Weekend Stitchiness

This week has been a definitely winterish week.  We had ice on Monday and Tuesday and the Thursday night, the snow started and we got 5-7 inches which is very rare for north Texas. It is mostly melted today.  Now we're expecting thunderstorms on Tuesday and possibly more snow on Wednesday.  Crazy weather!

I achieved my goal of finishing the border on my Sunflower Sampler!

I got some more work done on my Lights of Advent.  The purple is darker than it looks in the model.  I used the silk.  I'm wondering if the model used the DMC alternatives???  You would think you'd model it with the silk if it's "preferred."  It almost looks black in the picture.
