Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) What's everyone up to?

Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) I'm not stitching much currently. I usually keep a reasonably sized piece, a big work, and an easier travel project (meaning with few fibers and easier fabrics easily packed to take along). Almost finished all three before cast immobilized me. Ready to start back up and the Nashville market is around the corner with all new stuff.

I think I have my new travel piece in either My Big Toe's new Rejoice or the sexy men when

new patterns

I want to wait for market to pick next regular piece. But for the big project, I may be in the mood for market's new Hawk Run Hollow, whatever big thing Rose Manor comes up with or maybe another mermaid or huge Heaven and Earth piece.

While perusing, one of the Mirabilia groups lee me to "The Viewer" that lets you try Mirabilia, lavender and lace, chatelaine, Joan Elliot and Passione Ricamo patterns on the different specialty fabrics). Use at http://www.thutmosis.net/viewer/viewe... (pick a pattern and then a fabric).

I'm not really fond of chandelier held by new Mirabilia Mermaid which did not stop me from overkill trying out fabrics at the viewer http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?se...

Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) The three huge Heaven and Earth patterns I am debating:

All the bright spring fever colors in butterfly wood

HED Butterfly wood

The colors and design of this owl tree (although I did a lot of owls last year and this pne similar style, if brighter colors than my last big Tapestry project from HED with he William Morris tree stuff)

Owl tree
or one at a time of these roughly 8x27 inches on fabrics I would likely use ladies from the Heaven and Earth Designs Noveau Mermaids series:

HED Noveau mermaids

Not sure if I would want to stitch the backgrounds or find specialty fabrics matching. Anyone run across links of anyone doing that might already have a fabric choice?

[I have bought the patterns but not supplies yet]
