First finish of 2011.... (MAJOR Happy Dance!)

Heaven Doth Ask
Brenda Keyes/The Sampler Company
Stitched over 1, 25 ct with DMC
I made my goal & finished "Heaven Doth Ask" by the end of February - woohoo!!!  Needless to say, I LOVE the sampler & I'm THRILLED that it's finished!!  It may not look like much, but the 80,000++ stitches in that bottom section (not including the border) was something.  I thought I'd never get the sky filled in!  Did I say I'm happy that it's done?  :-)  :-)  :-)  I picked it back up on Jan. 21st (I think?) and started with the words "Weak though we are" and finished it right around midnight on Feb. 27th.  Not too bad considering I can't stitch 10 hours a day! ;-)  The pic below was taken after I'd started stitched the first line of words - look at how much of the border was stitched then (not much!).  ;-) 


I hope to have another UFO finish to show you by the end of April - fingers crossed!  I do have some other things (sewing mostly) that MUST be done by then as well, so I imagine I won't have quite as much stitching time - we'll see.  The UFO I will work on next isn't over one - that should help a bit.  :-)

Thanks for stopping by & Happy Stitching!

Title : Vibram Fivefingers KSO EVO W, Women's Fitness, Grey (Grey/Pink), 6-6.5 UK (37 EU) ASIN : B00DYXNW8C Description : MINIMALIST RUNNING / BAREFOOT RUNNING The typical human foot is an anatomical masterpiece of evolution with 26 bones, 33 joints, 20 muscles, and hundreds of sensory receptors, tendons and ligaments. To keep our feet healthy, like the rest of our bodies, they need to be stimulated and exercised regularly. Many experts believe the shoes we wear not only cast the foot in a protective form, but can also weaken our foot and leg muscles, leaving them underdeveloped and more susceptible to injury. And while there are many occasions where traditional footwear is essential for protection, safety, and security, it is equally important to stimulate and exercise our feet in a more natural state on a regular basis.
