Sampler Sunday: Buried in the Snow

We're not buried in the snow and in fact, we haven't seen a single flake of it this year, unlike a lot of you; the little tree in "Season's Greetings" is getting covered though. What a great snow effect from using just two colors of floss!

My poor computer has something stuck in its craw, so after it crumped on me, off to the shop it went. I'm using BF's, but he has dial-up and wasn't eager for me to configure it for DSL, so one or two pictures is about all I can manage for today. That's a shame, because I spent a lot of time on Meadow Hills this week also and have some progress to show. When the computer's recovered--hopefully later in the week--I'll post again--I have no patience with the dial-up after using DSL at home and T-1 at work.


I'm enjoying the smaller "distraction" samplers, so here's another. It's called "Gone Fishing," and it's by Sheepish Designs. It's to be stitched on 35 ct Light Expresso from R&R Reproductions using DMC floss. It looks like a cute, fun stitch.

I'm cranking up the home decorating thing, and I'm off to research an interesting stencil company I saw mentioned in the February 2007 House Beautiful. The site is www.stencil-library.com. The picture featured in the magazine was an amazing 8x3 foot stencil of chinoiserie. Of course, it's a whopping $550, but I thought I'd check and see what else they might have--if I don't fall asleep waiting for it to load! (Edited to add--ok, I've been there, and it's a mind-boggling site. I can't imagine how much time it would take to do one of these huge stencils in all the colors, but you'd have a work of art when you were done...)

See you later in the week, hopefully!
