Stash and stitchy update

Received a tiny bit of stash from one of my stash groups on facebook. I'd been wanting both these for a while now.

I just love them.

Wee house appearing in Christmastide!

With the complete lack of winter this year, I am really wanting to be done with this one. Hopefully in the next couple weeks, I will be. I need to move on to something spring or summery. Goodness knows, I have more than enough to choose from.

Stitching just makes me so happy. I enjoy so much the pulling of thread from back to front, seeing the design take shape and just meditating on my stitches while I go. I do the same with crochet. I'd like to do some embroidery this year too. And watercolor painting! My wonderful mom got me a sweet watercolor book for Christmas and I need to start trying some every day.

Recuperating the past week and a half (with a couple complications-nothing too serious), has given me the opportunity to think about my goals, and I'll be looking over them to see what's up in the que next for me to concentrate on.

We did have a glorious, fiery sunset the other night that I wanted to share. It took my breath away, even through the trees.

I hope everyone has a lovely stitchy week upcoming! Until next time,
