I've always said I don't like the prim designs....but then I found some of the European designers (namely, The Primitive Hare and Giulia Manfredini, plus a few others), and I absolutely loved their use of color and design. As I've mentioned in the past, colors get me every time! So I was in Joann Fabric over the weekend, and this followed me home...
And while I still need to get the little zombie girl finished, I also just had to start something new.
Little House Needleworks' "Hot Cocoa," on a piece of natural 32-ct. linen. The white DOES show up better IRL - although it was charted for ecru and I swapped in white, since my fabric is a bit more tan than the one used in the model. (I actually started this twice, because my first choice - a 28-ct. homespun shade - was way too light, and even the brighter white barely showed.)
Obviously the time of year when I get startitis is approaching - cold weather makes me want to curl up and stitch 24/7, and plot new projects.

Hot Cocoa is looking good. It was a fun stitch! Have you ever stitch on Vintage Country Mocha linen? Whites and creams show up well on it. Off to check out that magazine!
I think our tastes change - and Prim now is so much more interesting than Prim of the 1990's - just saying!
I just bought a prim design recently too. I think they've brainwashed us! ;)
