HOHRH and vacation

Thank you all, dear stitching friends, for your nice comments on my Mystery XI. I am still beading, and it is almost, almost finished! I think I'm going to make it before May 1st, and in that case I reached my goal, and you helped me to reach it, by being such good cheerleaders!
In the meanwhile I have some other things to share. At first a picture of the second price I won at ILCS , stitching a bourse. It was sent to me some weeks ago, but I realized I never put a picture of it in my blog, sorry!

Second a picture of my progress at the Houses of Hawk Run Hollow. I am stitching this in between, and already way behind on schedual, but in fact I don't care. I will take it with me on vacation next week, so maybe I will catch up a little bit. Anyway, the first house is up!

This will be the last post for more than a week, because we will leave for a week's vacation next saturday. And as you all know, before a woman can leave the house it must be clean and tidy. And I have to pack for the four of us. As I said I will take the HOHRH with me, and my HAED stitching. Maybe something small too, to work on during the car-ride. We rented a little house in Germany, near Trier. We have been there before, and until now I didn't find a needleworkshop, so I have to be prepared well! No stash-buying, and I have to be sure to have everything I need in my stitchingbag.
So, see you girls again at the beginning of May, starting a new month, and a new Chatelaine!
