I did get quite a bit of cross stitching done on the plane and at night. My dear DIL and I picked out a sampler for the new little Granddaughter coming in June. She selected Dawson's Sampler by Cherished Stitches. We still have not chosen the colors as yet. She and the children will be moving into another home so I have plenty of time to get the sampler done. I want the colors to go with fabric she has chosen for the babies room.
I finished April Word Play and will show it all framed tomorrow. I have a whole month to do May. I bought the additional threads that I will need at a wonderful shop in Decatur, AL called The Cross Stitch Peddler.
We started each day at Starbucks. Grandma is picky about her coffee and hotel coffee is just not quite there! Plus Caleb and Grandpa loved the snacks!
A photo taken while Grandma was at the cross stitch shop!! Don't they look happy. They finally came in and dragged me out!!
Another Happy Day about to begin!
I like to do borders on the plane. I have added the pomegranates since we got home. Oh by the way, this is the beginning of " This is the Day The Lord Has Made." This is part of my New Year's resolution last year. That is to appreciate the wonder of each day and be thankful for all my blessings.
I have changed some colors but will get to that later!
Thanks for joining me . I'm happy to be back visiting all of you my cloud friends!!
glad you got back safely and had such a good trip!

Coming back easy from the west coast is tiring in itself, much less looking after a 7 year old! Sounds like you had a great trip. You made wonderful progress on your sampler and I love why you chose to stitch it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time!!
ReplyDeleteso jealous of your time with your grandson, I miss my grandchildren terribly. My Granddaughter is my Starbucks buddy and she loves going with me to the cross-stitch store or a quilt store :) Can't wait to see them in June.

Does Seattle make coffee snobs!? Ever since moving to the PacNW I've been obsessed about the flavor of my coffee and most places just don't cut it anymore for me either! Didn't you just love the weather this past weekend? Oh so amazing :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome home! I hope that al the family stuff is ok. It looks like you had a wonderful time with your Grandson.
ReplyDeleteI am excited that you will be stitching one of Louise's designs. I will make sure she knows. That is one of my favorites of hers. One where we tell her she hit it out of the park, LOL.
Lovely border progress. So glad that your mojo wasn't upset by traveling.
Hugs!
Glad you're back home safely, Barb, and what wonderful weather to greet you!! Lucky you--our Easter was 40 and rainy :( Glad you enjoyed your time with Caleb--tiring, but rewarding, I'm sure!! He is such a cutie :)
ReplyDeleteLovely new start on your sampler! I'm so impressed that you got all of that done on the plane!! Looking forward to seeing your April wordplay...
