Flitting about

We've had a few days of unseasonably warm temps here in Wisconsin, so I tried to get outside and do some yard work while it was nice; those first few days of spring-like weather are so liberating! As a result, I didn't have as much stitching time, which is okay because I'm having a hard time sticking with any particular project

I did make a start on the anniversary piece, which has a beautiful blue palette but is going to get pretty repetitive with the border:


I managed to get the stitching done on the next two birthstone designs, but don't have the beads to finish them. To save on shipping from Canada I'm waiting until a couple more are released, and the last time I ordered it took five weeks to get here, so I'm guessing it will be a while before I get back to these!


This past week I noticed that Mill Hill had released six new Laurel Burch kits, dogs this time, and I just had to order them. Of course, I already have the six cat kits, so I pulled one out and made a start on it; this one is called Feathered Friend:


Hope everyone has a great stitchy weekend!

    Lovely progress on everything and I have times like that too, when I'm not interested enough in something to put much time into it at once. I'm having one of those currently actually. :)

    The Sampler will be pretty with the blue colors.
    What a great idea to stitch the Birthstones on 1 piece of fabric.
    Cute cats!

    I love the colours on the anniversary piece. I too find it very difficult to stitch pieces that are too repetitive though...it's just so boring lol:)

    Beautiful start and progresses.
    I'm stitching but it's a period that I have no time for me so I made little progresses. Ciao

    You're waiting to save on shipping from Canada lol It's totally the reverse for me. I'm constantly trying to save one shipping from the US :P

    Great progress on everything Mel. It's a shame your birthstones will have to wait so long for the beads but it will give us something to look forward to. :)

    Fantastic stitching. I didn't know about the Laurel Burch dogs, I'll definitely have to find those. :)
