Posting later than usual because I had to walk the streets after dinner. I spent all day on my ass stitching with strangers and the Strawberry Sampler crew. I think I had about 200 steps when I got home after stitching 9-5. The dude and I walked to dinner, but that was still only about 2,000. Even the dog walk--shorter than usual because Stella's still not up to par--only brought me to about 5,000.The good news in that paragraph is that I spent the day stitching. I feel rejuvinated. I finished Tada Santa (just needed a few silvery stitches) and worked on the dude's anniversary sampler. This is Silver Creek's 47 Hearts stitched with the called-for colors on Vintage Country Mocha. You can see the before here.
And if you are wondering how I magically know the fabric name this time and not before it's because the woman sitting next to me today wanted to know, and we asked Molly because I knew she'd know. She took one look and said, "is it plain on the back? It's Vintage Country Mocha." She's a goddess.

I love November and your "post every day". Living vicariously through your interesting life somehow makes mine more bearable:-)
Aww, I hope Stella feels better soon.
Congratulations on getting the Tada Santa finished! What a handsome guy! Glad to see more stitches in the Dude's anniversary piece! I really like the colors on the vintage country mocha. I am envious that you got to stitch with TSS crew.
The anniversary piece is lovely. Some ladies have such good memories for thread numbers, fabrics etc.
Great work on the sampler, I love Vintage Country Mocha, I must get some more.
Keep up the stepping, does it count if you jiggle your legs while you are sitting down?
Hope Stella is feeling more herself.
Cute finish and nice progress Nikki.
Linda
