I am so horrible.....

At posting to my blog....

As you can tell it has been three months. I thought I was close to finishing my design however, I have decided to add several more elements to it so hopefully I will be able to share it with everyone soon.

I am so excited I have been accepted to participate in the Certified Needlework Appraiser offered thru which will be in June. The assignments include choosing what your appraisal focus will be. I am going to focus on early American and European Samplers. Pretty broad and I will probably narrow it down as I learn more but is a good start. I love early American Samplers and are actually drawn to all old samplers. Another part of the preparation is to evaluate samplers and to visit auctions, estate sales, antique stores, yard sales in pursuit of samplers that might be out there.
