Missing Yo"u"

Greetings guys and dolls! We have sunshine today and it feels soooo good. Weather here in Utah is crazy, snow one day and hotter than blue blazes the next. I guess you could say Utah's weather is like a box of chocolates, you never know what to expect! lol
Sunday I started this fun little pattern by Prairie Moon. As I was looking at these photos I thought how strange the colors vary, the linen in the first photo is what it actually looks like. I have ordered some R&R, Copper Penny linen and I am anxiously waiting for it to come, so in the meantime this is what got my attention. You will see later how neat the bird is on it. I think that is why I decided to stitch this one. All it needed was a little revamping on the colors and a rich choice of linen.
I am getting excited for Wednesday to get here as it marks the first day of Shop Hop. Sweet Loraine and I are going shopping together to find more stash! Everyone needs more stash, right?! It is going to be a fun day. I hope you are having a fun and creative day.
Smiles....

Great new start, Jolene! I love Prairie Moon patterns! I wish I could go shopping with you and Loraine.

I'm driving the MINI, and hoping we can go top down for some of the day, if the weather is nice for a change. Wear your sun screen!

Your new start looks terrific. Prairie Moon has some interesting patterns. I love the earthy colours of this one.
Hope you enjoyed your stash buying day out. Sounds like fun and I'm sure you'll tell us all about it. Can't wait!
How lucky you are to have more than one shop you can go to. Have fun!
I just found your lovely blog and have to tell you that your needlework is just beautiful. I have recently rediscovered cross stitch and am having such fun. Your start on 'Missing You' is wonderful. Love your color choices and I look forward to seeing the finished piece. TFS.
I wanna do a shop hop. and I love your new start. I need to start stitching for real again.
Lots of Love
