Still stitching!!! The August sampler is coming along nicely. I plan to stitch the November sampler next. I have it started on white material. I really think the Fall colors would blend better on a beige. The white is glaring!! So, I will start over but first another trip to the Cross Stitch & Crafts for material. All socks still on HOLD for another week or so. Now off to either work in the yard or paint on wicker ... after I throw a load in to wash.

Cross stitching news ... I finished the Prairie Schooler July Sampler!!!! Then I went to Cross Stitch & Crafts in Johnson City and bought the August sampler. Love Sandra and Amie!! The shop is warm, friendly and FULL of goodies to stitch. In one week I have stitched half of the August sampler. Remember, it took me 3 years to stitch July! I have since been back to the shop and purchases a handful of floss for a pansy picture that I plan to work on in the Fall.
This is Archie in a delightful pose and Fonzie in a wiggling pose!! Archie is a little doll dog. Fonzie loves him and they play together well. Two dogs are more work but they are double the fun and love.
