A Finish & A Start

Hello Dear Friends,

I hope you are all well and finding time to stitch.  I find that with the nice weather we had today I spent most of the day dreaming of being outside.  Working in the flower beds, golf, tennis....

just about anything other than sitting inside in a meeting.  I'm sure you all have the same feelings.  Now that I am home and can do those things I only want to sit and stitch.  Funny how that works, isn't it?

I was recently inspired by a post from our dear friend Faye.  She is stitching the Prairie Schooler Santas.  Loving the idea, I hopped right on the Santa bandwagon.  Of course that meant tracking down some of the older Santas.  I've had quite a few of the patterns for years but never got around to stitching them.  After some fun on eBay I tracked down the ones I didn't have.  I'm pleased to have my first one finished and I have started on the next.   Now I have to decide how I'm going to finish them.....decisions, decisions.

While visiting The Attic I came across a design that I had to have.  It is a big design but I've loved every stitch so far.  Here is what I have accomplished so far.

Here is a picture of the complete design.

Spanish Flair

The complete picture is in red & black.  The model hanging in The Attic was stitched in bright pink & black which I think it captured my attention. 

 My picture doesn't quite capture the bright pink I'm stitching with but it is stunning in person.  

I think I'm going to need some serious stitching mojo to finish this one.

Thank you for stopping by and sharing a part of your day with me.  

I love hearing from you and appreciate your kind words.

Happy Hump Day!

Keep on stitchin'
