Today I have been working on my "Sampler Stocking." I'm still loving the linen! :)
You'll have to excuse the wrinkles. I was just too lazy to iron today! And my friend Deb says it's not good to iron your silks a lot, so I'm trying not to iron too much. Although the perfectionist in me is cringing a little! :)
I also got a few things in the mail - I know, I know, I've gone a little crazy lately, but I'm slowing down now. I definitely have enough to keep me busy, for a long, long time! I placed an order with Kathy Barrick-Dieter through her Etsy Shop. She has several out of print patterns available for sale. I couldn't resist getting a few. And now I see she's added a couple more, but I will resist!!
This is the folder she sent them in. Isn't it beautiful?? And here are the patterns...
Well, that's all for now! I'm going to try to get back to my stitching before it's time to make dinner again. I think I'm going to make Sausage and Potatoes today. An old Italian recipe passed down through the generations. Write later!
Your WIP's are coming out great. I love the colors on both of them.
ReplyDeleteI am loving your projects! And the wrinkles are no big deal!
ReplyDeleteWonderful progress on your two WIP's! They are both looking fantastic! Great new stash as well!
ReplyDeleteI think you just enabled me with that stash picture. Thanks for being a bad influence.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing Ruthie.
Dear Nicole,
ReplyDeleteStop spending your $ on Esty with the CHS charts and check with me! I have just about all the old Barrick and CHS charts!!! :] I was just going to send you the mermaid chart!! Hugs, your friend, Deb
Great job on your WIP's. I love seeing the progress! Thanks for the plug on CHS patterns, I wasnt able to resist, and have 1 on order. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteLove you WIPs and your stash too. Love Patti xxx
ReplyDeleteOooh, love the WIPs, Nicole! And the stash enhancement. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat Ruthie and Sampler Stocking progress! Did you have to mention that Kathy added more charts to her etsy shop? lol! I'll have to go take a look. I was so mad at my postman -- he folded the envelope that came from Kathy and bent the pretty folder they came in. :(
ReplyDeleteYour Ruthie is looking awesome! Love the old CHS patterns!
ReplyDeleteOK. Yesterday I called you a big enabler and now you are my enabler Queen! ;-) Lovely stash! I will check them out. Ruthie and the stocking are both looking wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYou're making great progress on both of your WIPS. Love the old patterns too. Don't think I've ever seen the Autumn one! Isn't stash enhancement a great thing!
ReplyDeleteI admire all your stitching so much. And you are such a fast stitcher...Your WIP's are looking so lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnd your Stash looks awesome, too.
Nicole, you have two great WIPs on the go. And your new CHS charts just make me drool and I feel the urge come up to let go of the computer and start stitching. The charts are now on my absolutely-buy-list.
ReplyDeleteNicole, Ruthie is looking so pretty! The colors really are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link to CHS etsy! Like you, I purchased Lydia, the mermaid and I also bought Field Array.
Your sausage and potato meal sounds delicious!
Thanks for the heads-up on Kathy's Etsy shop!!
ReplyDeleteLove your stitching progress. The colors on this one just make me feel so happy. :-)
Your WIPs are very inspiring! I note that further down you got PSS Rubie Owl's Sampler..I started on that last night..love both that and Bird in Bower. As a matter of fact, I adore that designer. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour Ruthie is looking wonderful. Great stash enhancement and thanks for mentioning Kathy's Etsy shop. I was able to do a bit of enhancing myself.
ReplyDeleteYour Ruthie is lovely!
