Let's start with a bit of show and tell, as I have made some real progress on my CCN "February Cottage," which has been a real joy to stitch. I especially adore the "pinkiness" of it all!

And then, there's poor lonely "Vermont" which has been sitting for weeks all forlorn and forgotten....

But rest assured, dear friend, that this WIP will have much to tell come Monday, as I will be spending the entire weekend dedicated just to his progress, since it is our IHSW!
I am so excited that I can't even tell you, and even Pa has gotten into the spirit as he's watched me happy dancing around the house for days, with anticipation. Gotta love that Pa, who in honor of such a quiet stitchy weekend for Ma, has kindly offered to spend as many hours each day, as possible up on the mountain shredding some wicked turns! Of course, that is how he spends every weekend, but that'll just be our secret.
What's that, you ask? "What is the "IHSW?" Well, let me show you....

And then there was more snow! I know, can you believe it, dear friend? If this isn't a "Be careful what you wish for" winter then I don't know what is....
But Teagan and Leo don't seem to mind!
Check out the full tilt boogie through the fresh 4 inches of snow, and Miss Teagan's cozy jacket., very pretty.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit, and as always hoping that today finds you getting ready for your own peaceful weekend, with a threaded needle in your hand.

Oh my oh my...I love the cottage! I need to order my pattern. Shame on me. I was waiting to order this and a few other things at the same time.
I think I need to find a better stitching chair and join the hermit weekends as my hind-end gets a little numb after a while. ;-)
Beautiful cottage - very pink but very understated at the same time!
Happy IHSW!!!
awe how pink! right up your alley I'd say.

The FEB cottage is so cute!! and I love the snap of the hounds in the snow!!
What a gorgeous snowfall! My hubby & I are hoping to move to a colder, snowier place this year. I did suggest Lapland but he said no, it has to be in the US. Looks like I have to do a little research on the northeast : ) Your stitchings are looking good & thanks for the IHSW info! Never saw that before. Blessings, Shirlee
Great job on February cottage! I love the pinks in it too :)
That pink cottage is the cutest! Your doggies look like they are having a blast in all that snow. Thanks for the info on IHSW, I'm in! with snow on the way this weekend it is perfect timing. Happy Stitching!
These cottages are so cute! The pups sure are having fun!
Your cottage is looking gorgeous. Have fun on IHSW.
very sweet cottage..looking so cute..
happy ihsw xxx
Oh yes, this little cottage is a real beauty. Oh these colours ...
It has been snowing here as well but I don't like it as much as your dogs do. Of course, they do - they don't have to drive in the snow, lol.
I have seen so many stitch this February design and I love every one! Makes me think I should do it too but I am quickly jolted back to reality when I gaze upon my stash basket(s).
:o)
Oh yeah!!! LOVE that pink. How girlie and sweet is that???? :D
Looking forward to seeing Vermont on Monday, and you made me laugh with your excitement about IHSW. I'm pretty excited myself too... can't wait to get home tonight and get started!
Happy hermitting and thanks Pa!! ;)
ooo hope you are enjoying your hermitting ... I am and love the side swerve in the snow ..lol love mouse xxxx
Love the stitching and the pic of the puppers in the snow is so fun!
That cottage is beautiful!
Love the photo of your dogs in the snow! Please send some snow my way :)
Does it count for the hermit stitch if you're not at home? I stitch by myself all weekend but generally it's while I'm waiting for my DH at the church.
There is not a weekend that goes by that I'm not in Ottawa for one of the days.
Love your CCN stitch!
Love the February cottage, and you're so close to being finished with it.
The dogs sure look like they're enjoying playing in the snow.
