I am working on the alphabet sampler by Alicia Paulson. I decided to start it the day I read about her adopting a baby girl a few weeks ago. I was so happy when I read the news on Alicia's blog. Hers was one of the first I read years ago. The kit had been sitting around for a few months now so I was happy for the excuse to start something new. I forgot how fun cross stitch is. I am up to the 'teacup' now which is next to the letter 't.'

Isn't Alicia's story amazing! Her little daughter is so precious and it is so fun to read about her life. I have been reading since the beginning and, and she was the reason I started blogging. I think of her as the godmother of the craft blog world :)
I love to embroider, but I never got the hang of the counted cross stitch. I get how to start in the center and all, but if you are doing it on a tight weave linen, how to you get the pattern even, if that makes any sense? This new kit of hers is so sweet. I'm working on a couple of Sublime stitching patterns now. One for me and one for my daughter for Christmas
Oh, I just bought this, and thought it would be something fun to do this winter. Although I've never done counted cross stitch, so it should be interesting!
it's beautiful. i love this sampler and i know you'll make a gorgeous version. x
