And so my sampler progresses. I've finished the little saying and am now working on the motif-heavy middle section. That's the beginnings of a house on the left. I discovered an error so I had to unpick stitches on a few of the letters, but I think I am back on track. The design is "February" by Prairie Schooler by the way.
And I decided I needed a nice, small project to work on, so I have started the little lighthouse design from the "Weather Wise" chart by Prairie Schooler. It is working up quickly, though again that dreaded white floss. I love the design, though, so it will be worth the struggle.
Winter has properly arrived here. It has been snowing steadily since last night. The university closed for the day, so I had a free day, which I have managed to completely fritter away doing nothing much. I made cookies and walked on my treadmill. I did a little reading, but otherwise I haven't a clue where the rest of the day has gone. Now had I been at work, every second of the day would have been apparent to me, but isn't that always the case! Maybe I'll even be able to add a few stitches to these before the day is finished!
Ahhh, a snow day! I might have one of those in a couple of days though I can still work at home. Is that good or bad? hmmm?
Love February. Why isn't that in my stash yet? I always love seeing PS stitched up on your blog! Happy Stitching!

Nice progress on February as well as your other WIPs! I just started Rain, Rain Go Away yesterday as part of the Crazy January challenge. I love PS but don't stitch them enough--just collect the charts!
Happy new year!

Good day from France!

Melissa--It's good to work at home when you don't want to leave but bad when you get a snow day! :) I seem to be stitching lots of PS at the moment--I do love her designs.
Siobhan--I collect her charts, too, and don't stitch enough of them--the story of my life when it comes to my stash! Can't wait to see your Rain Rain finish, too.
Pimprenelle--This is my first lighthouse, too. I bet there are some in other designs, but it is nice to have a small project to work on.
Lois--I should check out more of her monthly charts, but I do love the Feb one and still hope to finish by the middle of next month.
Carol--Thank you for the kind comment. I do hope you'll drop back in again!
Karoline--Thanks--slowly but surely.
Suzanne--Thanks I need to update here more but I seem to be moving so slowly on these. Still, it helps keep me motivated.
