It actually wasn't all that bad. Most of the words were over two, not over one. And they went quickly and took up a lot of space. :D But I'm glad to be here now.
Instead of here.
I do love the owls though.
It's also TUSAL time.
My ORT jar always looks the same, doesn't it? Oh well. I put my ORT jar with my bear from Lori Ann Corelis.
I will leave you with a picture of Mia playing with a Keurig cup. The father type left a box of Keurig cups for his coffee maker on the bed. Mia loves coffee and will do anything to get some. So of course she plunged into the box of K cups and grabbed one. Such a cute baby.
Thanks as always for stopping by and saying hi. And thank you for the sweet words about my FIL and the birthday wishes for the father type. Both were greatly appreciated. I hope everyone has a great week.

Your sampler is looking wonderful. You are right about it being wordy :)
Happy belated birthday to your DH.
Have a great week.
The sampler looks great. Glad you can now concentrate on the fun part for you.
Mary Allen is looking great Margaret!! I have her all kitted up, but I'm not sure when I'll get to her. :) Mia is such a cutie! I really want a kitty! :)
I'm not sure if Mia and I would get along, for fight over the morning Keurig coffee! Beautiful job on Mary Allen. Now I'm realizing why my progress slowed down on her, I swapped from doing words to working on the center section, then swapped to other projects.

What beautiful work you have accomplished on Mary Allen. I love all of the verses on her, but I know what you mean when there are so many words to stitch. This is a sampler to treasure.
Crossing in Stitches With You!
Fantastic stitching, it's looking great
Beautiful! Wonderful! Awesome! Mary is just stunning, Margaret. Happy belated BD to your husband!
So much progress!! Coffee?? I have never heard of cats liking it. Mia is such a character. :3
Oh your Mary Allen is beautiful Margaret. You stitch so FAST !! And another thing I love about Mia...she loves her coffee !!! Yea....
I cannot imagine what my kitties would be like on caffeine! LOL.
Wonderful work on the sampler - you are really in the home stretch now. :)
Oh my god ! your sampler is very beautiful,
have a good time my friend
Beautiful work! The owl is very charming! I think the next time you show us a sampler in all its glory!
Wow...Margaret, it's almost a finish!
The sampler is amazing, but very wordy as you say:) You are being very patient! Never heard of a cat that likes coffee, though.... Cats are strange animals, but we do love them so.
Seeing your stitched Mary sure makes me want to start it. You continue to amaze me with your speed. I feel so inadequate!
Your sampler is looking great and as always, Mia is a cutie!
Too pretty, can't wait until next week to see your finish ;-). And happy belated birthday to your DH!!!!
Love, love the stitching and little Mia of course.
Oh my goodness - I just wanna get through the monitor and grab one of those pink little feet of Mia's - she is so incredibly cute!
The sampler looks fabulous! Congrats on being done with all those letters - tedious, I know, but well worth it; it is simply gorgeous looking! And you have all the good stuff left to do! LOL
Margaret - what a fabulous sampler you are stitching!!
Is it really tusal time again?? Funny, but I always think mine looks the same too!
How cute is Mia with the k-cup!?! Does she prefer a bold coffee or milder one?
It's always interesting to see what will entertain a pet. You can never tell what will capture their attention!
Great progress on the sampler!
You're making fantastic progress on your sampler:)
That's a ton of words...and they look beautiful. Nice progress. Cute Mia, as always!
Your sampler is coming along beautifully - you must be a very quick stitcher!!! It takes me forever to complete a sampler. Have you also been working on the Ann Wheatley sampler? I'm curious to see the part with Adam and Eve. Adele
That sampler is work of art for sure! Beautiful!
Heheeheee! Cats love the trashiest things, don't they? My Meisha is obsessed with straws I let her have when I'm done with them. They're just her favorite thing EVER.
Loving the sampler!!! :)
Oh I'm dying for a kitty! The hubs says no... But, if he dies first, I'm getting a cat!
Love Mary Allen....and the owl is just darling! Don't you just love all the fun motifs samplers have! Enjoy your fall Margaret!
Great progress on the sampler - I can imagine your being pleased about finishing all those words.
That's a beautiful sampler! Whats cuter, those owls or Mia...I think the coffee loving fur ball - so funny!
This looks just beautiful. Enjoy not stitching letters!
Love the words you did on your sampler Margaret, but they do take a long time and can imagine it's time to do some motifs!!
Sorry to hear of the passing of your FIL.
Mary Allen is looking gorgeous, great progress.
I'm very sorry to hear of the loss of your Father in Law.
Silly father type! Leaving something on the bed for Miato grab. And she took it off to bed with her, curled right around it. Animals are so funny!
Over 2 is better than over 1. I have decided, if I ever finish the words on Flora Virginia Homes, that when I have over one on words, I will try using tent stitches instead of cross stitches. Looks great Margaret!
Mary Allen is simply beautiful Margaret. You'll be happy dancing in no time. And is that a hand stitched quilt I see under Mia? :) Gorgeous!!
I've just browsed through the last posts of your blog as I was a way from blog reading for a couple of weeks.
What a sad post about your FIL's passing away. Having had a loss in my family myself one of the past weeks I know how sad it makes us.
Although it's already a bit late I want to say a Happy belated birthday to your husband!
It's incredible how fast you can stitch. Maybe your latest sampler is already finished by now. Is it? It's so beautiful.
