I seem to be in a somewhat unproductive period these days with respect to stitching and crafting. Too many distractions I guess and not in the right frame of mind. But I did finish stitching this very sweet design from
The Sampler Girl. This is done on a piece of 32-count hand-dyed Lugana from Sassy. The fabric looked so different in various lights that it was tricky to pick colors. But I'm pretty happy with the results. I'm planning to make it into a pillow trimmed with the print corduroy fabric in the photo. Just didn't have enough of that for a backing too, so I have to find the right backing fabric before I sew it up.
Spring break is over in the Birthday Village and the kids are going back to school. I tried stitching the kids just as they were designed, but since I had changed the girl on the swing, the new kids just didn't match. So they are all completely re-charted to be a little more in proportion. Don't know if I love them, but I was definitely ready to let them stay as is after stitching them.

Dont change the children they look fine.
As always everything looks so bright and cheerful and pretty! I love that design of Tanya's - printed it out but haven't stitched it yet. Your color choices are very nice. The Birthday Village is just wonderful, and I wouldn't change a thing!
Love that village Annie. The children look perfect - even happy to be back at school(not like mine. lol)
I hadn't seen that design from The Sampler Girl yet, Annie--your stitching of it is so pretty and I think the colors you chose work perfectly with Sassy's lugana...
Love that cute little village--I never can resist anything miniature or little :) Cute children, too--they are perfect as you stitched them!
They're both so cute. Love that little village.
I love that Sampler Girl design! Love your village too -- it's just wonderful, and getting better with every addition!
Hold Upon Happiness looks great...I really like that chart! The Village is coming along great and so far the girl on the swing is my favourite part. Happy stitching!

Darling finishes Annie!!!
I'd say you've been productive Annie! Love your finishes :o) The kids look similar to your other little girl so don't touch them! LOL!
Both projects look super nice
Annie! I think the Happiness one will look great on a pillow.
Love the sampler girl design and hope to stitch it too one day. I am sure it will look great into a pillow.
Another lovely block for the village.
Have a wonderful week!!
Both projects are great!
The kids look like they match just fine to me, btw. :)
I love both of your projects! I hope you get back into the crafty mojo mood--I hate it when that happens! It happens to me every year around this time--I'm just hoping it passes me by this year.
Lovely little sampler girl finish. The kids are cute!
Your SG finish is lovely Annie. Look forward to more up-dates on your cute SAL.
Hi Annie, I've been able to visit your blog at last, and have been admiring all your stitching. Everything is so cute!
I have ordered another computer (a few years younger than mine) so when I get it hooked up, I hope to be able to visit all my blog friends more regularly. I'm on Ken's laptop right now because my PC has slowed down to almost nothing...
