Snow

Greetings from Siberia, all! You might have heard we had just a bit of snow in the Washington, DC area. We live a little south of the Beltway, so we got a bit less--maybe 20 inches. It was quite a storm, but we came through it just fine, with lots of stitching and hot chocolate and no loss of power, for which we are grateful. Now the sun is shining and we're looking forward to being plowed out. I suspect we'll be in for another day as our local roads are impassable. Here's a shot of the house.
For obvious reasons I felt inspired to start "Up on the Rooftop" by The Drawn Thread. I had all the called-for GAST fibers, and I knew I had the called-for Wisper somewhere in my stash, so I went on a dig.
I didn't find the Wisper because I found this chart instead. I started it some time back. This is Miriam Chilvers' Sampler 1833, by Samplers Remembered. I originally started her in 2010--time for her to be off my q-snaps and framed. I don't generally imagine what a frame should look like in advance, but I'm thinking something in the gray blue color of some of the motifs.
Here's a photo of the entire project as it stands. It is photographing lighter and bluer than it is in real life. The lighter blue threads are more of a blue-gray, and the fabric, Lakeside 40 count, probably Lentil, is photographing a light blue as well. Probably the reflection of the snow changing the color of the light.
Here's a close-up of the project.

Here's a shot I took last night with my phone. I've done more since then, but this gives you a better idea of the colors of the fabric and floss.
Here's my stitching cat, Slinky. She loves it when I settle down to stitch and snuggles close. She's a bit camera-shy.
Happy week, all!

Love the snow and the stitching. Slinky sure is a pretty girl.

marly said...

What a difference a phone makes. The colors are great and I think your idea for the frame will really look nice. Hello Slinky.

deb said...

Slinky looks like a sweet girl. And your sampler is lovely.

Lived many years (and a number of big storms) just west of the beltway - glad you came through okay!

Natasha said...

Snow is always more beautiful viewed from inside a warm house with Cocoa LOL

The colors you are using for the Sampler piece, they are so pretty.

Hope your snow melts quickly!!

Jan said...

We spent a few hours digging out the driveway to the street. Luckily both our offices are closed tomorrow. YAY! More stitching time.

Your sampler is a gorgeous piece. Hello Slinky!

Love that sampler! I don't think I've ever seen it before. I knew I could count on you for some Snowzilla stitchy goodness. ;)

Margaret said...

Glad you survived the storm well with power. Whew! We got 10 inches with no real wind -- northern edge of the storm. Love your Miriam Chivers -- so pretty!

The Inspired Stitcher said...

Wow, that's some serious snow. Definitely a good day to stash dive. I did a little of that myself this weekend sans snow though.

Melissa said...

Glad to hear you survived the snowstorm. It was all over the news here.

Love Miriam. I think I bought the chart ages ago because of you!

Slinky is very sweet. I would love it if one of my cats was a snuggler!

Vonna Pfeiffer said...

Your home is very similar in style to ours :)
I think up on the rooftop is the perfect start and what a wonderful sampler you are stitching! I love those gray tones!

Minnie said...

We got one truck dug out the rest can wait, I love the fabric color on the sampler.

Brigitte said...

The post title says it all, Glenna, lol. And what can you do if you do not want to spend the whole days shoveling snow? You stitch.
Great progress on these lovely projects.

RG said...

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! (OK - that's enough now!)

Crafty Green Poet said...

Beautiful stitching! Slinky is a cute cat!

Marjo said...

Pretty colors in that sampler. Love it!

thanida said...

Really caught my fancy! It would be great to be selected to receive a copy of this book!

So proud of your blog, I have been out of touch for a while with so much going on in my life and I was lost because of my illness but I'm stronger and I am here to tell you about a natural remedy that is guaranteed to make you wonder why your doctor didn't tell you about it. Then, on the other hand, it is pretty obvious why your doctor didn't, because that's not his job, is it? But, seriously, promise me you won't get too angry with your health practitioner, it's really not their fault. They can only practice what they're told to practice, right? When your health is at risk there's no time for Tom foolery, you've got to get down to the cause and nip it in the bud. So you've been suffering from painful gout attacks have you? Well, allow me to give you a new perspective on the solution to what plagues you I was once in your shoe until my college friend introduce me to Dr Itua herbal center which cure my hiv/herpes,Lymphedema, after drinking it for two weeks as instructed, Dr Itua is an africa herbal doctor who has natural power to cure all human illness diseases I believe Dr Itua so much because he help me cure my hiv/ herpes which has being my burden in life so I promised Dr Itua that I will testify about his work online after curing me and that is what I'm doing here so please if you are sick from those diseases do not hesitate to write Dr Itua Herbal Center On Email: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Or chat with him on his online store www.drituaherbalcenter.com
