In search of a project

It has been snowing here, and was really windy earlier. I am not due back to work until Saturday night. I am snug inside with a divine-smelling candle flickering and a dvr'd Hallmark movie playing. I am curled up in my cozy chair. I stocked the fridge and the pantry yesterday. So I'll bet you can guess that I am not going to leave home today.

I need a project. My fingers are fairly itching to be busy with some yarn or thread or paper crafty something. I have been searching etsy, and blogs, and looking at craftty stitchy books and magazines looking for inspiration.

I ordered some counted cross-stitch supplies---Blackbird Designs chart, and Crescent Colors flosses. But until that arrives, I will just have to dig through my stash and find something.

Having recently moved, I have a second bedroom that can function as a crafty space.

These pics should give you an idea as to the color/style direction I want to take.

The postman delivered some yarn the other day that I think will be a fairly good match.

And I want to use this valance pattern, altering the gauge just a little to make

it a little lacier.

I have another crochet wip, and a cross stitch I can work on. (Not to mention more stash than any reasonable person would think they "need") So the plan is to take a little nap and then hopefully I can get some clarity and feel rested enough to decide on one of these and get going.

I'll keep you posted. In the meantime ......Joy and blessings.........Deb
