In just 8 days and new PTPlus.....

I was planning on posting this last night but my computer had other plans.... I finished Sweet Sweet Babe in just 8 days! I can hardly believe it myself!!! I have to say a big thank you to my stitching group for motivating me and to 2 women in particular who taught me how to center the Lettering! It came out so perfect!!! The lettering was supposed to go in the squares but I thought it would look better below and I also didn't think the whole name would fit there, I also left the face off the sun....just too cutsey. So here is the finished piece.....
Sweet Sweet Babe by SamSarah Designs
done on PTPlus Heritage 32ct linen
with hand dyed threads
I started another project.....a Christmas ornament it was supposed to be done 1 over 1 on 40ct fabric and I started it that way but I just knew it would never get completed so I am doing it 1 over 2 and I did the math and it will fit on the provided fabric. I worked it out with the ladies at SP prior to buying the kit.....I just had a feeling. Oh and taking out 1 over 1 on 40ct is no fun either. I would have loved the look of 1 over 1 but my eyes are too important. I will post a picture soon!
And I got some new stash from the PTPlus 25% sale......a new chart and 5 fabrics.....Here they are
The fabrics are just luscious!!! They are Crystal French Lilac, Monet, Crystal Monet, Tarnish and Crystal Tarnish!!!! The chart is by Who Knew...Fairies of the Glen. And the order came within 2 weeks! So glad I got in on this sale.....I know I probably didn't need more fabric but it makes me so happy!!!
I'm off to stitch even after working all day. I think I'll work on Queen of the fairies for a bit and have a cup of tea. I'm thinking a cup of Prince of Wales will be wonderful!!!
I am grateful for the joy in my life.....and tea.....

    Juls!!! It's so precious! Love it! Email me if you have a fast way to center letters/names. I'd sure like to know how, too! And, your fairy chart looks like a great one to stitch. Yummy fabrics...
    Hugs,
