Wow where has the time gone

Vacation---yeah!  I'm sitting in a window seat at midnight in a vacation home I've rented for the week with friends.  So far we've sat around the table and talked...and talked...and talked. Absolutely wonderful, relaxing, interesting.  Finally finished my Sampler Cove project and forgot to bring it so I could upload pics--will do that later.  Will also load a few other pics tomorrow.  Just wanted to check in, say I'm reading your blogs and glad you're there.  Seeing your work continues to inspire me.
Went through a period after concentrating on the one project for so long that I couldn't face another stitch. Wasn't sure if this was a permanent condition..thankfully..due to all of your beautiful work, the
sound of the needle is calling again.  So tomorrow I'll be planting myself here with needle, thread, and
new project by Drawn Thread "To Every Season", a book of scripture dear to my heart.

The design of the green WIP (seen in post below)

I've had requests for the name of the "all things green" pattern (below)---Peggy I couldn't find your email address---sorry.   It's from Sampler Cove and is called Kaleidoscope Flower. They stitched it in overdyed gold tones on black--so if you look for it, keep that in mind.   I'm doing 28ct over 2, using Crescent colors "Balsam Fir"...speaking of which. Since our local cstitch store closed its doors at the end of this year I had the novel experience today of realizing I didn't have enough of this color, so had to go online to order it!   That of course meant I could't riffel through the colors and pick out exactly the right skein that has more of the lighter green rather than very dark.  And the other shocker was that the postage cost more than the thread ...so  I can now sympathize with all of you who haven't been fortunate enough to have a good store close to you.
