Greetings friends and happiest of New Year to you all.....
We are still here at the coast of South Carolina for a brief stay before work resumes on Tuesday, but I did want to share what I have been working on the past several days...
I have been laying some bricks.....and planting a little grass with Sarah.....
Sarah Elizabeth Brooke 1842
The Scarlett House
40 ct Lakeside Vintage Meadow Rue
Belle Soie silks as recommended
Here is how things stood with her at the end of October when I sat her down to work on Christmas stitches.....
Like many of you, I am formulating my 2012 list of wants and to-do's...I have penciled mine down and hope to finalize things in the next couple days....It's an aggressive list....And, fortunately I already have alot of the supplies on hand.....So, we will see!!!
I hope everyone has a great week as we all try to ease back into our normal routines...
Take care......((hugs)) from me to you~~~

Got to stop reading your blog. It makes me want to buy what you are stitching! Great progress and lovely piece.

Happy New Year Faye! I'm looking forward to 2012!
You've made wonderful progress on SEB! I need some of your flying needle magic. :)

Happy New Year! I love your Sarah -- you've really been working on her! I so need to get back to mine. Poor thing is feeling neglected. lol!
Beautiful sampler you are working on! Isn't it fun to make stitching plans for the new year? I have a mental list, but will put it in writing sometime this week. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Yup, Christmas stitching derailed me too, although it was worth it. Your Sarah Liz is beautious! I've started her too, and now I'm off to get her out.
Great progress Faye!! What a stunning piece!
Wonderful progress, Faye! Happy New Year!
You've made good progress! She's a beauty isn't she? No sense my making a list for 2012 since I have a habit of losing lists. Best wishes for the new year.
Beautiful stitching! I am tempted to do this one as well, as my youngest is Sara Elizabeth.....
We will see.
I am just able to comment on Blogs again after months of not letting me...maybe the fact that I updated my Blog today had something to do with that!!!
Happy New Year to you!!!

Happy New Year, Faye! I love Sarah and look forward to seeing your progress.
You better not let any contracters see how fast you lay bricks, they will steal you away from your stitching. Great work as usual!
It is just gorgeous. Such a beautiful project to be stitching on.
You are an amazing brick layer ;-). Happy New Year my friend!
It tis really looking oh so gorgeous, dear Faye! I just love Sarah Elizabeth Brooke...even her name has appeal!!
Happiest of New Year's, dear friend!
Sarah is beautiful!
Happy New Year to you and your family!

Enjoy before the school starts!
