Happy Dance!

I fixed my point driver so The Cranberry Sampler is framed and so is Bands of Pearle, which was my birthday present from my stitching alter ego, Laura. I haven't picked out a spot for either of them yet, because it will require rearranging my dining room and living room. So they may just sit propped on chairs for a while so I can admire them.

I wish you all could see them close up. I love whitework so much, but my photography skills are just not good enough to do them justice.

I've been moving right along on the Red and Black II. The black isn't as boring as I thought it would be, but the red adds so much ooomph that I can hardly wait to get to it. Maybe that's what is motivating me.

A New Start

Yes, I finished The Cranberry Sampler! Woohoo! It should be framed within the week. And yes, of course, I'll post pictures.

So rather than cruise through my stash, I chose Prairie Moon's "Red and Black II". It's a very striking piece, but I hope I don't go nuts stitching with black for the next several weeks! I did change the red. The original was a little too orange for my tastes.
