My first few days of "Temporary Retirement" have been quite nice, but I haven't spent much time on the computer. Maybe tomorrow I will have time to catch up on my blog reading. For now, there are just a few minutes to post.
On the stitching front, I've had a Happy Dance for my completed fall exchange project. I can't wait to share a photo. It will be a while though, since the project won't even be mailed until October.
I've also worked a bit on PIG. It's coming along nicely, although I still haven't managed to get a great photo of it.
I'm also busy counting the days until our cruise. I'm looking forward to the trip, but there is still a lot to prepare before we go. For one thing, I need clothes. Being a natural born procrastinator, I didn't start shopping until last weekend. The stores have all of their fall/winter stuff out now, and there's not much available that would be suitable for a tropical vacation. So... I decided to MAKE the things I need. Everything except swimwear, anyway. I did manage to find one of those yesterday-- the only one in the entire store that wasn't on sale. :( With just over 2 weeks before we leave, I've been spending a lot of time at the fabric store. My sewing machine is rapidly becoming my new best friend, which hasn't left a lot of time for stitching.

You've made some great progress on PIG. I imagine those columns took quite a bit of time. Good for you making what you need!
PIG is looking great. OOOOhhhhh a cruise, how nice. Where to?
PIG is coming along so nicely! I can't wait to see it all finished :)
Going on a cruise? Wow, lucky you. I hope you have a fabulous time.
PIG is coming along nicely!
Your Piggie is looking fantastic! and a cruise - how wonderful for you :)
Your PIG looks amazing! Beautiful!
I love how that looks on the dark fabric!
Please share pics of your sewing...they're still stitches, you know!! :o)
Beautiful!!
You do very nice work!!
Very nice progress, that is just beautiful!
You're stitching up a storm - just with the sewing machine! Way to go! :D
Beautiful works of cross stich you have here.
I am about to start a new one soon, but not quite sure how to start it. Meaning, it's not a pattern and not a kit. I am making my first creation. I have patterns of borders and alphabets, but piecing it together seems daunting. I guess I should get graph paper? Yikes. I really need a computer program. LOL
OK, enough of my rambling.
Beautiful piece. I've only worked on dark fabric once but yours makes me want to do another. Enjoy your cruise - it's my favorite way to vacation.
Your PIG is awesome, really coming along! Congrats on finding swimwear...I'd never find one to fit, at any price. ;o)
