    Sounds like you had a wonderful time at the retreat! The stitching is wonderful and I’m really loving your counted canvas pieces. I keep eyeing it and then remind myself that I’m soooo busy with the other 600 crafts I’m doing LOL

    Your Cats' Eyes piece looks great! I love that you saved the stitch by adopting Olga😊. That Scissor Sampler is such a gorgeous pattern. I've seen a few flosstubers finish it, and it's so beautiful. That fabric strip box is a great idea I stitch on aida, so it's stiffer and would roll up similar to your canvases. You have quite a few counted canvas pieces! 😂. They're all beautiful. I admire how you are able to do such a variety of needlearts. Be careful in all that rain, and enjoy your retreat in May!

And speaking of fabric colors, the pieces you dyed look fantastic! Soooo pretty! I love your little pillow finishes. Holly Hobby looks adorable! I remember her, but don't think I ever had the doll. Your little Christmas stockings look awesome as well. Enjoy the nice weather and your stitching time!😊

    I am back! Lol I am a child of the 80's and while I remember Holly Hobby I don't think I ever had anything HH. But I ADORE your stitch! The stockings look so good. You are right, your fabrics are gorgeous. I kinda felt like market was a dud for me this year too. I am all about the smalls right now, because as long as I don't have a lot of fabric and can use a light hoop I am able to stitch. I've been plowing through my quirky quaker stash.

    That color of Holly Hobby is the one I remember. I was born in 77 and my nursery had holly hobby in it. But I too don't remember much more than a quilt. Stylistically, she is so pleasing-- that peasant dress with those awesome boots and funky apron? You chose THE perfect fabric for that piece! I'm so jealous.
