Another beautiful day here. It's very windy, but warm. We're supposed to have warm temperatures for about the next week. It makes me worry about summer temps, but for now I'm just going to enjoy the break. 

I LOVE today's project. It's one I fully intended to work from beginning to end. I started from the lower right hand corner, which is my preference. I've already added the date. It shows 2013. I don't think I'll change it. Maybe I'll find some way to add the finish year. Either way, I will try to finish this project this year. It's quite a large sampler so it will take some work to ensure a finish. I've converted all the DMC colors to GAST and Carrie's Threads. If you haven't tried Carrie's Threads, you can check her out here:  http://carriesthreads.com/index.html 
She's lovely to work with and has beautiful flosses. I've been very happy with everything I've purchased from her. 

So, here's the project. Hope you all like it as much as I do!

I also have another little Happy Dance. I've finished Celebrate Life. As I thought, it didn't really take that much time to complete. I also realized that I had stopped simply because I ran out of one floss color. I did eventually replace it, but by then I must've been on to something else. I'm not sure how I'll finish it. This is my 3rd finish of the year. 

I'm not finishing a lot of projects but I am seeing a lot of progress. My WIPs are coming out to play!
