As I mentioned last night, I was in the mood to start a new small/medium project for myself. I dug around in my stash for a little while this morning, and rediscovered that I had House Samplings by Hillside Samplings fully kitted up - it looked just perfect to start today. It is packed with specialty stitches and uses only one strand of floss on 32 ct linen... very delicate, and I am just loving it already. I am stitching it on the called for R&R Reproductions 32 ct Creek Bed Brown linen with DMC floss.
Mother Nature just is not happy at all - this is what I woke to this morning... and to think, in just over a week the Red Sox return to Fenway Park - they can't play in the snow, so I hope Mother Nature gets over her crankiness soon!
Stitched on today: Started SBEBB Here's to Ewe Exchange, started a PIF gift, and started House Samplings **Mailed out HoE Pinkeep Exchange today

Lovely new start Carol!
Wow, that snow looks amazing. I suppose you would be sick of it all by now (Just as we are over the hot days down here - the days are starting to cool down here so I expect the sun is on his way up to your end of the world soon).
Looks more like Winter than Spring - when is the warmer weather coming?
I think you must be a frustrated architect, Carol - you're working on HOHRH, you're involved in several neighborhood round robins ... and for your free-time project for yourself you choose more houses! LOL!!
Sorry about that snow. I hope spring is just around the corner.
Fantastic new start. I really like Hillside Samplers.
I can't believe you all had snow yesterday. It was 68 and sunny here. We are definitely breaking through to spring.
I love your new project! Sorry about the snow. It's been raining a lot here lately and I am dying to get out of the house for a nice long walk!
Great new start Carol, it's looking lovely
Great start Carol!! It's a lovely design!
Nice new start. Snow, more snow. I don't think Mother Nature has a sense of humor these days. She is just really annoying.
Lovely new start Carol.
I just wish we could one big snowfall like that and I'd be happy. I bet you must be pretty fed-up of it now.
What a great start Carol! I have to laugh since I lived in Boston the last two years ... I must have been there for the mild winters. There were only a few big storms that I remember (though I do remember it snowing St. Paddy's Day weekend last year). Hoping the Red Sox won't be "snowed" out next week! Have a great weekend.
Great new start! So sorry about the snow we have been lovely Spring weather but tomorrow the high is 47F yikes!
What a great start. You're right about the snow. There's lot's of it.
Wow all that snow, it's getting very summer-y over here in CA. It looks amazing all that snow.
Lovely new start =)
House Samplings is lovely. It is a great design -- you are doing a wonderful job stitching it up : )
Can you believe the snow storms? I'm beyond sick of them.
Started the Other Boleyn Sister, it really is interesting. Esp because we all know the history of Henry + his wives.
Carol-all I can think is brrr when I see that picture...Thank God I moved down to NC...as for the Red Sox...I'll keep my Yankees comments to myself! :) Good luck this season.
