Stitching with the oranges, yellows and browns in the pumkins while the leaves change outside is therapy in itself. I haven't decided whether I'm going to work on this again this week or move on with the rotation.
As I was stitching one night the wonderful husband stopped and watched for a bit. He then made a comment about all those little x's making a beautiful painting. He just doesn't understand how it happens. Sometimes I don't either! :)
Okay...so I was going through my stash and came across this gem. It's Blackbird Designs "Their Song". It was a limited edition release back in 2007 and I can't find it for sale online anywhere. The floss colors are magnificent and I'm in the mood for another sampler. I already know where this one is going to hang!! The saying is:
"I value my garden more for
being full of blackbirds than of
cherries, and very frankly give
them fruit for their songs."
Joseph Addison (1672-1719)
I tea stained the linen myself and am now itching to get started on it. I figure I'll do a four week rotation ... with the third week working on Yule presents. We'll see how it goes ...

I spent many happy years creating beautiful art with cross-stitching. Looking at your work has brought back a lot of joy for me. See you on the joy diet!
Just stopped by to say Hi! I look forward to our new adventure into Joy. Have a great week.
