Giveaway

Hello Everyone, I have decided that as soon as I have 100 followers I am having a giveaway. I will stitch something for the winner. Here is how it will work, post a message to this post and tell me if you have a favorite theme or color. If you are already a follower and post you'll have 2 entries, post on your blog and you'll have 3. Be sure to let me know that you posted it. Then if you're a new follower and do the same you'll have 3 entries. I will also send something special to the 100th follower. Also make sure I have a way to contact you. I will draw the winner on Valentines Day. Thanks you all for reading and posting on my blog, love reading everyone's comments. Mary Louise

It's Finished!

I just finished stitching This "Something In Common" called Cabin Fever. I really like the way it came out. Almost hate to give it up, but it has to go to it's new home:) Now I'm going to stitch a LK Flip-it it's an SAL with one of my groups. Decided I needed to do another small piece so I feel like I'm accomplishing something.

Also here is an update on Holly the kitty. She has had lots of health issues but is doing well now and she plays like crazy. The bad part is she likes to play at 2AM!! LOL She did have a surprise last night we had 3 raccoon's fighting on our front porch and one of them came to the window and was looking in at Holly. You could tell by the way she sat there she didn't know what to do. Wish I had a picture of it because it was cute. Anyway here is a picture of Holly from this afternoon.

Small Update

Hello Everyone, I know I have been away from my blog for awhile, both DH and I have had the flu....But finally getting over it. Anyway here is the Biscornu that I stitched for a friend, I found the buttons at Hobby Lobby, the chart was an online freebie,which can be found here. I did change it a little so my buttons would fit.

Thanks for looking, I always enjoy reading your comments.

What Is Going On In My Neck Of the Woods

Really nothing too exciting except for yesterday got a Christmas Gift!! Robert called me from work and says I've got something that you have been wanting and he says guess!! I said a Black Cocker Spaniel?? LOL Nope but you have been wanting a cat, so now I have a kitten named "Holly" since she got here for Christmas. this picture for her isn't too good since she has her eyes closed. S

he does have a bit of infection in her eyes but she is going to the vet Monday evening to get eveything taken care of. Also just a small stitching update, making this Prairie Schooler into a card for our neighbors he is a retired minister.

A Small Finish

Hello Everyone well got a small finish for a coaster exchange. I can post a picture because I know my friend doesn't look at blogs:)

Finally Finished

I have been having computer problems again........seems like that is endless right now. Anyway I finally finished my Little House Needleworks Sampler
I am so pleased with it that I hate to give it up. It belongs to my BFF I may have to stitch this one again for myself at some point.

I have now started on a Dimensions kit called Listen With Your Heart, not my favorite, kits that is

and also a Lanarte kit of a Black Bear With her Cubs which is also a kit but it's for DH a Christmas present

so have to work on it during the week when he is at work and switch back to the other one when he is home.

Also Check This Out with Halloween coming we should all feel a lot safer now with this little guy to protect us.

Our 30th Anniversary Stitching Too

Well as of Monday Robert and I will be married for 30 years, We dated for 6 years before we got married for one we wanted to pay cash for as much stuff as we could. The first picture is of a card my friend Lynn sent us she does all sorts of handmade greeting cards and I can hardly wait for a holiday of some sort to get here so I can see what pretty card she makes for me or Robert. Here's a link to her blog so you can see her wonderful cards BTW she is also a stitcher. The second picture is of us of course on our wedding day. The music I have added is what was played at our wedding and also added one "America" song because on our first date we went to an America Concert, by the way it was a blind date:) Robert was also neighbor that has just moved in across the highway from us, saw him at the mailbox with 2 German Shepards and figured if he had dogs he had to be alright:)) His BF worked with my dad and he told my dad about Robert and that was the start of it all. Still just as happy as we were that day. The the last is the progress I have made on my Little House Needleworks "Spring Beauty" I would be a little further along today with the top section done but decided to make beef stew last night and in doing so tried to add a little of me with it. Almost cut off the tip of my finger. I managed to get the bleeding stopped and bandaged it all by myself, Robert was out mowing and even if I did call his cell phone he would have never heard it.
