First of all let me say that this was the most awesome stitching weekend, evah!
I just enjoyed every stitch, and even the frogs didn't seem to bother me as much, probably because I had the opportunity to give myself permission to stitch, stitch, stitch!
I must take a moment to say "Thank you" to our wonderful Joysze, whose is the fearless leader of our IHSW, and if you still haven't discovered her blog, please head on over and make Joysze's acquaintance, as she is a very dear SDFS (sweet dear friend stitcher)for sure!
On Saturday, I started my day with breakfast and coffee with Pa, and a bit if chit chat, but as soon as he left for the mountain and I finished the daily chores, it was straight to my stitching spot, by the fire, where I put needle to fabric and had a glorious day.
I made some good progress on "Vermont"

I returned to find the light waning, but was able to add a few more stitches before it was time to fix supper.
We enjoyed the evening, and spent the night watching Season 1 of "Boardwalk Empire," as the snow continued to fall outside.
On Sunday I set aside "Vermont" in order to put the finishing stitches into "February Cottage."
I do so love this one!
This week I have both January and February on my stitching table, along with some perfectly chosen fabric, ready to be finished. Look for a picture to come soon.
Once I finished "February" I turned my attention back to "Vermont" and stitched the rest of the day away.

I took a break, long enough to head Down Yonder, and back to the real world.
Of course the weekend would not have been complete without "The Football."
And you know how much we adore our football at The Corner, and what a totally awesome match it's going to be between Manning and Brady, or as we say here "Supe's On!"
But I digress, dear friend, and thank you for stopping by for a post IHSW visit on this very gloomy New England morning, and hoping that wherever you are finds you having spent a quiet and relaxing weekend with a stitch or two thrown in for good measure.

What great progress you made, sometimes when we give ourselves the permission to stitch stitch stitch, we have no visits from frogs or any other nasty intrusions. I love your cottage and can' wait to see both finished off. Here's to next months IHSW.

Looks like it was a perfect weekend, stitching cuddled up by the fire, and good football.
I too stitched to the sound of football. It was great and I'm sure you can't wait for the Superbowl, probably won't get much stitching done, but I'll see you there.LOL

I love your February Cottage. Can't wait to see how you finish them. And I can't wait to see the other months. And Vermont is great. I'll have to see if there is a Georgia one! Glad you had a lot of stitching time this weekend.
