Hi there ...

Happy Sunday! I hope everyone has had a great weekend. My weekend was filled with yard work with hubby, some MLS (WTG Sounders!), some NASCAR (if they every get the track dry!), lots of Mad Men watching (season 2, episode 6) and a nap! lol I thought I would give you a very wrinkled look at a couple of my rotation pieces ... first up is Peppermint Twist by BRD. I haven't worked on this lovely for a long time. PT is my Monday rotation piece. I just love this design and the Belle Soie's are wonderful to stitch with. I'm glad to have it back as an active rotation piece ... Here's my Tuesday rotation ... Autumn Song that I'm SALing with Natasha . Just a couple more leaves and this pretty will be done ... And here's what I picked to replace Primitive Wizard of Oz that I finished last week ... Wednesday's piece is Earth Laughs by Mdesigns ... fun fun fun stitch ... I've been stitching on a couple of exchanges that I can't show you yet, but I can show

I followed the Yellow Brick Road ...

And look what I found at the end ... I loved stitching this design, Primitive Wizard of Oz. I used the suggested fabric and threads, 32ct Raw Linen and a mix of DMC and Crescent Colors. It was stitched with one strand over two threads. Now I can't wait to get it framed. Now I get to find something else to put in it's place on my rotation schedule ... wonder what it will be?? We had a lovely weekend here ... sunny but still a bit chilly ... perfect for yard work ... So Sunday I got my hands dirty and it was heaven! I forget how much I really enjoy working in yard ... even if it was mostly winter cleanup. But I did plant some ranunculus ... they are one of my favorite flowers. Such vivid colors. I found some at Trader Joes Friday night ... I've never seen them for sale as cut flowers. Of course I had to buy some and oh are they pretty ... they are the flowers in my blog picture. The rest of my weekend was spent with family and friends, some soccer and racing too ... p
