in a groove

I'm getting my cross stitch groove on like I haven't in ... sooo so long and I am loving it!  These littles are so quick and easy to stitch up. 

That boot?  Only 1 5/8" tall! 

These will be keeping me busy all weekend ... and taking my mind off our -40 degree weather (which, by the way, is the same in both Celcius and Fahrenheit).

Stay warm!  xo k

They are so very cute. Love them. Can you tell us how many strands of thread you use (2 or 3) and what size count of linen do you like to stitch on. Thanks :)

Oh, these are just too cute! LOVE the boot (now that I have reason to wear them!). And -40! You told me so, huh?! We have been down to -20 the last two nights. WOW! It's COLD! I can't even imagine -40. Stay warm, sweet friend! So glad you have a cute, fun project to keep you inside and cozy! :)

Cute, cute, cute! This weekend I'll stitch and hopefully finish Gingerbread Lane and working on my 12 days of christmas sampler!
And -40? I'm shocked! It's 2° celsius here, cold enough for me;-)
Have a wonderful weekend, Hildy

What are you planning to do with these?

Are you serious about the weather? How do you live? You could do a pistol on that. How many layers do you have on go go outside go get groceries? I'm fascinated. I also adore your cross stitch. Hoping to pick up more of it next year.

I feel your pain fellow Canadian!! I live in Grimshaw Alberta and mano mano is it crazy cold up here. -40 with the wind chill today. I was just looking at the forecast and caught myself being excited that it's gonna "warm" up to -24 this weekend. What is wrong with is picture??

Good idea to stay warm and stitch your heart out!!

Brrrrrrrrr, I am with you in the cold. It is really bad when you pre heat your car and when you get in it; it is still freezing in there. -43C here this morning and its warmer in Churchill.
I love your cross stitch but trying to not love it as I am not wanting to start something new!

Keep your long johns close!

Wow that's cold! I can't imagine temps like that. It doesn't get that cold in Australia. We're about to hit our +40* temps this week.
