Sunday Organizing

It's another rainy Sunday here in my section of Clark County, Nevada. It's supposed to rain off and on until Thursday, but we will see how that goes. I don't mind so much as I find I do a lot of cleaning out and organizing with it gets like this. Since I have finished some projects, I need to put up the DMC that I have used and get out my project for SanMan Sunday. I've chosen Summer Side, which Sandy very generously gifted me with over the holidays on the SMO message board. It's a really easy stitch and I am looking forward to stitching it on my own hand dyed fabric.


Here is the card that I've put together for my Mom for her birthday. Another fun stitch from Sandy at SanMan Originals.


Design: March 2010 Calendar (Member Only pattern, not for sale or trade)

Designer: Sandra Dering of SanMan Originals


Fabric: unknown count of cream and gold evenweave

Fibers: DMC 700, 701, 704 and 712


Accouterments: Irish Green satin ribbon from Michael's. Card Stock from Diecuts With A View in Spring Green Parchment.

Time for more organizing and more stitching. I need to get together my projects for the road trip DH is taking me for my birthday next weekend. He's taking me to San Diego for a long weekend. Hopefully we are going to the San Diego Zoo, which I've always wanted to visit. :)


Hope everyone has had a good weekend!
