Life is good.

Lately
Grape Hyacinths, Spring Break, Easter celebrations, frost on the Daffodils, brilliant sunshine, blossoming orchards, a new handbag (much deserved, after lugging the last one for nearly six years), antique shopping, stitching, and all the regular things that somehow don't ever get photographed.
Life is good.
Life is good.

In the Middle of March
Everything seems poised on the edge of bursting in the middle of March.
Buds swell on branch and vine.
The color saturation in grass blade and winter leaf
gets a boost each time the sun's rays peek through the almost certain canopy of clouds.
Water droplets cling to every available surface, magnifying the places where they rest.
There are baby chicks and muddy dogs and plenty of wet days for sitting inside and stitching.
But soon the days will warm and the sun will shine more often than not, and this girl will have a lot of yard work to catch up on. I wish the middle March days of promise would linger just a little bit longer.

Feniscowles Hall Update
It was brought to my attention this morning that in all of the rush of details getting ready for Market, I completely forgot to add the skein count for thread colors needed for this design.
I am SO sorry!
All colors, if stitched with one thread over two like the model, will only use one skein with the exception of the two greens used in the lawn.
You will need 3 skeins of Oscar and 2 skeins of Grasshopper.
I have updated my files, and any charts printed from this time forward will have the correct quantities on the materials list.
