I have decided to start something new and restart something old. I'm in Fredericksburg, Virginia with the kids. We got here about 6 pm. Before leaving I kitted LHN's new design "Starr of Mine" from The Gift of Stitching. I decided to put in a couple stitches tonight....
I mean I literally put a couple of stitches in it (4 1/2 to be exact). I decided to go with one of my favorite linens 32 ct. Vintage Examplar.
The project I have decided to restart is Mary Wigham (I know I restart way too many things - it's definitely a sickness). I saw these silks (scroll down) on Stef's blog and fell in love. And I decided to start from the bottom, which is my favorite place to start. :)
Well, we have a big day tomorrow, so I guess I should get some sleep. I'm hoping I'll have internet in NY, but I'm not sure yet. So I'll write when I can! :)
Oh those silks like scrumptious! Nice! Enjoy your vacation...

I think you're brave and incredibly bold to restart projects. I love that when something isn't exactly how you want it, you just go ahead and make it how you want it. I am so not that brave!
ReplyDeleteWell all the colors look wonderful, can not wait to see your progress on these!!
ReplyDeleteOh how nice to be able to see your projects here, even though you are on the road! I love the colors of your threads here and seeing your new start. Have a safe and happy time and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
ReplyDeleteboth are going to look great Nicole!!! Your projects always do! I am going to have to go check out those silks!
ReplyDeleteNicole, Beautiful new starts (both new and re-do!) I hadn't seen that LHN piece yet but love it already! I hope you have a wonderful trip with the boys! Meredith
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to Gift of Stitching - Starr of Mind looks so pretty. I can't wait to see your finish!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors! Have fun on vacation.
ReplyDeleteYour trip to New York sounds wonderful! Hope you take lots of pictures to share with us! Have fun stitching MW with Bella Soie, they are really yummy silks!
ReplyDeleteNicole,
ReplyDeleteI love all that you do, starts or restarts!! May I ask where you get your floss tags that you use?
Happy Stitching
Connie
Well you were in my neck of the woods yesterday! Your new start is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that you restart projects! I have a tendency to throw them against the wall if I don't like them. Those silks are gorgeous, so I think I can understand why you want to restart! Have fun in NY!
ReplyDeleteI'm always restarting projects! Why do you start at the bottom???
ReplyDeleteLove both of your new starts, Nicole!! Happy stitching and SAFE TRAVELS!

ReplyDeleteboth pieces look wonderful. I know you have said before, but where do you get the floss tags like you have (the white ones) I love them!!! So perfect for projects!
