Sixteen days until Opening Day! I've don't bother watching the few spring training games that are broadcast on TV - the commentators seem to be so bored that they will yatter on about anything but what's happening on the field.
I dashed out of the office last night and forgot to take the current WIP off my cube wall. Unless I decide to start something new, there won't be any stitching at all this weekend which might not be a bad idea.
It's 'sposed to be sunny and 70 outside today. Sweetie took her first foray out of the house yesterday while Colin and I watched over her....just a few minutes around the front steps. While I was at work, she helped herself out the cat door and was staring in at Jim from the back deck demanding to be let in!

I swoon for this color combination ... bee-you-tee-ful!
thanks Morna. Me too. each color is pushed AWAY from christmas just enough to make for excitement
Christmas never even crossed my mind! But The Preppy Handbook did! :-)
What size is this?
Reminds me of our Rothko discussion way back when. Are you going to leave it so beautifull plain?
"Fenway Park" is a tidy 12"x12". those little cross stitches are a hair more than 1/8th inch, all eyeballed of course.
Yes, this piece goes back to a whole series I did called "Rothkos Puppies".
The center piece of green has cool history. My aunt had a hunting lodge near Flint, Michigan. When she passed and the property was sold, I was given a box of cotton sheets that had been custom made for The Lodge...all since gone into the dyepots and various pieces of work. I can always pick out the high thread count but crude weave compared to modern cottons. Wonderful to sleep under and loved the dyes.
