Hello Everyone I stitched this a long time ago and I am trying to find this ornament hangers that I stitched this on. It was from Jeremiah Junction, great for me I am not much for finish work but to me this is just perfect. Do any of you make this sort of thing? I am willing to pay.<br />
<br />
I haven't posted in ages but will soon, I have been busy stitching:)<br />

<span style="text-align: start;"> </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: start;">Hello Everyone, I can't believe that it has been a year since I posted. I have had the large sampler done for quite some time but just finally got around to washing and pressing it. I took the pictures with my cell phone and neither one is that great. I need batteries for my camera and I will try and get better pictures. the first sampler is the Brenda Keys sampler that I mentioned in my last post. The next one is a Lila Studio and my current project. I also noticed that poor old Tip our outdoor cat didn't have a picture on my blog and that isn't quite </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">fair is it? He is such a pretty cat, at least I think so.</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: start;">. I am planning on doing something small before I get into the next large project.</span></div>

It was fun to stitch and went fast. I did this for a friend that has cancer now all I have to do is get it framed. Now I have moved onto a Brenda Scott Keyes House On The Hill Sampler. This one is really going to take some time because it is quiet large, here is a picture of it from her site <a href="http://www.thesamplercompany.com/store/WsDefault.asp">Brenda Keys</a> I love all of her charts and can't decide which one I like the best??;) For my next sampler. <br />
<br />
Hope you all are having a good Memorial Day and please thank a veteran today. I thank my DH he is retired Air Force.<br />
<br />

Very windy the last 2 days here but at least warm:) I have been doing some stitching, first I stitched a sampler, it was a free chart that can be found here <a href="http://lesmarottesdenath.free.fr/index.php?cat=2">The Way To Happiness</a> I did make some changes, at the top there is supposed to be back stitching between the butterflies, but I just didn't like the way it was coming out. I also changed some of the colors of the floss in the lettering, the floss called for wasn't working on the lambswool fabric. Then I stitched a LHN Sheep Virtue I know I have been slow in my stitching but it has picked up now, I'm working on another sampler from Prairie Schooler Garden Samplers book number 45 it's an OOP chart that I have had for quite sometime. At the moment not much to see but will post a picture of it soon, I will not let as much time go by as I have since my last post.<br />

DH has been sick off and on, mainly kidney stones......But he now has a new doctor and so far he seems to be better.<br />
<br />
We spent our day at Turkey Run State Park Inn for our Christmas meal. I just have the one picture of the Inn, we were going to get some others of the area but it was just too darn cold. After we left there we went and spent the late afternoon with our neighbors. They gave us some really nice gifts, Ann made some granola, blue cheese salad dressing (you can't beat homemade on that one) also homemade fruitcake which is really good too. The bad part is I <b>HAVE </b>to be the one that eats this because DH won't eat this sort of thing. But I will make the sacrifice ....LOL<br />
<br />
Stitching wise I have gotten quite a bit done on my Prairie Schooler Christmas Village, at least I think I have?? I am putting it aside right now and going to go back and finish a sampler that was a freebie on a French site. No picture as of yet of it I am waiting on the floss to start a picture of paint horses for our groomer. I have plans to give it to her for next Christmas. We will see........<br />

Wow time has really flown! I can't believe that its been so long since I last posted. I have been stitching on Prairie Schooler Christmas Village, I was having problems and had ripped out little trees it seemed like a million trees, just to find out the border was what was off!! Ripped trees for no reason other than one that the border had the placement for the tree in the wrong place......... As you can see I have made a little progress.<br />

Finished an ornament too, now all I have to do is really finish it! LOL Not my favorite part:)) The ornament was stitched on a Silkweaver fabric that my friend Ruthie sent to me. It didn't say what the color was but it's 28 count and the picture isn't doing it justice.<br />

Yesterday was Holly's first year with us, it has been a fun year she it a great little cat. She loves to be held but like all cats wants her alone time too. If you stop and think about it cats are sort of like people we need to have quiet times too. I took this picture of her this morning and had a hard time getting her to look at me. Birds on the feeder are a lot more interesting aren't they? LOL<br />

<br />
Well today our temperatures are finally in the 30's at night and 40's Fahrenheit during the day, we have had to have a fire in the mornings. Robert cut wood on Monday, Columbus Day for our winter fires, I hate the thought of it. We heat with wood and it certainly is warm but the older we get the harder it is to get the wood in. We have been having fun with our new little dog Daughty, yes that is the way her name is spelled but we call her Dot. She is getting along pretty well with our cat Holly and Tip our other cat is tolerating her he just gives us a look like well if I must.....<br />
<br />
I made a pumpkin biscornu for a Holloween exchange, it was a fun stitch and my exchange partner, Jennifer says she really likes it:) This chart came from <a href="http://theflossbox.com/">http://theflossbox.com</a><br />

