On the needlework scene, I'm in the process of having Stephanie at Nouveau Encore design a family sampler for me. I need to send her the info that I've chosen because the more I look, the more I change. It will probably be the largest piece I've attempted and probably the last large chart I will do. There's something great about finishing a piece in a few days and then putting it together or taking it to the framer's.

On the reading scene, the Jane Austen Stitching Group decided to read a book together. Well, I bought it and have read it. Okay, it was passable. To me, there's absolutely nothing about JA that says detective. But I also made another discovery. There is a series of books written by CJ Sansom. They're about a Quasimodo-like character named Matthew Shardlake. He's a Tudor age attorney who solves mysteries. I'm about half finished with the first one. Very good series and I'm going back for more.
That's all on the home front. See ya'll later.

I can't wait to see the finish.
Our 30th high school reunion is this year. I can't wait to see how some of them look after 30 years.
How exciting to have a sampler designed for you, i'll look forward to seeing your progress on this.
Do you think men age faster than women? i see some locally that i was at school with and the ladies always look better than the men, maybe be take more care of ourselves??
I'll enjoy watching your progress on your sampler! I can't wait to see what you've decided to use to represent your family.
I've read "Sovereign" so far--I seem to have a talent in jumping into the middle of a series--and I have "Revelation" (??? That title doesn't seem right... it starts with an R...) waiting for me. It's a fun series!
