As Kathy recommended, I did some stitching while stretched out on the bed with lovely sunshine streaming in, recovering from losing an hour of sleep. Linking up with Slow Sunday Stitching.

Slow Sunday Stitching
Since fin-al-ly completing the Poinsettias and Pomegranates, I've been without a cross-stitch project. I remembered a small pamphlet by Lizzie Kate that I had intended to stitch up for a long time...
If you notice the date on the price tag, it has been waiting patiently for 12 years . I know I bought this May Stamp Flip It on a trip to Missouri in April 2005 but not the shop name--it was somewhere out in the country, possibly in Illinois. I wasn't blogging in those days so can't check back :) The project sample is made in a hand dye, I believe, but I am using DMC. I substituted for a couple of the colors I don't have; one was the birdhouse roof; I chose a brighter blue closer to the cover.

Fun photo...12 years eh? Don't rush into anything! LOL
Hope you enjoyed your stitching today!
LOL--I've had a couple of cross-stitch patterns I have hung onto since I got rid of my boxes of cross stitch magazines and patterns. I am determined to make them--they are both replicas of vintage samplers. Let's see, I gave up cross-stitch back in 1989, I believe, but I still tell myself I will make those samplers one day. I can dream, can't I?
I have a cross-stitch pattern I purchased several years ago -- along with the necessary floss -- for when I finished my pineapple quilt. (It's a pineapple hospitality pillow I thought would look pretty with the quilt.) I finally finished the quilt two years ago -- so there's no telling how old the cross-stitch pattern actually is! Perhaps it's time to get that out?! Have fun stitching/playing with your new (old) pattern! :)
I haven't cross-stitched in a very long time. Hand stitching, slowly, however can be such a luxurious indulgence from time to time. Enjoy!
Love seeing your progress as well. You have so many neat projects from cross stitch to quilting. And I love that cutie's smile you posted. Grandchildren are the best. I have 2 about the same ages.
Very cute! I'm hoping to get to some hand stitching this weekend.
