It's been a while

It's been a while since I last posted. On May 31st I boarded a motor coach for a trip to Mt. Rushmore. It was a fantastic trip but it left me pooped out. I've been home a week now and still suffering from some of the side effects! It's takes this ole body a while to repair. I'll post some of my photos in a separate entry.

While I was on the trip I read where Wendy received the round two YLPS exchange piece. I stitched one of the Old World Santa's for her. I did a simple pillow finish 'cause I really like doing them.
I found it difficult to concentrate on stitching while on the trip. I took a large count project to work on while in the motel. Must have been too tired, because I made lots of mistakes, so I packed it away.

Have a great Monday.

YLPS from Janet

The mail man brought a cheery stitched piece today. It is from Janet H. and is from an OOP Book 60 Prairie Schooler leaflet, Spring Samplers. Isn't it a lovely piece. Thank you so much Janet. I stitched for Janet in Round 1. So, we're even! HeHe.

YLPS for Janet

I read that Janet had received the exchange I sent her for the first round of the Year Long Prairie Schooler exchange. I chose to do the March motif from a Prairie Year. Hopefully she like St. Patrick's Day. It's one of my favorite holidays to stitch and have stitched this one in the past for myself.

YLPS exchange from Gwen L.

I joined the Year Long Prairie Schooler exchange since the SBEBB closed. My first exchange was from Gwen L. She did an absolutely perfect ornament for me. Isn't he's just gorgeous. Reindeer/deer are my ornament subjects for the 2009 Christmas Challenge. This handsome fellow was on my to stitch list, but thanks to Gwen he already done and hanging on a branch of honor on my tree. Thank you so much Gwen, I love him.
