Progress is being made on "Things Unseen" the mystery sampler by Lizzie Kate. Of course as I've stitched this one I'm on the constant lookout for places to stick a bead or two. I don't know what it is about me that I'm always looking for a place to stick a bead. Almost an obsession...anyway, I've got a few ideas but won't be certain until I finish part 3. Since I hate borders (well I hate the repetition of the stitching of borders) I always work my border along with my piece. If I try stitching my border first, I always made a counting mistake and end up having to take some of it out, so I learned long ago to work the border along with the piece and that doesn't happen. Also when I'm done stitching the body of the sampler, I don't have to go back and stitch the boring (for me) border. Just got a call from Sara telling me to stay home today and I'm thinking I might just do it. Since I worked Superbowl weekend I haven't had a full day off for 2 weeks so this will be a welcome reprise. I just wish I could sit here and stitch all day, but alas I have a lesson plan to devise and my house could really use a cleaning, so I guess my day off has become my cleaning day...rats!!!! It's truly lovely outside with the sun shining brightly and the weather in the 40's. I can't imagine what those in the Northeast are going through with snow after snow. I use to wish for a snow day periodically, but since our year with 22 inches in a 2 week span I've decided I can look at the snow on T.V. elsewhere and just be happy to be snow free. I guess I better get to cleaning. Have a great day.
