Slowly Stitching

My Stitching time has been few and far between lately.  I have been very busy at work, so I haven't been able to sneak in a few stitches during slow times.  The main two projects I have been working on are "Charlotte Clayton" and "A Full Heart."

32 ct. Stone Steps linen, Various silk threads (1 over 2)

I also got a little stash in the mail from Down Sunshine Lane.  Blackbird Designs "A Rosy Morning" and the second part of Shepherd's Fold "My Home Fob."

To save a little money on the fold project I painted my own paper mache box black.  I hope it will look nice once it's all finished.

Well, that's all for now.  Hopefully, I'll have a finish to share one of these days!  Write soon!

    I completely understand work cutting into the creative time. It is what it is and I'm happy to get done the little I do get done. Your black box looks wonderful - I think it's going to look very nice!

    Your stitching looks great, and I love your new stash! I don't understand how women who work and have children get any stitching done at all. You are doing way better than I would!

    Love that cat! Your stitching is so beautiful and neat! You have talent Nicole! Your new stash is pretty nice too. I didn't know you started Snooty. I am about 2/3 done and love it. The colors are great and it is funky enough to add some challenges. Pam

      Thanks Pam! I started Snooty, but then put it away because I was not happy with the linen. I may restart one day... :)

    It is really wonderful to see you stitching here Nicole and as always, your stitching is really beautiful! I too need to get my Charlotte Clayton out of my stash and work on her one day as I never finished her and really do love that one so much. Love the new stash you got from Amy too!!! Have fun stitching and don't work too hard!! Hugs

    Your stitching looks great, as usual Nicole. :)

    I'm going to use a papier mache box too (great minds thing alike!). The shaker boxes are beautiful but are awfully expensive.
