Need to Sit!

Well I haven't been stitching much. I haven't decided who I feel about it. I'm enjoying all that I'm doing, but I miss making things. Lately, between dog club stuff, karate stuff, skating club stuff, renovating my new home and prepping for my BF's surgery...well I think that speaks for itself.

However, I couldn't resist getting this chart that was made from a painting I commissioned of my pup:

Jo Lynch painted it and Heaven and Earth Designs converted it to cross stitch.

And, I couldn't leave the HAED site without getting another chart...as if I'll ever have the time to stitch all of this stuff:

This is such a lovely piece!

There's a stitching retreat coming up that I really really want to go to because I've missed so many. It's been a long time since I've had the chance to chat with my stitching friends. But it happens to be the night my BF comes home from the hospital. Maybe his sister can sit for me - I hope!!
