I've spent this past week working more of a normal schedule. I've had meetings to prep for and the usual chores to do but a lot more free time for stitching!!! And I have used my stitching time well!
Good progress has been make on The Red House Sampler. It is going much more quickly than I thought it would for a large sampler and I am now feeling pretty good about getting this one finished this year.

I got a good start on Strawberry Fields Forever this week too. Such a cute piece and so delicate looking on the 40 ct. linen. I have made some changes to the thread colors, no surprise there, but just for dye lot issues really.

Both of these will now go back in their respective pouches and something new will move into the rotation. I haven't started several of the SALs I've signed up for yet so I think it needs to be one of those, I want to start the Serenity Harbor piece and then maybe work on the Pink Sparrow Sampler which is my selection for the WTN&T SAL. Other than that, who knows??!! I don't really have a set schedule worked out, just working on the general list as the mood strikes. Hoping the 'no real plan' strategy will keep things fresh and moving along!
So that's all I have for now. I'll be trying really hard to hermit this weekend and get tons of stitching done!
Wishing you all the same, Laura
Both of these pieces look great! I have Strawberry Fields in my stash and now I have to go look at The Red House sampler -- love the way it looks! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
