More Paradise Lost

I'm addicted to this design. I can't stop stitching! My house is in shambles and I ordered pizza today, so I wouldn't have to cook! I finally started the laundry tonight (I was planning on doing it first thing this morning).

Paradise Lost as of 10/7/09

I just love Paulette's version of Adam & Eve....

Elvis and Pricsilla

Aren't they cute? Eve sort of reminds me of Priscilla Presley. So I decided to change their names to Elvis and Priscilla. :)

Well, the dryer just buzzed. I'd Better get folding! Write soon!

    Yeah, I can definitely see the Presley's in there. lol But it's almost unfair that she is dressed and he is only covered by a leaf. ;)-

    I'm just catching up on your posts, Nicole! I'm so glad you started on Paradise Lost so I can see what the design looks like up close. I can tell how much fun you are having with it as it looks great, and I like how you've dubbed it "Elvis & Priscilla!". Cute!

    ps Love all that new stash too!

    You're stitching up a storm there Nicole - looking great! I just love your With My Needle - I just found out a few days ago the chart had been released as single - I fell in love with it after seeing Terri's on the Legacy board several months ago. I can't wait to stitch it - the colors are so rich. Elvis & Priscilla are wonderful LOL.
