This and That

works when we cant think of anything more specific... like when my mind is still waking up from a cozy, calm, balanced weekend...

Here is a sneak-peek picture of the special project for a special person... It will be a long time before it gets unveiled of course. This was a quick stitch and i enjoyed the stitches immensely. I only have to add my name somewhere before i can send this away for further work to happen. The feeling of accomplishment is multiplied becuase it helps me increase my number of completed projects of 2010, LOL

Reasonable amount of Frederick time too. I really love this piece, i keep telling my friends this will be the first work to get framed when done, because i know the very spot it will take on the wall. I hope i am brave enough to frame the rest of the completed xses. As an aside - when one writes xs, it looks to be short form of excess. We do not want to even think that do we?

And finally my recent book collection diet

Wishing you all a great week ahead... Before we know it, October will be over - but then the whole year has been this way, or so it seems. Thanks all for your comments. I love every one of them!!

  1. Frederick is getting so close to done! That's a lot of pretty stitching. Never thought about that xs-excess connection!

  3. Nice progress on Frederick.
    I have to admit that when I see XS in my classes I think "extra small", then "cross stitch" and finally the correct excess!
