What are we going to stitch next??

Just saw my post from last night. Spellcheck did a clever trick, which I didn't notice then. I do not have a Landfill, but do have a "late DFIL".

Sometimes a spell checker rocks !

I am knitting at the moment, have crocheted five afghans since last Xmas ready for next Xmas and am now back on socks.

I have recently picked up a book again; somehow I got out of the routine of reading but urged on by Lucille bought an ereader and that's such a convenient way to read.

Currently reading Whistleblower by Kathryn Bolkovac and then on to Message from an Unknown Chinese Mother - which sounds like it will be a difficult read.

I also downloaded a lot of poetry from the Gutenberg Project which is enjoyable.

well, thanks to a few FB stitching friends, I got involved with a cross continent round robin. My current piece is for Katya in Russia and it a piece called "Houses" from Soda. (a Korean designer). Way way outside my normal stitching zone, being very cutesy.

I'll get my next piece in a week or so, about the time I send Houses along to the next stitcher.

-- I'm back at my "seasonal" job. Despite all, shoes are selling fast and furious.

I just started a Peace on Earth Xmas hanging....slightly larger than an orni. I'm hoping to stretch it out to take on vacation. Also I finally opened the Textile Heritage Lilies of the Valley bookmark and plan to take that along as well. Still on a break from Fractal 53.

I'm about 1/2 done with the last wise man on my nativity, which leaves

I think before I start the camels, though, I'm going to do something small and quick...and something with colors other than "antique" shades of floss. It's beeeauuutiful little thread-winder case (name of which escapes me at the moment) that I got from Mavia after she had stitched it. It's on rctnp in her stuff if you want to take a look. Unfortunately, she wouldn't part with the gorgeous butterfly thread- winder!!! :)

Saw your comment about spell-check. LOLOL! I *was* wondering about the "Landfill's widow" thing!

I'm about 3/4 through "Dog Lessons for People" by Lizzie Kate and about 1/4 through "Amazing Colors". I am doing entirely in my own color scheme - which is pretty much whatever strikes my fancy as I do each square.

We're head to Naperville over Labor Day and I intend to hit Designer's Desk and Tomorrow's Heirlooms when there to pick up a bit of stash....
