Labor Day Finish


Little House Needleworks
Necessities Sampler
Stitched over 2 on Confederate Grey Linen
This was a really fun stitch, as are all LHN pieces. I'm not thrilled with my fabric selection, but I threw some fabric in my bag on the way to Splash Lagoon earlier in August so I had to work with what I brought. I would like to mount this on the top of a box or basket, if I can find one the right size.
We're off in about an hour for a picnic at my parents' house. School starts tomorrow and Cheese is not impressed. He's happy that he can finally wear his school clothes and shoes, but not happy about the actual school part. We went up last night to put his things in his locker and do a walkthrough of the first day. He seems pretty confident about finding his classes, but it will be hard for me to stay in my office and not peek into the hallway to see how things are going. With all the construction that happened in the building over the summer, I'm sure I'll be occupied with other things, but my thoughts will be with him all day.
Stay tuned for a first day of school picture tomorrow!
