Oh what a great weekend for stitching! It was cold and snowy on Saturday, so we hunkered down during the day and watched it blow in. In the evening we did go out with friends for dinner and a couple of drinks, but during the day I was able to start a new project, do some baking and a little bit of tidying. I really wish I had finished the ornament that I had started but I'll be able to finish that up this week.
I also stitched up the Plum Street Sampler section from this week. A couple of crowns and a cross added this week, plus I improvised and corrected a mistake that was made in the chart. I had already finished stitching the flower when I saw that there was a correction posted, but instead of frogging it all out, I improvised with some extra stitches, so mine is going to be a little different than what other's have stitched. But I must say that I really love how it's looking, I was a little leery about my fabric choice at the beginning, but I have to say that I don't think that I could have chosen a better piece for it.
Then finally is Humboldt Coast, my Sunday SAL with Kati. I thought I would get farther with this as well on Sunday but we ended up going out late Sunday afternoon and didn't get home until late evening, and then by then I didn't have any mojo. So I was what I managed in the early afternoon.
This coming weekend is another hunting weekend, so after some shopping on Saturday it's going to be a stitchy weekend (and finishing fingers-crossed).

All pieces look absolutely lovely! I'm a little further north than you and here was also snowy and cold. Today I had to plug in my car for the first time, the mercury has dropped to -25.
Lovely stitches! I really like your fabric choice for the Plum Street design. :-)
You got so much done! Your weekend sounds perfect, baking, stitching and dinner with friends!
Great progress on your projects during the IHSW weekend. I particularly love Humboldt Coast, it looks gorgeous.
Lovely stitching progress this past weekend!
Hunkering down during a snowstorm with my stitching is one of my favorite ways to pass the time! Lovely progress on all, Barbi!
Sounds like a lovely weekend. Everything looks great.
Love all your WIPs! Humboldt Coast is stunning! Love the fabric on that one, too!
Sounds like a great weekend. Looking forward to a good snowstorm to hunker down and stitch!
