Well yesterday I was ranting about the fact that there was no clear line up between the pages of the chart I am working on and today I can rant about frogging the whole top portion of my door since sure enough, I missed a row and everything was off. The lucky thing was I was getting bored with all the white work so I decided I would put the wreath on the door and low and behold, it didn't line up. At least I didn't have the lintel and posts sewn yet! :-) So away I ripped last night and this morning I started the door again. This is really going quite quickly (when I am sewing and not ripping) and I can't wait to get to the hardanger cutting and wrapping. I have been frustrated that I haven't been able to find the 36 count linen that I need for the second layer. I don't have any LNS's around here and have to either order on line or drive to Louisville (200 miles round trip) or Lexington (140 miles round trip). Then last night I was looking at the chart and I realized that there are no partial or specialty stitches so I can do the bottom layer on 18 count aida. I hate spendng a fortune on fabrics especially when so little of it will actually be seen.

Today I am going to Old Fashioned Day in Walton. Read about it. It is a street fair with food, crafts and music. It should be a lot of fun. There is also a book sale at the library. Books are without a doubt my second vice. I am now reading the Dorothea Benton Frank low country tales. I just finished my first,Sullivan's Island last night. I loved it. I have also been reading the Kathy Reich's "Tempe Brennan" series which will be a TV show this fall called Bones and I just finished all but the last of Earlene Fowler's Benni Harper mysteries all of which center around quilts. My reading choices like my music choices are quite eclectic.

I still haven't scanned where I am now on Christmas House but today's picture is my last scan from February. Until this week I hadn't worked on it much.
