Reintroducing Myself

I joined this blog back in February of 2012 and have been posting off and on since then, but with the start of the SBCC, I thought I should reintroduce myself.  My name is Susan and I live in central Virginia with The Hubs and three cats who would gladly move in with any of you if you would agree to worship the ground they walk onbe at their constant beck and calltreat them like Gods keep them in a manner that they feel they should be.  Instead of redoing my first post, here's the link to it:  http://chatelainestitchers.blogspot.com/2012/02/new.html.  I haven't finished a Chatelaine since that post, but have been working on several of them.  I am currently working on Serengeti but with a  little coaxing from others, I think I will replace it with Secret Victorian Garden in the rotation in an attempt to change the no finish statement.  I did post what I thought was the most current photo of my progress a week or so ago, but I found a newer one it is really nice to see that I am further along than I thought I was:


I am stitching this on Silkweaver's Carol's Meadow with the recommended materials.  Unlike now, I did not bead this as I went along so lots and lots of beading is in my future.
