A new look and some stitching

As you can see I have revamped my blog a little and given it a new/old look. (How often can you use the word vamp and not be referring to
Theda Bara??)



The reason for the change is that I really like the way some blogs are so personal and I wanted mine to way more more personal and a lot less generic. The photo is of my mother taken when she was around two. It is taken on the side yard of the big house my great-grandfather built on the Town Common in Tarboro, NC around 1901. It is my favorite photo of my mom. For her 80th Birthday a couple of years ago it was this photo that I used in the as the front of the invitations.

I worked on the RR last night as I want to get this off to Donna next week, and I will!! Here is a progress snap:



I am really liking this linen, it is called Clay and is just the softest grey colour....I think I need to get some????? I ordered a big chunk of PTP Relic so that I can kit out the CHS Alphabet Kit and Kaboodle. I wonder if I will be around to finish all the projects I want to finish???? Too many things to stitch and not nearly enough time!!!!!

This weekends goals are to finish so that I can send off the Valentines exchange and the Fob exchange....if I write it down it will happen, or at least I think it will happen! :)

I think I need a real bodice ripper picture here......
just one more of dear Theda.....


Have a great weekend!!!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Take care,
edgar
