Well begun is half done (or so I hope)

Finally made a start on my new WIP Birds of a Feather "Kindness Begets Kindness" chart. I know I'm not very far along yet, but I wanted to post a photo as proof that I had actually begun!

Our Florida summer sunshine extending into the early evening means there are more hours in which to stitch after work, but somehow these days I find myself at the laptop more than at the needle. I've also been trying to organize my charts a little better by finally placing them in a project binder, and that leads to sorting floss for upcoming projects, and before you know it it's late again and I am far too tired to stitch. But I do like this new chart and the 28 Ct. Examplar Linen I chose, so when I do find the time for stitching it is a pleasure.

I just added a link in my Favorites list to the Smithsonian American Sampler Collection. Lots of lovely examples and inspiration there!

A new WIP

I've finally decided on my next project at long last: "Kindness" Sampler by Birds of a Feather. I've been looking for something for years that would suit my fancy and also be just the right size for my 9" x 9" wooden serving tray that has an insert area for stitching, and I'm thinking that this will just fit the bill. I've never done a chart by Birds of a Feather before, although I have long wanted to, and am looking forward to working on it.
