Happy Easter!

I didn't stitch any eggs nor bunnies, but a little progress on my three projects since my last post....long time ago....

First there is Scarlet's Christmas Sampler by Chessie & Me:

Then Jenny Bean's Halloween Sampler closer to finish:


And Susan Rambo, still my favourite to stitch on. I just wish I could spend more time stitching...

I started running again since most of the snow has finally disappeared. Not really a lot to talk about yet but at least I made my first steps outside. Usually getting started again is the hardest part, so I am looking forward to running be fun again ;)

Once again....

After I got my order from "The Silver Needle" I couldn't withstand the temptation to start Scarlet's Christmas Sampler. A companion piece from Chessie & Me to the Jenny Bean Samplers from Shakespeare's Peddler. It is pretty small, only 93x93 stitches. So it shouldn't take too long. I ordered the chart and the GAST Limited Edition threads. Very nice colours :) The chart comes with 36ct Vintage Pearled Barley by Lakeside Linens and it feels kinda strange to stitch on 36ct, since I usually stitch on 40ct. I wasn't stitching too much lately, as the last 2 weeks were quite busy. Last weekend we went for a shopping weekend to Bismarck, ND. But shopping is a good alternative to stitching ;) I will post pictures of my progress on Jenny Bean and Susan Rambo in my next post. Have a fun stitchy night everyone....
