Loara Standish - Week 1

I managed to stitch 4 bands of Loara Standish.  It has been quite the challenge.  The chart isn't the easiest to follow.  Plus, I hate kits.  I made a mistake, which wasn't recoverable, and had to rip out an entire line of blue stitching.  I am so hoping, I will have sufficient thread to finish the sampler.  Especially, since no thread #'s are supplied on the chart.

I finally got around to giving Dixie, the bath and cut, she so needed and deserved.  I did my best to take a decent picture of her, with her "do", but once again, she's not very cooperative.  She wouldn't hold still long enough.

The basement bathroom update is finished.  By the hair of our chinny-chin-chin.  I think we put the final touches on it Friday, with my mom's return on Saturday.  She likes it, and it definitely is an improvement, from the contractor paint, and fixtures from before.

I really don't have much else this week.  So.....with that note, I wish you all Happy Stitching!
