Just cannot show much of what I have been stitching on today... all that secret stitching going on over here. But while watching The Holiday on the DVR tonight (loved it!), I did get a bit more of the border done on Serenity. I thought this part would take a while to stitch, and maybe even be boring, but I was wrong on both counts. You may have noticed I am a bit hooked on this sampler right now.
Annemarie tagged me to divulge my "guilty stitching secrets," as I believe she calls them. I must admit that I pondered this for a long time and did not come up with much. But, here goes...
1) Like so many others, I have way more stash than I can ever stitch
2) I have used the excuse of exchanges and gifts to go out and buy stash, even though I have always already had something very appropriate in my stash that I could have stitched for that exchange or gift...
3) I will avoid anything with a bullion knot in it
4) I take classes at festivals, and to date have never actually stitched any of those projects
Stitched on today: Finished a gift, and Serenity **Mailed out SBEBB Rabbit's Big Day Exchange, and mailed out two gifts

I agree with most of your secrets, except I don't mind bullion knots....I guess I wish I had more willpower and didn't buy as much stash. AND I spend way too much time on the computer LOL There is nothing wrong with stitching heaps on Serenity - I say GO FOR IT!!!
Your sampler is looking very pretty.
Serenity is definitely growing! And it's looking so lovely :)
I quite like bullion knots!
Who is the designer of serenity please Carol? It's very pretty.
I haven't actually tried a buillion knot ... yet. ;)
Secret stitching ... so fun to do, but so hard not to share!
Serenity is looking gorgeous and growing quite quickly, you're making great progress.

Serenity is so pretty. I'm looking forward to seeing more.
Serenity is looking great! I love the colors in the border.
Your serenity piece is so pretty! Love it.
Hi Carol:
Your sampler is beautiful. I can see why you enjoy stitching this one : ) I have a few of those 'class/workshop' items in my closet, too. Perhaps they should just be called learning pieces!!!
Enjoy the week-end
Bullion knots look good, but they do cost you your fingers, don't they. Love Serenity!
I'm with you on those secrets! Me too - except for the classes, as I've never attended any. Serenity looks beautiful - glad you're hooked!
