blizzard stitching & thrift store treasures

Blizzard Stitching progress on Cecelia & Clive
I am so glad I made my trip to the thrift stores earlier in the week as today would have been impossible! I am looking out the window now and cannot see the neighbor's house. I shoveled once this morning already, but am giving up now until it is over with! Yes, we are in the midst of a snowstorm.

What that does mean, however, is that I have had a lot of time to stitch, and now that I have no plans to leave the house, I hope to finish the new design which I have decided to title "Cecilia & Clive".

I am working with DMC floss, Weeks Dye Works and Kreinik blending filaments with this design.

When I did make the thrift store rounds, I found this interesting worn out but oh so beautiful tapestry-like wall hanging.  It is just perfect above my china hutch. I find the rips and thread bare spots charming!



Now back to stitching...well...after I make another pot of coffee and dare to peek outside one more time!
