As I was starting to get concerned about getting started on the next Neighborhood Round Robin (Group 3), and having it finished in time for the first mailing on July 15, I decided to get started tonight. I was able to grid my fabric and stitch quite a lot of my design. After getting this much done tonight, I am no longer worried about meeting the deadline. And, I hope that when stitchers receive my RR, they may feel a sense of relief, as I chose to make my blocks only 60 x 60 stitches. I am using 36 ct Summer Khaki Edinburgh linen, and am stitching part of Geranium House by Country Cottage Needleworks to start it off. I am asking each stitcher to stitch a house of any style they choose, as long as it is the house she would like to live in in my neighborhood :-)
It is also Christmas Ornament SAL weekend, and I stitched this one up today. It is Merry Christmastide by Shepherd's Bush. I plan to finish this off into a small needleroll with a little ribbon on the top to hang on the tree. I will do that as soon as I can find the time.For those who asked, Mike loves his new iPhone. He found it does have a couple of glitches (all related to photos and transferring them, or some such thing), but apparently nothing major. He has it with him all the time, that is for sure - LOL
I am not sure how I got all of this done today. I did a lot of other things today, yet also got this stitching done... very strange. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!
Stitched on today: Stitched ornament for Christmas Ornament SAL, and started my Hello Neighbor Round Robin, Group 3

Pretty ornament Carol! How many houses will you have in your neighborhood?
Love the ornament, and LHN have such lovely houses. Great start for your RR.

Your 1st house looks great, cant wait to see who moves in!!
I had to order my iphone =o(, but glad to hear not many glitches.
Nice start on the RR and the ornie is lovely
Love your round robin! I am still trying to figure my layout and get it basted so I can start :-).
Fabulous start, Carol! I'll start thinking about what to stitch for you now, 'cause I'm next! 60 x 60, though. That IS a relief, but quite difficult to find such a small house...
You certainly were a very busy girl Carol - wonderful results.
Great start to your neighborhood RR. These neighborhoods always fasinate me as I find the stitchers are so inspired and creative.
Your RR looks like it will be off to a great start, Geranium House is such a fun one. Also, your new ornament turned out lovely, it will look great hanging on the tree.
