Spider Web
We have a spider web in our barn door. My granddaughter wanted to know if our house is haunted.
Burning Pile
This is where Princess likes to fetch her toys. We have been busy cutting down trees in the yard.
Woodchuck
Princess loves to carry huge tree branches off and eat them....instead of playing with her toys. This dog really does have toys....she should have been a woodchuck.
Corn Field in July
This is the corn field next to my house.

Randomizer Website
Here's the randomizer site: http://www.randomizer.org/form.htm
If you start say with a list of 7 projects (numbered 1-7), then under the heading: numbers per set, you put in 3. Under number range you put 7 then press Randomize now, answer comes up in another screen.
You can also download into excel (more important if you are choosing multiple numbers). This takes the personal touch out of selecting which project you do, when you find it hard to choose. Then you just have to stick with the number choice the randomizer has made!! And decide when you want to make a new selection.

Mirabilia's Stargazer
The colors are much richer and deeper in person. I can't wait to see it completed.
French Alphabet Sampler
This is going slow as well. I am not progressing as fast since I had to rip out the whole large letter A.

Stargazer
I am so pleased in how this is turning out. I really want to start adding the beads, but I will most likely wait until the end.
White Cross Stitch Afghan
This afghan has been fun to stitch. So far I have only used one DMC skein in 827. I can't wait to see what it will look like when it is completed.
French Alphabet Sampler
My French Alphabet Sampler started to look a little better after having to frog the capital A. I just hope that I have enough thread from the 1 hank.
