A Couple of Finishes

 I have finished LHN Poinsettia House.  I am participating in the 2012 Year of Smalls SAL and this had alot more stitching than I expected.  It looks like a quick stitch but I did take up some time.  Below is a picture of the next small for February.  It is called Garden of Love by Citrouilles Designs.  I have looked at this several times and decided it was meant to be when it was selected for the SAL.  I ordered the kit from Cathy at Inspired Needle.  It came packaged up in lovely Valentine's Day attire.  Too cute and almost too pretty to open.  But none the less, I will tear into the pretty package and start a new small.

The second finish is a design by Cross eyed Cricket called Down to the Sea.  It is stitched on 32ct Lamb's Wool.  This took some time to stitch up because of my own issues with boredom.  All that WHITE!  and then the 5 sailors pants were all the same, just blue then white, then Blah Blah Blah.  I do like the way it turned out but I am happy to have this as a finish and out of the way.

The weather here has been a bit crazy.  We had 6 inches of snow on Saturday. Tuesday reached 60 degrees and I had the car windows down, and today flurries, sleet, and then rain, rain, rain.  The temps are supposed to go up again. Well back to my stitching chair now that the kids are in bed.   I hope you have all had a good week and as always, Happy Stitching!
