Chart Title Meme

First, I love that your suggestions for my oddly uncharacteristic adherence to the Bent Creek Lighthouse pattern ranged from "just don't skip the stitches as recommended" to  "just stitch random skips." Peeps, this is usually my recommendation to you! I don't know what's happened to me.

Every five years, (2005. 2010) I do this little meme on my blog. What a lovely tradition. You are welcome to join in! (See the 2005 post for an explanation.)

Are you male or female? Her Majesty 

Describe yourself. Wee Bit Wicked

How do you feel about yourself? Hell is other people

How do some people feel about you? Wonder Woman

Describe your love interest. British Wildlife

Describe your best friend. Old Friends

Describe where you currently live. Dear House

Where would you rather be? At the Beach

Describe what you want to be. Ocean of Wisdom

Describe how you live. Kiss Love Laugh Craft

Describe how you love. Hold on to Each Other

Share a few words of wisdom. Stir with the Big Girls

Now use a title to say goodbye. Stoneware Wishes: Fare Thee Well

Haunting

I'm not into Just Nan. I usually think her designs are too fussy. But I am in LOVE! with the inside of the needlework etui, Scream House, the new exclusive from the Silver Needle. Do you see that pumpkin inside? Removable pincushion.

As usual, it ain't cheap--$80. Plus the pins are $6.5 and the floss is $11.25.

Available in late August; reservations taken now.

Photo totally swiped from Silver Needle, but how can they mind? It's enabling free advertising.

Leah Enables

Leah has found the pattern. Jacob's Sampler from Cedar Hill. But here's what's weird. I think I was in Cedar Hill's booth! Am I just confusing this pattern with another? BestPal, you were there. Have I lost my mind?

Anyway, Leah's link is not lost on me because I am looking for a sampler to do for a cousin's baby, and Cedar Hill had a cutie.

In more news of Leah's enabling, I actually started the marquoir. There's not much to show at this point. I am using black and 921. It's going to be perfect in the dining room, you know, in 17 months when it's done.

Pardonnez, mes amies francais

Last year at Hershey, I saw the cutest sheep pattern. The daughter of the shop owner was working in the booth, and as charming as she was all she knew about the pattern was, "it's French." So I sort of put it out of my mind, because really, do I not have enough patterns? This month, I was flipping through the online stitching magazine, The Gift of Stitching, and there was the pattern! In an article about cartonnage (making cardboard boxes). I wrote a note to the editor, but she doesn't speak French, so she can't help me. That's sort of a lame response, but I won't go there. She suggested I go on their forum. And, I should, but I am so adverse to fora.

The picture features three fat sheep, grey, black, and white (l-r) under the letters "ABC" and above the lowercase alphabet. Je voudrais le modele!

If you have a hint of who the designer is, please let me know!

Merci beaucoup.

Oh, and Lee asked how I found yesterday's link. I was reading someone's blog and decided to click on a blog I didn't normally read, then another, and then I found myself at the website. It's like synchronicity.
