Progress and a Start

Greating all.  Just back from the my favorite nursery.  Such a beautiful place.  Thought to take pictures when I got home of course.  Maybe next time.  I was there on a mission though.  I was looking of Gerbera daisys.  Unfortunately, there was only one to be found which went home with me for sure.

Then I found this Impatien with beautiful foilage.

It is called Painted Paradies Orange Improved.  Can't wait to see the flower on it.

So made some progress on my cross stitch this week.  It is looking very nice I think.

My goal this weekend is to get to the other corner which just might happen if I don't get distracted by another project.  Was almost late for church this morning because I was distracted while getting ready.  Started looking for a magazine with an article about retaining walls and a couple of cross stitch patterns which are pumpkins.  Since I have been kitting up projects, they came to mind when my dear mom said that I currently seem to have a pumpkin obsession for my stitching projects. 

Actually my mom had called me to tell me her progress on this project that we started together this week.

It is a Christmas Hardanger Biscornu which I had bought for us to stitch toether.  She pulled it out to work on on our Thursday night get together and since I had mine conviently in my bag it was calling to be started.  Did go to Joann's today and found the book  "Embroidery Companion Classic Designs for Modern Living" by Alicia Paulson.  Beautiful book!  If you get a chance you should stop by her blog some day as I find it to be a peaceful stop in my hectic world.  It is called http://rosylittlethings.typepad.com/posie_gets_cozy/. 

Thanks for stopping by!
Happy stitching!
