Elizabeth Mears Progress

I worked on EM a little bit yesterday. This castle is going to take me forever!!

40 ct. Vintage Meadow Rue, NPI silks (1 over 2)

I was thinking of starting With Thy Needle & Thread's "Soar Sampler." I'm loving all the progress pics on her blog.

I'm planning on using 32 ct. Black Belfast linen with DMC...

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Lizzie Kate "Summer Alphabet"

I picked this pattern up at a shop in Florida. I thought it was so cute and a change from the repros I've been stitching. I'm getting sooo close to being finished with Sarah. I hope to finish her sometime this week!!

More Sarah

I'm still working on Sarah Woodham. It didn't seem like I had gotten anything done until I looked at my before picture.

40 ct. Vintage Pearled Barley, various silk threads (1 over 2)

I worked on this corner a little bit to take a break from the over one words.

I'm excited that I don't have too much more to go!! Maybe it will only take a few more weeks if I can find some stitching time while in Florida! :)

Sarah Again

I have been slowly stitching the over one words in the middle...

I'm hoping to get it finished within the next couple of months. I would say month, but I don't see it happening because spring break is coming up and we'll be headed down to Florida with the kids.
