So little Fall around here

Fall is somewhat in the air down here in Texas.  It will be in the low 80's today instead of the high 90's.  I have very little fall stitching to put out.  Perhaps that needs remedying.

Fried or soaked

There was not a lot of stitching here this weekend.  I spent Saturday getting a fresh sunburn watching my favorite tennis player.  We spent all day Sunday waiting around for a break in the rain.  Here's what I managed in between events.  My new sampler from Ewe and Eye that I bought at their sampler trunk show.   It's still going on if you are interested.

Road trip with a side trip

On a whim, I decided to go to Houston to furniture shop.  I had to stop at Chaparral to say Hi to Carolyn and Sally Anne.  There was a sampler trunk show.  There were so many adorable stitched examples.  Uh-oh!

Ewe and Eye

I bought this one to stitch for my powder room.

Isn't that always the way?  Ran out with an inch to go!

From a class a long time ago...

I took this class from Kelly Clark at The Needle Works ages ago.  Designed by Kelly with a stitch guide by her.  It was not easy for me.  Instead of persevering, I put it away.  For some reason, I was in the mood to work on it yesterday.  Here's how it looked when I pulled it out.

 I tore out all the background.  My canvas is off by two threads and I could never compensate.

Cleaned up

 I changed the border.  The darker red in the upper part is part of the original stitch guide.  The lower part is my contribution.

Something new and cute

I got my Kelly Clark Pear kitted up from The French Knot.  It came with a stitch guide and threads.
