Here is my 1st Tusal for the next year. A few days late as I realized my camera batteries were dead AND I had none left in the house. Considering we bought tons at Christmas, that's saying something! LOL

This is fresh threads, all started January 1st, so there's not much there yet. I guess that's a good thing, because it means not much frogging right? In the background you can see a new WIP - Bent Creek's "You Are My Sunshine" birth sampler. I always sang this song to my daughter when she was little and now I sing it to my Granddaughter Emma. I bought a Lavendar & Lace piece to do as a birth sampler, but I know it will take me a while to finish, so I decided to do this in the interim so she can have it to hang in her room.

Emma turned 1 on December 1st. I'm stitching it on some miscellaneous 28ct hand dyed linen I got in a grab bag from Ebay with the called for Gentle Arts Sampler Threads.
