IHSW update

Happy Monday All!  
I hope you have all had a great, stitch-y weekend!  
I got a good amount of stitching in this weekend, and luckily had an extra day for this IHSW weekend :)  

On the SDW SAL we are on week #12 although I am still lagging behind.  There were a few weeks that I missed from my do-over and then some other commitments on my weekends.  So I keep playing catch up when I can.  Still, I am amazed at the progress on this sampler.  At first it seemed like it would be one of those never ending ones but bit by bit the progress adds up!

And this evening, I wanted to get a start on Ann Grimshaw!  I like the dmc 3781 mocha on the cream linen.  And I have some plans to add a splash of color along the way.

So that about sums up my stitching weekend.  
Also got to watch a few outstanding tennis matches from the Australian Open.  And went to see a couple more award nominated movies... Lincoln and Zero Dark Thirty.... two thumbs up for both!! 

Have a wonderful week and keep smiling and stitching!!  xxxxx
