell you how relieved I am to have it over with! Enjoy your visit with your dad! Debby:)
Your living room looks lovely - I've just moved myself, and have bought some new living room furniture. I haven't had the chance to take pictures of it as yet, though.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new furniture! Love your SN piece and that Goode Huswife piece will be gorgeous!
