Back to Houses of Hawk Run Hollow again today. I miss stitching the other pieces in my rotation, and I hope I will get a chance to do so soon. As much as I love this sampler, I am a rotation stitcher at heart and am itching to switch again. I spent a good portion of today's stitching time trying to untie quite a knot in my skein of Platinum VC silk. I lifted it out of its Floss A Way bag when I went to start stitching this afternoon, and somehow it was knotted up. I don't know how. It looked just fine when I put it in the Floss A Way bag last night... Anyhow.... I sure didn't want to waste any of this silk, because the VC silks skeins are really very small. They are only six strands of silk, and are "approximately" five yards in length. I am already concerned that I may not have enough of some colors to finish this project... same with Garden Spot Sampler, as Jo has also noticed... Houses of Hawk Run Hollow sure is not a quick stitch! I put quite a bit of time into it tonight and only finished the platinum that finishes the front of the house, and a little more of the lace agate on the side of the house.... And, believe it or not, I saw someone on one of the BBs actually has stitched this big honker of a sampler twice already! LOLThe Patriots showed signs of their old championship form today - it helps to have injured players start to come back healthy - as they beat the Buffalo Bills, 35-7....

Hi Carol,
Congratulations!
And thanks for sharing with all of us, I enjoy reading your weblog!
I didn't comment much, but I'm reading a lot. :o)
Bye Juul :o)
I have been reading your weblog daily since I picked my needle back up in August. I'm always inspired by your progress and speed!, although I don't always comment. Thank you for making us all a daily part of your life.
Happy Blogging Anniversary Carol. I have a long way to go for that, but I will get there.
Your houses are looking great.
Hi Carol! Happy one year anniversary! I have been a lurker for a few months and I love your blog. I always know there will be an update on your projects every day and you have inspired me to be more disciplined about stitching. You do amazing work and I love your cats updates. I too have 3 cats that like to "help" me stitch.
Keep stitching!
Happy Anniversary - I don't know how long exactly I've been reading your blog but it's been a while. The crazy amount of large projects you work on and finish is just amazing and inspiring! Keep up the good work :)
Happy anniversary Carol! You have a great welcoming blog, and it's always a treat to read it. So keep up the good work! We'll celebrate your second anniversary with even more fellow stitchers!
Hugs!
Happy anniversary, Carol! You have become part of my daily routine as well - I read your blog everyday over my coffee, without fail. Thanks for bringing some sunshine in my life!
Hi, Carol. I read your blog everyday too, but have never commented. Thanks for all the inspiring stitching you do, and for keeping us motivated by your progress. Thanks again!

Happy anniversary! I too, am a daily reader. Even when I don't have time for all the blogs in my sidebar (like tonight), yours is one of the 5 or 6 I "always" make a moment for.
Your HoHRH looks so lovely. And today I received the fabric and DMC skeins from you, which makes me more eager than ever to finish my Christmas obligations and get started on "my" projects!
Happy Anniversary, Carol!
Your progress looks great!
Happy bloggy anniversary, Carol! It's so nice to have you in the blogosphere, as your progress is always so motivating.
Now, if only I could figure out why your RSS feed doesn't seem to work right. Might have had something to do with your blog name change, or perhaps you turned it off? If the latter is true, can I beg you to turn it back on? ;) It helps me keep up with blogs easier... and yours is definitely one that I want to keep track of!
Congratulations on your anniversary! How many years?
