On Saturday my SIL and I went to Stitches N Things in Davison as she will be moving her shop at the end of the month to a much smaller space. It was kind of sad to see the walls starting to be stripped bare. Ever on the hunt for another cross stitch shop, my SIL heard about The Rocking Horse in Detroit. OMG, I thought I died and went to heaven. That shop was so filled with models, I'll need another trip just to see them all. I'd seen a lot of them before,but what made these so unique was the fantastic framing and finishing jobs on them!! My SIL and I were saying 'Wow' the entire drive home. I'm still in awe. So, if you are ever in the area, I highly recommend stopping by.
Here's a picture of my progress on the Palm tree. It doesn't show very well, but the entire background is filled in with a half-cross. I'm not even a quarter of the way done which is disappointing, but I am pleased with the progress I've made this weekend. I really want to start a Spring piece that I'd found on our Saturday stash run, but I'm trying to be good and finish at least one of my WIPs before starting something new.
Well, Monday is for grocery shopping, laundry, and other mundania so I have to run.

Your WIP looks great! Yes its very hard not to give into the temptation of a new project!
Love the palm tree so far. Can't wait to see the finished picture.
I can't believe you got to go to Stitches N' Things. I do mail order from them and they seem like the nicest people in the world. I wish her all the luck in her new place.
Palms looks great, you've made a lot of headway on it. As to a new one, freebies shouldn't really count as starting a new one, especially if they are small. I think I know a little freebie with chocolate covered cherries just calling your name. :)
