Two More Finishes

I'm always so happy when I've finished a project, and I recently completed two -- double the happiness!  Before I take them to my framer, The Crafty Ewe, here's a peak:



          A photographer I'm not!

This is Little House Needleworks' "Needleworker" which was a dream to stitch. I used threads from Crescent Colors (the company is now called Classic Colorworks) on 40 count Light Vintage Examplar linen.

My second finish:


This cutie finish is "A Red Cottage" from Plum Street Samplers. I've always had a soft spot for samplers with red houses--and this one had two--but then I fell in love with the giant circular flowers.

I am currently working on two Stitch-Along projects:  "Two Snooty Parrots" by Barbara Ana Designs and "Por Luciana Delgado" by NeedleWork Press.  Both projects have been divided into small, easy-to-complete sections by month, so I have plenty of time to stitch my other projects such as "Elizabeth Sheffield" by the Scarlet Letter.

FYI:  The group for Two Snooty Parrots SAL can be found on the Facebook page entitled "Sampler World Snooty Parrots SAL 2014".  For more information on the "Por Luciana Delgado" SAL, visit The Attic Needlework website at www.atticneedlework.com
 
I hope you all have a little time today to spend doing what you love.  For me, it's putting in a few stitches and seeing a little progress on my work.
