I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and didn't eat too much candy. I didn't make up baskets for the kids this year so we just bought each one a toy. Better for their teeth and general health. We did have a lovely dinner with them at their house. Peyton makes a fantastic lasagna and I brought the salad. We had a wonderful time but then we always do with them.
I have a finish to share with you. It's another Hands On Design project and this one is called "Summer Night, The House On A Hill". I stitched it on a light grey 28ct. Jobelan but I didn't have enough to make the band that is on the sides so I stitched the scissor fob on the back and placed the words going around it with my initials and date. I don't think it turned out too too bad. The pattern came with the WDW Overdyed Wool that is below the house. I love how that part looks.
Now to find something new to stitch. I must get back to the Cricket Nativity soon so I have them finished for this year's Christmas. I thought and thought (got a headache) trying to come up with something to stitch for this new little girl's bedroom and make it something that she can keep. I've decided to stitch "Rapunzel" by Mirabilia. I have my LNS order the beads and treasures for me and that will be my large project for next year. Here's what she looks like....

I'm not sure if the colors will remain the same....must talk that over with Peyton but I just love this design.
I will leave you with a chuckle...

All My Blessings, Barbara
