Fun thing

I won a pile of counted cross stitch linen on ebay, and I've been stitching as much as I can. I think this vacation just isn't going to be long enough! I found this free pattern on this blog.

The picture is from Nina's blog - another great blog for inspiration.

Enjoy!

There aren't enough hours in the day are there???

I love needlework because it's so portable. I can't use linen -- the thread count is too small, But I love it on Oatmeal Aida Cloth. My daughter stressed over money and what to get me for Christmas. I told her I'm easy-- A handle of DMC Thread and I feel loved....

Great win. Can't see well enough to cross stitch anymore, but love seeing that people still do it.
Thanks for sharing.

Sounds like a lovely win, and no, there are never enough hours in the day for the things we enjoy.

Very sweet stitchery, and lucky ebay win...you go girl! I agree just not enough hours in a day, but then we would just crowd more into it, if we had more! Have a blessed week!

Good win for you! I had planned on being crafty for a while today, but my accumulated messes are preventing me...of course, if I'd step away from the computer right now, I might be able to fit some in! See you later!!

What a cute sampler on a mini-pillow/door hanger? (it looks like)! Well, whatever it is, you have a treasure there - a "Fun thing!" Blessings, Mary, in this new year! TTYL!
