On a shopping stash note - I am waiting for my order still. One chart that I added on late is in the process of being shipped to the store owner - so that's the delay. When I do get that order in I will post photos:) I listen every day for the post person thinking "Today is the day my order will be here!" - LOL.
A few days ago I received a parcel in the mail and this is what I opened....
Pink Rose Stitcher's Tray designed by Lee "Notes from Under the Mountain" blog
Lee's beautiful design is a freebie and can be found at her blog.
I have not seen anything like this before and to now own such a piece by Lee - I am very blessed.
"Summer Loose Feathers 2011" by BBD
36ct Vintage Lt Exampler - Lakeside Linens
Finished "Summer" chart - YEA!!!! and now started stitching "Autumn" the next section of the sampler. For the alphabet I am using my own hand over-dyed DMC floss. When I started the top row I used the DMC then when I got to the bottom row the "S" I used Manor Red by WDW. Well I didn't like it so I left the "S" as is and switched back to using DMC - Liked the coloring better. This is a beautiful design to stitch and I have been enjoying it.
"Fairy Hill" Bothy Threads Cut Thru Sal with Debbie and Linda
I did very little stitching on this but did get some of the pink background done where the fairy is sleeping and above her on the wall I stitched a plaque where I will add my initals and year. When I complete that section I will take a photo close up.
Hope Spring arrives soon for you! With my Appreciation and Love - Annette

What a lovely & thoughtful gift! Beautiful stitching you've done there as well : )
Great stitching! I do love the strawberries on the BBD design.
Very pretty stitcher's tray that Lee made! She is so talented! I was like you a few weeks ago, eagerly awaiting the postman for things I ordered. For some reason this year, all of my orders were very late. Must have been because of the bad weather conditions. Can't wait to see your French stitching! Love the BBD and great progress on your cut thru! Hugs to you dear Annette!
Oh, such an exquisite set from Lee!! I know you will treasure it, Annette :) Such a pretty finish on Summer--on to Autumn!
Your gift from Lee is really lovely. How special of her to add on more pieces for you!

Love your beautiful rose stitching set - what a joy! I have those BBD charts kitted up for "someday", yours look lovely and so does Fairy Hill. Great progress!
The Summer part of the sampler is just gorgeous, and what a contrast to the brighter colors of Fairy Hill.
Wow, love the roses set. Lee does amazing work and her ideas are fantastic.
Enjoy all that gorgeous stash.
Happy St. Patrick's Day to you..
The roses set from Lee is gorgeous! How nice to be able to use it everyday when you are stitching. I added your Fairy Hill pic to the SAL page. You're almost finished! (but I miss Tinkerbell!)
