A baby on the way

Yes, I'm going to be a grammie :D. Sooooo excited. And DD knows it's going to be a boy. So of course, I have started right in on a baby sampler. Another thing I'm trying to keep a secret from her. Although I've been stitching it while she visits with me but she hasn't asked what I'm stitching on. A couple of weeks ago I showed her everything I'm working on (except OUAT), so I think she figures it's something she's already seen.

So I've chosen this piece from the Historical Sampler Company, I'm stitching it on Lakeside Linen's "Luna", 36 count. It's charted for DMC but I'm doing it all in hand-dyed threads.
Blogger seems to be having "issues". I can't get the wording and pictures to sit the way I want them to. So I'll leave the post like this.

A New Blog

Well, I gave Wordpress a try and it was waaaayyyy too complicated for me so I've switched to Eblogger. This is much easier (I think). I want to thank Catherine for being the first and only person to comment on my Wordpress blog. You should check out her blog when you have a chance. I was reluctant to start publishing on this blog until I had it looking better but then figured why wait?? I'll be changing things on my blog as I figure things out. One of the pieces I am working on is Christmas of Hawk Run Hollow by Carriage House Samplings. I am stitching it with NPI silks on 36 ct Vintage Examplar by Lakeside Linens.

Last year I stitched Village of Hawk Run Hollow (was one of my favorite pieces of all time to stitch) and here is a picture.

I have already visited many blogs and will start commenting soon. I'm so impressed by so many of your blogs. Nice inspiration, thanks!!
