Freezin'

What could be better in the winter time ---when it is freezing out???  Besides stitching, is having a great big roaring fire!!!!  Yes, it has been super cold and last night we were toasty warm by this great fire :)

Yes, along with the warm fire, was a glass of wine and some stitching!!!  Of course!!!  I chose to continue with Isabella for a bit, and I am loving her.  She is ever so delicate and even with the cow, very elegant dont you think? 

I took this picture while Isabella was laying across my lap, so she is a bit lop-sided in the picture, but I assure you she is not :)  I hope to get the next section done, so that maybe tomorrow night I can start on the infamous cow.  I am going to have to make some adjustments to the colors, the poison apple belle soie that I am using, does not have much variation, so I am going to add a lighter color to get the look like the original.  I have to do a little more diving today--- darn it.  I hate looking at my stash!!!!!!!!!!!  LOL.
Thanks for all the encouragement on my decision to work on WIP's this January, I am looking to start the Drawn Thread piece, and also Ann Dale: Big and Tall but I am not sure when.  Ann, among all the other Ann's that I have playing in the yard, needs a bit of work-- and I mean choosing the right color linen, and playing with some of the silks.  When that finally happens, I will start her.  In the meantime, I am enjoying Isabella :)

Hope everyone is stitching madly and staying warm!!!!!!
