I had a small interruption in my progress of WH when this little goody arrived in the mail.
This is a kit by Sheperd's Bush. I have been fond of their patterns forever. I mean in LOVE with them!! It has been a dream of mine to go to Ogden Utah to attend their Christmas Tea and open house.
This kit is called Home. I enjoy this pattern because I can see it. The pattern is large and the symbols are clear. ( I usually have to take my patterns to Staples to have them enlarged to ease the eye strain) It has stitched up quickly with the silk floss that was included in the kit. I still have a bit more stitching to finish this project.
This next project I saw Peg stitching and loved it. So of course I had to order it too.
Peg stitched her stitchery in a variegated red floss. When I received my lovely Christmas in July swap from Rachel I was so excited to find not one but two skeins of DMC variegated red floss included in it. It looks just like the floss that Peg used. I love it! Thanks again Rachel. You are the best!
With all the rain that we have had, I have had time to prep some projects for Christmas. Most of them I can't show you now as I have some very nosey friends. (Yes, you know who you are!)This project, even though it is Halloween, is for a Christmas gift. It is safe to show this project as the recipient does not have a blog. She loves anything Fall and Halloween.

I am going to stitch this project with 12 weight Sulky thread. I am still not sure of the border fabric. I checked my LQS for a fabric similar to the one used in the pattern with no luck. I choose the mottled with the stars. I am still not sure if I will use it. I think I see a road trip in the very near future. Hmm! I will chat soon.

They're all gorgeous and right up my alley. I love the Cinderberry Stitches pattern. It would make a perfect Christmas gift for my friend Lucie.
