I am sooo excited. My "Earth Gatherer" by Shepherd's Bush is done A N D framed.
This is the only decent picture I have as I was rushed taking it at my LNS before it left to be entered in the local fair (fingers are crossed). This is the first time I've ever entered anything and this piece took me forever and spent the majority of it's life so far as a much neglected UFO.
I also have made quite a bit more progress today on my SAL piece ("Jingle Bell Christmas Tree Farm" by The Victoria Sampler).
Especially considering I spent half the day organizing the stash I bought at my LNS's Superbowl Sunday Sale. Tell me, who can argue with 30% off charts, supplied, fabric and everything else? Definitely NOT me!
I saw a picture of one of Little House Needlework/Crescent Colours "Once Upon a Time trio. It was the fairy (Believe). Now I have seen this pattern at my LNS before, a few times in fact, and never really took the time to look at it because of how the cover picture looks.
But then, on my LNS's FaceBook page, a fellow stitcher posted a picture of her finished piece and it was beautiful. The chart picture not only doesn't do it justice, but is quite off-putting (in my unprofessional opinion) and now wish that the designers could take the time to have stitched models every time, or afford to use photos for each chart. Whatever the reasons for the pixelated pictures, I get it, I just don't prefer it. Anyway, now I am sooo excited to stitch these 3 together along with the remainder of my ever increasing stash pile. I am so falling in love with LHN and Carriage house Samplings, and more in love with Lizzie*Kate designs. (As if you couldn't tell).
Well, it's late and I'm tired. I just really wanted to share this with you.
Till next time . . .

Sending good wishes for your entry in the fair..it looks like a winner to me!