The family that has her now is moving and can't take her with them. We pick her up on Saturday, her name is Dotty and she is full of Vim and Vigor that is for sure. She may run these two old people into the ground!! LOL The only problem we may have is will she get along with our cats. Holly has been around a dog so I don't think she will have a problem with Dotty other than Dotty wanting to play all the time. Tip is outside by choice and he can vaporize rather quickly. Anyway here is her picture <br />

Spent yesterday with my BFF at Rockville, Indiana. We went to an Amish Bulk Food Store bad for me because I had to have a loaf of banana bread, at least it's was a small loaf:) I also purchased what is called Butter Cheese, this cheese is to die for and some German Bologna We then went to an Amish Variety Store and they have loads of stuff, from pots and pans, dishes, just a little bit of everything. I would have loved to have a lot of things there but had to hold off for right now. We did get to see the Amish in the field taking corn stalks for silage. It was really interesting because they were using 2 teams of mules and had to keep them right along side of each other. Wish I had some pictures of this but couldn't sneak any in that they wouldn't have known that I was taking their picture.<br />
<br />
Stitching wise I am working on an exchange piece so can't show it right now, last night Mr Frog visited and slowed the progress down:(<br />
<br />
In case you didn't see my updated post about my giveaway, the winners are....<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
Well here is a picture of my progress for this months SWAT. I would have been further along if someone hadn't decided that I was in desperate need of her help!! Miss Holly thinks she needs to play with floss bobbins and full skeins of floss she will be a year old soon and has never done this before. I think that maybe aliens have taken over her brain? the picture isn't that great because I took it with my cell phone but you can get the idea of my progress.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have decided I will lay it aside for a week and start my Blackbird Designs, Sunflower House. the floss and fabric are for Sunflower House the fabric is an R&R Reproductions Friendship Blue that i was lucky enough to get from Ebay as its a discontined color. My friend Ruthie purchased it for me fro my birthday</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First is my progress picture of Paula Vaughn then my next project Sunflower House and last but not least a picture of my stitching helper.</div>

Hello All this isn't the best picture, the fabric is actually white but this is my progress so far on Holiday Village by Dimensions. Once I got a good start on it it's much easier now. Thanks for looking and believe me I need encouragement! LOL<div>

Hello Everyone, It's taken me awhile on the Halloweenies, Frog was around and I ripped and ripped some more! LOL One little dog was on the fabric and off the fabric about a million times. Now I have to make up my mind if I am going to make a pillow out of it or get it framed?? <br />

Next I stitched a square on a round robin belonging to my friend Debi. Something totally different from what I would stitch, it is really pretty and was fun to stitch to me it looks like stained glass.<br />
<br />
Next is a Biscornu for an exchange, so more later:) and hopefully a picture soon of the finished biscornu.<br />

Thanks for all of your nice comments.<br />

Hi Everyone well this is just a small update I have been working on Plumstreet Samplers Halloweenies really cute and I love the colors, Gentle Arts threads, the only problem is I needed 2 skeins of Raven I called the LNS that I buy from and they're out so will have to wait for a few days to get my skein of floss, so if anyone is planning on stitching this one be sure and buy 2 skeins of Raven. I will in the meantime go back to my Prairie Schooler Christmas Village.<br />

I know it's been like forever since I have posted anything to my blog. Lazy I guess but not really too much to say other than Indiana is hot and dry and not much going on other than that.

Hi Everyone, Bent Creek is at the framer and will be ready to pick up on May 2ed. The little rabbit is a Prairie Schooler design that I did for my giveaway. I have started a Lizze Kate "A Good Marriage". I have about 4 stitches done on it:) Don't think it will be as fast as the Bent Creek.<br />

I finish my giveaway piece and will get it into the mail to Faith hopefully in the morning if not then on Monday then I can post a picture of it:)
I just started stitching this afternoon on Bent Creek "Neighborhood Row" Just a little done but I can tell it's going to be fun to stitch. I have been stitching and listening to the yellow finches sing. It is so nice to hear them again.

I finished stitching and have sent my little gift to my winner Sandy:) She says she really likes it. The picture isn't the best because I had used my cell phone. I am working on my second piece for my other winner.
Hope you're all doing well, I am really having an awful time getting used to the time change. every morning I am just dragging.....I'll probably get used to it once we get ready to fall back!! LOL anyway I guess I'll get back to my stitching.
Thanks for reading and all of your nice comments.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
