Well, I said I was going to post and stitch more in the New Year and that really hasn't happened.  Things have been kinda stressful around here because we've been house hunting.  We found one that would be perfect for us - it has a great yard for the boys and lots of room inside.  We are negotiating for it right now, so my stomach is in knots!

I have been stitching a little.  I worked on Charlotte Clayton (sorry for the bad picture)...

Charlotte Clayton
40 ct. Vintage Sand Dune, NPI silks

I also got Ruth Bacheler by The Scarlet Letter back out...

34 ct. Cafe au Lait Legacy Linen (hand-dyed with coffee and/or tea), DMC threads

I got a new pattern in the mail today too!  It's Frances Pool by With Thy Needle & Thread.

I was thinking of stitching it on 40 ct. Lt. Examplar.  I think it's such a pretty sampler!

Well, if everything works out with the house, we'll be closing at the end of next month!  It will be here in no time - I have to start thinking about getting everything packed again!
