Mandatory rest for a few weeks. Lots of stitching, drawing, reading and listening to upbuilding material. I'm almost caught up with the Winter Stitching Club ( pattern by Wild Olive). I'm able to start light house work in 1 or 2 weeks (however I'm doing some already) and I thought that vacuuming, sweeping and mopping was included in that time frame as well but for those 3 chores the actual wait is 6 weeks!!!!!! Thankfully, I have a hubby that is good at housekeeping ;-). As mentioned before, I will be using practically all the same fabrics as for the Summer Stitching Club.

Before I go, have you seen the super cute free hexie embroidery pattern that Mollie posted? You have to go there and check it out! Until Next Time!

Actually, I'm not fully back... still need at least one more week ;-). This break was not as refreshing as I thought it was going to be so I'll be extending it a bit. In the meantime I leave you with my completed Doll Sampler (pattern by Charlotte Lyons).  I need to start stitching another one. They will both be turned into throw pillows for  my princesses' rooms. This one is the one that belongs to my oldest. My youngest's will  most  likely have lighter colors. I've also been re-arranging my Summer Stitching Club  (by Mollie Johansen/Wild Olive). At first I finished the top of the table  mat following the instructions of the pattern,  however I didn't have the need for a table mat  and since I've been  meaning to make  both of my girls lap quilts I thought  this was the perfect opportunity. For now, probably, my oldest will be getting a quilt made by a combination of the Summer Stitching Club with the Winter Stitching Club an...
