Happy almost-Thanksgiving! I am on vacation this week, my sister is the cook on the day (I'm in charge of the cheese and olive platter and the deviled eggs), and I haven't planned much of anything for the week except for a doctor's appointment tomorrow, a little drive by In Stitches for more thread (I looked right at the instructions for purchasing thread, and did I even notice that some of the colors call for three skeins of AVAS and other colors require 2?) and a massive case of stitchy numb butt. I have been worn to a nub and didn't even blog last week because I had nothing to show--so rare! But I have a holiday tradition of starting something new to maintain, and here it is--Catherine Metcalf.
Not a great photo of the true colors of this sampler--I stitched away the day and then lost the light just as I got out the camera, so this is by lamplight. Scarlet Letter's Catherine Metcalf done on 40 count Lakeside in navy bean with AVAS threads.
Pink, taking the tag off a towel prior to chewing holes in the towel (bunny lace, we call it around here).
And from last year, the rabbits' Macy's day parade:
More pictures coming up later in the week--see you Thursday!

Oh oh oh! I want to do Catherine too! So pretty! I still remember the bunnies' parade from last year. Will they do it again? :D Enjoy your vacation -- get tons of stitching done!
Ilove the bunnies parade. Have a great stitchy vacation.
Pink is a rock star!
I think I remember something about the deviled eggs last year. Do they ship well?
Oh Glenna, I wanna stitch her, too. It's on my ever growing list.
Enjoy your time off and the holiday.

Beautiful start on Catherine, Glenna! Glad to hear you have good plans for your time off!
Nothing so rare as a relaxing holiday week. Enjoy! (Now my buns want a parade, although they'll settle for a parade of vegetables.)
Catherine is going to look wonderful... great start. Enjoy your vacation week.
