Are you familiar with the Sampler Pears on the Samplers and Santas blog? They're neat little designs and this afternoon I started stitching the first one. I'm using 28-count Country French Latte and a skein of Needle Necessities floss that I found in my stash. The chart calls for five different DMC colors, but when I went to pull them from the floss box, I could only find two of the colors. I assume that the others are probably kitted up somewhere, so, lacking the initiative to dig through everything to find them, I went stash diving and came up with a nice, gently shaded NN.
Not much else is going on here. Happy stitching, everyone!

Lovely spring stitching! I love Marly's pears too and plan to stitch them this year. Great color with the Needle Necessities thread, I miss that line of thread.
Isn't it nice to have a day like that at home! Your stitching is beautiful. I love the PS piece.
Love how your sampler pear is coming. Love your spring sampler progress too! Lucky you that it was warm enough to open windows! It's warmer here, but not that warm.
The floss you chose for your pear is very pretty. I like your spring sampler also. I recognize it as a Prairie Schooler one. I recently finished one of their spring ones as well. :)
Love the NN thread choice for the pear design! And your spring piece is looking lovely as well.
