WIP January Challenge Day 5

Eighteen years ago today I was in my bridal gown kicking up my antique ivory heels at my Wedding reception. Although my husband and I aren't physically in the same city today (as he is working away for only another 2 weeks), we were able to spend a lovely weekend together reminiscing over our marriage. How life is so different than that day 18 years ago - mostly because of the arrival of 3x little beings.  I wouldn't change anything for the world! A friend did this montage below today and posted it on my Facebook page. Isn't it sweet?

Day 5 saw me busy stitching a new project - Anett Eriksson's Passion for Stitching "Chateau" cushion cover.  I stitched "T" in the word chateau.  I have never stitched on hessian before but it wasn't too hard although I have to just accept that the stitches will never be even. This sampler is meant to just be stitched in half cross stitch but I couldn't get the stitches to cover the hessian enough so I am doing it in normal cross stitch.

I have loved reading your comments during my WIP January Challenge. They inspire me to keep going!

Happy January Stitching!
