Hello everyone, thanks Vonna for letting me join this! I am Shari, I live in Covington, KY. I just love cross stitch and like to stitch every night before bed. I have been working on the CCN Cottages since I discovered them in June, so I'm about half-way now. I have not really been working on them in exact order, just as I have the floss for them. I need to make a new floss run this coming weekend! Here is what I have so far:

I am stitching on 14ct white aida, so I have had to make a few changes. I did June first and couldn't use white for the cottage so my daughter chose this coral pink for me. I'm using DMC. My favorite change is in the month of April, my daughter's birth month, she is named Robin so I changed the bluebirds to Robins!
