I stitched this "Dainty Housewren" by Carriage House Samplings back in 2006! This is an unfinished scan of it (at the time I had no digital camera)--I would share a finished photo only it seems to have gone MIA. I can't find it in the places I would normally have put it. The only reason it even came to mind is I have started working on one of my other February projects, and working on red linen is harder than I remembered. Then I recalled I have stitched on black linen, and whatever happened to my little dainty housewren?? I suspect is in in one of my stash bins in a plastic ziploc bag waiting to be sewed into a little pillow. So this weekend I will be going through my stash looking for it. I think I have some serious stash organization to do. I have lots of completed projects that are just not yet finished into their final form or framed. And I have lots of partially stitched projects as well that I need to assess and try to do something about! I'm also trying to update my Picturetrail album so it reflects what I am actually working on.
All of this is due to my absence from the stitching world for the last couple of years. I've really missed it and am wondering how I went on so long without picking up a needle and thread. I've really been enjoying working on my projects and even if I only stitch for twenty minutes a day, I look forward to those twenty minutes. Which brings me to another topic. Since I hadn't been actively updating my blog I've missed out on new blogs that have popped up and I think I've lost many visitors who long ago would drop by here. If you happen by, please do leave a comment and your link, so I can get my blogroll going again. I am trying to find new stitching bloggers via other stitcher's blogrolls and am really enjoying seeing new people. I'm not quite sure how to get the word out that I'm back and hope people will drop by again. Blogging and email is about the extent of my technical savvy. Do people use Twitter or Facebook? Or do you just go our and leave comments and hope others will reciprocate?
And for those of you who have been stopping by and leaving comments and suggestions I thank you. It makes my day to come home after work and see a new comment or two!
Happy Stitching everyone. I'm off to do a little stash organization and see what I come up with...how many other forgotten projects I have laying around!
