I would love to say that I've been stitching non-stop on LHN's Peach Tree Cottage since Saturday. But that just isn't the case. Instead, I've been yearning to crawl into Peach Tree Cottage and rest my eyes. I imagine it's decorated shabby-chic inside, with country touches in every corner and perfectly worn furniture that has a story to tell. I would tuck myself under a heavy quilt in one of the upstairs bedrooms and take a nice, long nap. That's how I've been feeling lately - like I want to shut out the world and sleep. Exhaustion is really no fun, and tackling it when you are the sole care-giver of a two year old until 5:30 every evening is especially no fun. I really need to shake this!
This is all the progress that I've made on Peach Tree Cottage since I started it (barely) Saturday night. Most of this was actually stitched yesterday when I was feeling a little less tired and a little more productive. I am loving this piece. The colors are fantastic and I really love the design. I wish I could force myself to spend more time on it. Maybe I'll get over this lethargy and really get busy with this project! Here's hoping!
You are all making such amazing progress with your projects! Thank you all so much for taking the time to read my amateur stitching blog and post comments and suggestions. I appreciate it more than I can say. You all inspire me so much!

Nice start...I'm with you on the tired thing, I often feel like tired is my middle name! Hope you get some rest :)
I sympathize with you on the exhaustion front! Hope you are feeling perkier soon :)
Oh boy, do I sympathize with the exhaustion issue!! I've been daydreaming about sleep. LOL!
What a great START and just since Saturday too! SUPER ;) this is another of my favorites...aren't they all?!
Oh Kim, I can relate to you about being so tired! At the end of the day when I want to stitch all I can do is go to sleep! Hope you feel better soon! Peachtree cottage is looking great!!
Pear Tree Cottage is looking lovely so far Kim.
Hope you get your batteries recharged and have lots of energy soon.{{{hugs}}}
If you do move into the cottage, please save the spare bedroom for me! : D You've made great progress on it..I love it!
Gianna is having major allergy issues and if she can't sleep, she figures neither should mama!
Great progress so far on Peach Tree Cottage.
your selfish older sister (that two minutes means something!) wants to know when you're going to add her little project to your list of monthly goals? Every month she checks back to see if her little kitty made the list...and every month she comes up empty handed! Sad...
Nice start Kim!
Nice beginning, Kim :) Maybe if you eat some peaches during stitching breaks, it will inspire you to stitch more. LOL Great design for the summertime.

It's looking good. I remember when I was cross stitching. I had a ball. I made so many gifts for people and it was so much fun and they just loved them because it was so personal. Good luck! KC
Great start! :)
Thanks for taking the time to visit me so often, Kim!
It's looking great, Kim!!
I will send the JS chart out to you one day next week :)
I remember those days! It seemed like both my boys wouldn't nap or sleep! Now, I can't wake them up past noon! How time changes! I do miss those times though! Jason will be a senior this year! Jacob a junior. College is just ahead of us!

Nice start on Peach Tree Cottage.
Love the picture of Cuddle Bug in his playhouse - he looks so cute!
Amazing progress; no wonder you're ready for a rest!
A great start and you have made fantastic progress in a short time. Isn't it a wonderful design!
Looking good. We always expect more progress than we can do. Hang in there, it will get better.
kim lovely start on peach tree cottage, I know what it's like to be too tired to stitch! I'm wake right through every night, and sleepy all day long.
Hope you get some energy for stitching soon
