Squirrel!

I had intended to use my stitching time this weekend to finish this flower on The American Sampler:



I didn't touch it. Why? Because I worked at my LNS Saturday and they had a silk gauze class. There were so many fabulous pieces I HAD to break out my silk gauze stash and start another new project. After all, I've already been working on The American Sampler for ten years--what's another ten....

Note the FINISHED piece (The Pumpkin Sampler from Threads Through Time) on the right. I can't remember how long it's been there, but I wasn't going to do anything with it until I used the other side. After a bit of stash fondling (and determining one chart is MIA...hmm...) I decided on The Mermaid Sampler (also Threads Through Time) because I'm a sucker for ships and mermaids:



I stayed up waaaay too late working on it last night--it's too much fun!

You know things are out of hand when...

...queen stitches on 40ct are a stress RELIEVER....

I've had very little time to stitch, so it took forever to get the little strawberries done.






I'm fooling myself into thinking I can get the queen stitch flower in the upper right finished this weekend.






Place your bets now, folks....

Also, the Madness has taken me, so GO OHIO STATE, U OF A (men), ASU and UCONN (women)!
