Could it be true?

Rumors are swirling that the Petei line might be picked up.  Wouldn't that be wonderful? 

All these were stitched by G.

It's Mine!

Birdhouses by Ewe and Eye

I have been thinking about this canvas ever since I first laid eyes on it.  So adorable and it is now mine! I bought it with a gift certificate that my husband got me for Mother's Day.  I love it.

Walls of the inn

I am digging this rock stitch by Amy, but do have to say that it is labor intense.  This is the result of about four hours of stitching this afternoon.  Some interruptions to reload the washing machine and put away the clean clothes, but pretty steadily stitching.  More to follow.

Rocking it with my creche

Here's what eight hours of steady stitching will get you:

Rocks on the inn

Close-up

As Amy describes it, the stucco has worn off the wall of the inn and stones are exposed.  This is a cool stitch with cross stitches, modified scotch, diagonal stitches followed with an oblique stitch at the end.  Very rock like.  I hope I can finish on Monday.

More on the Kelly Clark Creche

Just a little more stitching on the grass last night.

The Year So Far

There was no stitching yesterday.  I had to get my eyes checked.  Holding steady which at my age is a good thing.  Here is what I have finished for this year:
