Miss Johnstone

Another great weekend has been put to bed.  Some much planning goes into some of these weekends it is incredible.  Then within a blink of an eye, it is all over and what we have left are fabulous memories!!  I surprised some of my friends this weekend at a stitching event, and I think they were almost left speechless!!  Yea!!  I am so excited to see everyone!!!!!  I love surprises, it is hard to get me to be surprised.....I am too much of a busy body.  But surprising others, easy :)
Yesterday was one of the wettest days I can remember.  I think it rained, and it rained hard for like 18 hours.  It was pouring when I finally got up, and was pouring till about 11pm.  WOW.  But, there is no real negative to this day---- only positive.  I got alot of stitching done.
We watched 3 movies, and I stitched and stitched and stitched.  Even during the day!!  Very unusual for me to stitch in the daytime.  I have an enormous feeling of guilt because I should be doing work......but I said to heck with work, I am stitching.  And, here she is:

My mistake and I feel bad, that I have been calling Miss Johnstone, Miss Johnson.   I forgot the 't'.  Oh well, as long as her name is stitched right, that is all that matters!!  LOL.  So petite- she is 6 1/2" wide x 9" tall.  Stinkin' cute right?!  She will go with the other finished ladies to be framed in no time.  She is worked in most of the called for Belle Soie colors on 45ct Vintage Maritime White (love this color).  I made some 'adjustments' in the flowers, just because.  I am happy to have her complete!!  I already grabbed another project that I stitched on last night ATS-- but I am not sure that piece will be the one I work on for a while or something else.  One of the very best things about finishing a sampler (for me) is that I can go into the basement and look through the stash/WIPs to see which one is yelling the loudest!!!!!

I hope all of you had a fantastic weekend, I look forward to a great week!!!   For so many reasons!!!!!!!
Thanks for stopping by!!
