Got to go to Stitcher's Paradise today for the Wednesday stitch in and managed to get a fair bit done between last night and today. I am really pleased with the way the piece is turning out and I can't wait to see it finished! :) I think it's going to turn out nicely and I should have it finished by Thanksgiving. I have a three day weekend then, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I am going to make sure that ALL of my chores are done before then, so I can stitch my little paws off! :D
At any rate, here are the stitchy notes:

Tonight's dinner is homemade beef stew and a really hearty loaf of sourdough bread. Can't wait as it's finally turned cold here in the LV valley!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful week! :)

Got a fair amount of stitching time in yesterday, which makes me happy. The piece is very easy to stitch and I can go at a relaxed pace and yet it's going quite quickly. Which means I will have this done long before Christmas, LOL! :)
I am stitching the cabin from the third sampler from Prairie Schooler's Christmas Samplers II leaflet, which you can see here:
Sorry to say that when I am finished, the leaflet will NOT be for sale or trade. I plan on stitching this at least twice more, and I am plotting out a possible third way.
I've converted the DMC into Soie D'Alger threads and it's really popping on the fabric. Here is the conversion I am using. (It is my own conversion and YMMV should you use it. :) )

The dark forest green is really popping on the fabric and I am really, really enjoying stitching with so much silk!
At any rate, here is my update. I am hoping to get some more done before I go into work today:
