Hello Again!

Another hot hot hot week! There were several days when the humidity was a bit lower but not enough to get excited about! LOL. I don't think we even have Spring and Fall anymore. Several weeks of the seasonal weather and then we jump right into Summer or Winter!

Here is a new update on Creation Sampler by Words of Praise. I am loving it although I did not get in as much stitching as I had hoped. I want to get this piece finished up so that I can decide on my infusion project, get everything together and get a head start on it.  I was able to get several more designs kitted up over the week. I like to have everything together and ready to start on but it never fails I will choose a design to work on that I don't even have the threads for yet!

I went through my stash over the long weekend and this past week I pulled out some WIPs that I have tucked away in drawers. I had started on Marianne Wenn a few years ago and was looking forward to working on her some more. I found the chart and the threads but the WIP was GONE!!! I looked in all of my usual hiding places. No Marianne. Ah ha, there was one last place I had forgotten about and there she was!

I pulled her out and instantly remembered why I had stopped stitching on her. I did not like the fabric. I had accidentally stitched on the back side of the fabric (the front side was mottled) and did not notice until I was too far along to frog it all out. I was trying to decided whether to pick up where I left off or start new on fabric I really like. With some advice from my stitcher friends, I have decided to start new.

I found several other WIPs that I will share in a later post. I was able to get several sampler designs to add to my stash as well. Ann Pegg 1877 by The Scarlett House and Summer Beaming Forth by Blackbird Designs. I don't even fight the urge or make excuses anymore. It's a losing battle! LOL

Until next time may you have simple days and an uncluttered heart.
