Here's my very first 40 count gauze finish. I wish I were a better photographer. It really was a lot of fun and quite easy...just the tent stitch (half cross stitch). The finished piece is 2 X 1.25 inches. 
And whoo-hoo for me!! I have finished the back of my very first garment. It's going to be a knitted vest...and a very stylish one I might add. Some of my first accomplishments were reading a garment pattern, doing some shaping at the garment waist, and armhole / neck shaping. I'm so proud of myself. Now on to the left and front sides. Fun.fun.fun.Today is another chilly day in Florida...good for stitching and knitting inside. This weekend it should warm up into the 70's and I'm looking forward to opening up the house for some fresh air!
My house renovation is complete inside and out but I'm waiting for some new furniture. As soon as it shows up I'll get some new pics posted. It is lovely and I'm really enjoying these hardwood floors. My new best bud is the Swiffer Sweeper Vac...in fact I have two!!
Now on to more stitching on Charlotte Clayton. I'm just about finished with the dog in the center!! Pics soon of that one too.

Oh wow! I love your silk gauze piece! Beautiful!!! And your knitting is great too -- can't wait to see more of that project! I bet those hardwood floors are gorgeous -- I love hardwood floors! I'll wait with baited breath to see your new renovation and your Charlotte. I love Charlotte -- it's still one of my favorite stitches!
The fact that you have 2, count them, 2 Swiffer vacuums is testament that you are our mother's daughter...I'm not far behind and I'll bet that Miss Smarty is ahead of me...

I LOVE your silk gauze piece. Okay...I'm going to HAVE to get mine out now! Too fun! And I LOVE the vest! You are just keeping busy busy... I went last night and purchased me a little portable heater...tired of being cold in the bathroom in the morning! So tired of the cold weather! I hope the furniture comes soon...our trip is only 3 weeks away! :) XOXO
