New Project!!! Perfect!

Dear Friends,

Lucky me!  I have an assignment this summer to do something wonderful!  It's going to take a long time--most of the summer, I'm sure!  Here's a clue:

Yes, it's hardanger!

I haven't done it in a while, not because I didn't have an interest.  Because there are so many fun things to do, I have a hard time settling on one thing.

Anyway, I have a special project to make a very large piece that I can hardly wait to get started!

I get to design the project with a few guidelines, and recently found a wonderful little program to download.  This is the only project I've used it for, but here's where you can get it, too:  KG-Chart LE It seems to do some pretty basic stitches for hardanger.  And I was excited to use it! (It's mostly used for counted cross stitch)

Here's hoping for the thread to come in soon to the little needlework shop we have here in Evanston!  I'm all ready to go!

Wish me luck!

Yours truly, Sue

Schools Out!!!

Yes!!!  And am I ever ready for a little extra time!!!  First, to get some more things on my Etsy Shop, and Second, to get caught up from all the extra work going on!  Who knows, maybe I'll even have some time to finish some of those UFO's (unfinished objects!) that have been trailing around here--IN EVERY ROOM OF THE HOUSE!

Office

Guest bedroom

Even MY bedroom!

Family room

Sunroom

The worst of all is my sewing room.  I suppose that one is very logical!

And then I got really nervous because this isn't even a close start!  Anybody want to help me with my UFO's.  

My goal this summer is to finish one a week!

There!  It's out there!  Please wish me luck!

Yours truly,  Sue
