I’m not a completionist, but I wish I was. I’ve been stitching Naxos Lattice and just started Golden Celandine but last weekend I just *needed* to start and finish a project. I fell in love with the Latvian Stars pattern that Krista just released in the Pomegranate Collection, but instead of starting a big-ish project, I focused on a motif that was calling my name. It started out as a bookmark…and then I thought I’d fill it with lavender and turn it into a pretty satchel…turns out I don’t have lavender, so who knows what this is! All that matters is I scratched that itch and now I can return to my larger projects. And one day I'll get around to stitching the full pattern.

We had our first snowfall of the season on Sunday so I hunkered down and stitched Krista’s fantastic new design. I didn’t have enough blue floss on hand, so I opted for a green palate because I thought it’d fit my Christmas décor. I wanted to try something new with the hemstitch and tried my hand at the zigzag pattern, but my corners need work. All in all, a great snowy Sunday!

This is such a relaxing and meditative project... and I absolutely love the color scheme!
