Knot Work...

Today is the last day of February vacation and it is back to the real world and the kitchen tomorrow. I worked on this a little this week and I finished up the teddy bear, although it doesn't look like much, it took me two evenings of stitching time to complete just that little bear! This is a a knot work project desinged by Teresa Layman and the entire picture is ALL french knots.
This is a close up picture so you can actually see the knots a bit better, if you haven't tried knot work before you should give it a try, it is really neat and all of your knots don't have to be perfect, they all blend in very nicely.

My Mom came to visit for most of vacation and I took her to Augusta shopping on Wednesday. I found this neat cart at the Christmas Tree Shop and thought it would be a great way to organize and store my stitching projects I am working on. I cleaned out my "mess" beside the couch and it is all now neatly stored in the cart. I thought it was a pretty good deal for $30 and each drawer is just the perfect size to hold one complete project so now when I want to stitch, I just pull the drawer out and everything for that project is all together.

Since I was already in Augusta and just 20 minutes from Stitcher's Corner, I made a quick trip down to pick up the over dyed threads I was needing to kit up and finish up some projects. Of course, I had to check out the new charts and I bought two of the new Prairie Schooler charts and the first three Lizzie Kate Halloween charts. I also bought a piece of fabric so I could get started on Peppermint Twist. I think I will be busy for a while :)

We went to the movies this week and saw Tale of Desperaux and Bolt. They were both pretty good and I had to laugh at my Mother when the rat in Desperaux ate a worm and she started gagging out loud...She also thought I was taking her to a drive in movie when I went to the atm but that is another story! Ed and Tyler went on a snowmobile trip for three days and logged more than 500 miles. They had a great time and were very tired when they got home. It looks like we have 12-18 inches of snow on the way for tonight and tomorrow so they should still beable to ride for at least another month. I can't share any photos as Ed did remember to take his camera with him this time but left it in his pocket the whole time.

Until Next Time,
