Words and Blooms: Finally, some traction!

Finally, some traction!

I finally made some headway with Sarah's House today. I haven't had much time to stitch after work during the week and was so discouraged that I almost gave up on it yesterday. Thankfully, I got to stitch most of today and was able to get a lot of the house built. It will be easier to just do the filling in during the week.

I feel much better now! ;-)

I have been enjoying watching everyone's progress on Nicola's Scarlet Year challenge. I have also enjoyed finding a couple of upcoming reproductions from two very talented designers today. Check them out here and here.

Remember the January Giveaway will close this Saturday. Well, short post today as it's time to start winding down for bedtime! Thanks for visiting and have a great week!
