Busy busy busy... that's what I've been.
Here is a photo of 'Gingerbread Emporium". I haven't stitched the french knots yet (which will really be colonial knots because I think they're easier to make) teehee hee.
I'm trying to take a little break from my Santa's Village so I can stitch up some Christmas gifts but it keeps calling out to me to work on it.
I started Plum Street Sampler's new mystery SAL, Mary's Sampler.
You can find the free patterns over on Paulette's blog.
There are two versions... I'm stitching both.
I am stitching them on 40ct Natural linen.
My Thanksgiving table runner has grow a little bit. I'm not using a pattern, just 'winging it' and I have found that I over think things too much. Although I am in love with it so far... I can only work on it for an hour or two at a time then I have to walk away.
My mind wants to exploded because I'm thinking and rethinking about placement, colors, value ,patterns, and then I found these cute chipmunks and mushrooms in my stash...
and they had to go in my runner. I watch my chipmunk, Alvin almost everyday and I am very Thankful for him!
Fingers crossed I can finish my table runner by November! Or at least the top of it.

Lovely progress on your WIPs!
Your runner is looking great! I'm stitching the Mary Sampler also but only one version and with my "old" eyes, I'm doing it on 32 ct.
Oh my, you certainly have been busy! Everything looks great. :)

Oh my gosh, you're stitching both versions of Mary's Sampler? Wow! Great stuff! Love your Christmas piece too, and the table runner -- what a fantastic idea that is! It's wonderful!
