A Finish and a Partial Finish

I hope everyone is enjoying this first weekend in February.  Time is just flying by -- work is keeping me busy but I always find time to stitch every day, even if it's only for a half hour.  Stitching just relieves stress the stress for me and I always feel better after putting needle and thread to fabric.  I'm sure you all feel the same way too. 

Well I finally have a finish!  This is the Pinkeep from Brenda Gervais newest design -- Valentine Sampler.  I love all of the designs in her newest book and chose the pinkeep to stitch first.

I am ALMOST finished with Frances Pool.  This is another design by Brenda Gervais.  The colors and motifs in this reproduction sampler just sing to me:))))

Thanks for stopping by and visiting with me.  Anyone who knows me knows how much I love football and I'm certainly going to miss it for the next several months so I plan on watching/listening to this last game of the 2012 season and getting Frances that much closer to a finish!  I hope you have time to stitch today!  Have a good week:)

Until next time.....
