Goode Huswife "Tree of Life"....


With the luck of the Irish I have another
Crazy Challenge finish.....

Goode Huswife "Tree of Life"
28ct mystery linen
w/recommended DMC

Love the border on this design....stitching it????
Not so much!

This was my Jan. 1st start so I decided I would pick it up next.  It was a pretty quick finish and is in the same color family as The Bird Tree.   
I thought I would get bored stitching with the same colors over and over but I find that I want to stitch more!  I do have a couple of exchanges to stitch so my next Goode Huswife finish
will just have to wait!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

  Did you know that Dublin has 750 pubs ? 
We didn't make it to all of them....but gave a valiant effort!!!!

Hubby and I just love this "holiday" and have celebrated all of our years together.  Here we enjoy a pint at the Guinness Storehouse on our trip to Ireland last fall.  I certainly couldn't let the day pass without enjoying a pint of the velvety goodness so we did venture out to one of our local pubs tonight to enjoy a pint or two!


It seems South Carolinians have been enjoying a good pint for quite awhile!

As always....thanks for visiting my blog.  I do love reading all of your comments and am thankful you take the time to visit my piece of the cyber world!  I am off to New Orleans for business a few days but hope to find plenty of time to stitch!!!

Hope you have a great weekend...happy stitching!

Crazy Challenge Day 1.....

Goode Huswife "The Tree of Life"
Stitched on 28ct linen w/DMC

I'm off and running with my first start!  Not much progress as we made a trip to Charlotte today but it is started none the less!  I really like this and it is an easy stitch so I know this one will be stitched quickly after the first 15 days have ended.  Not sure what I will pull out the big bag of challenge tomorrow....

Had a chance to stop at the Stitch & Frame in Rock Hill on our way to Charlotte and ran into fellow blogger Charlene ... it was great seeing another stitching friend.

A quick review of my 2010 stitching year reveals....

53 finishes
12 exchanges
36 ornaments

It will be interesting to see how well I will do with this Crazy Challenge....will probably have numerous WIPs this time next year too!

Hope your new year is off to a great start and happy stitching!
