I thought I would stitch all weekend, but I ended up cleaning instead. I'm always amazed at how cluttered things get! I was very close to starting "The Plantation Sampler" last night. I got all the threads together and on thread drops. They are so pretty!
But I figured I'd better try to get Miss Lila's House finished first. I already have way too many things started! Hopefully I can get it finished up sometime this week.
My dh is now home again and the kids are flocked around him watching the NBA playoffs. They love their daddy! :) I'm glad he's home too, I really missed him (even though he is like a fourth child sometimes)! Well, nothing else going on. Going to try to get some stitching done! Write soon!
The colours look yummy, can't wait to see you start this.
ReplyDeleteThose colors look nice, but I bet you'll cave and start on it anyway. :D
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful! I love these colours/
ReplyDeleteThe colors are delicious! will be looking forward to seeing your WIPs.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors!
ReplyDeleteThe colors look so nice for the Plantation Sampler. I know that I'm going to have to do this one of these days. And I hear you on the cleaning - you start on that and no stitching gets done!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are beautiful, Nicole. I, too, can't wait to see your start.
ReplyDeleteMy DH is like a second son, so I know what you mean!
Don't you love the Plantation Sampler colors? They're luscious! I know the feeling with the cleaning. It's awful how you clean and then you have to clean again!
ReplyDeleteDid you change the colors from the charted DMC? I finally found this chart and was thinking of changing it to Vikki HDF. But still just thinking. :-)
ReplyDeleteStitching is so beautiful! I know what you mean about cleaning house. Mine is a bit messy right now because its hard stitch alot and keep the house clean. I used to blame it on kids but I can't anymore :)

Lovely sampler!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean... I always tell people I have 5 kids, 3 real kids, our beagle and of course, my husband ;-)
Me too. I'm off this week but the first part will be a lot of 'spring cleaning' and tidying up. I'm trying to get stitching in too...I have a list that could fill up summer, never mind a week!
ReplyDeleteWhile I look forward to seeing you work on Plantation Sampler, I hope you get Miss Lila finished too as I would love to see the whole thing done!
I've been on a cleaning frenzy this weekend. Now I'm going to flop on the sofa and try to get some stitching done. The colours look beautiful, can't wait to see your progress! :)
ReplyDeleteHousework instead of stitching . . . are you crazy? LOL just kidding! The new one that you kitted looks fantastic and those colors are wonderful! Looking forward to watching you stitch this one! So glad that you are all enjoying time with daddy/hubby!
ReplyDeleteThose threads are lovely, Nicole! Enjoy that clean house, that always helps!;)
