I have managed to finish my first of 15 in the 2011 "Up for a Challenge".... Happy Dance!!
After a long absence and much lingering in my WIP basket, I present to you
Nabby's Garden Sampler by The City Stitcher.....
Done with DMC floss on a tweedy light grey 28 ct linen
This was the oldest of the 15 challenge pieces and was about half completed when I picked it up Jan 1. I love the softer colors... I did have to stop and retrain my eye for a good satin stitch in the border above the alphabet.....
Well, I need to get in the kitchen and rustle up some dinner for my hubby who is not feeling all that good...He'll be better now that he is on an antibiotic...
As for me, these first 2 days back at school has been a big reality adjustment!~~ I got spoiled with the 2 weeks off at Christmas.... Boy, I could SO be retired and be happy!!! But, my family likes to eat, so...you know the drill..........
Have a great rest of the week.....Later tonight I plan on getting busy on my next 2011 challenge piece!!
