Happy Valentines Day! I've had a lovely day. The kiddos at school were fun and bouncing off the walls! It was expected so no problem. Then, Jeff and I went to our nutrition class. There's always so much good information given at the classes. Now, Jeff is fixing dinner and then I'll probably stitch. 

Today's project is one I really love. I chose it for today to fit the theme of the day. I've had the pattern for a long time. My family adopted the orphan fabric for me. Isn't she lovely? I decided she was just perfect for this project. Interestingly enough, the stitch count is incorrect on the pattern. It was listed as 190w x 70h and it's actually 192w x 46h. Thankfully it looked a little odd to me so I counted it before starting. I've substituted Vikki Clayton's Hand Dyed Fibers for the solid silk flosses but have the other flosses as charted. So, here it is!
