January 6,2010



It's PIF time again! Carol from Tennessee started this run and Gill http://gillsstitching.blogspot.com/ was one of lucky ones that have been chosen by Jade to continue with this! Thank you Jade http://jadestitch.blogspot.com/  I won a PIF from Gill

Now it is my turn.

To join in, all you have to do is leave a comment on my blog entry saying you wish to participate. If there are lots of candidates, I will draw three names from a hat to pick the winners. They will then post a PIF entry on their blog and post this logo as well, to continue the PIF.

The three people will then get a small, hand-made gift from me within one year. In return, they too will have to gift the winners they have chosen. And so on, and so on. This is how we stitching bloggers spread the love we put into our projects.

So, if you want to participate, please leave a comment on this Blog, or add yourself as a follower, I will choose the winners on Jan 31
Happy Stitching

Exchange Stitching And Coca Cola Santa Update


Well I finally finished my exchange stitching, I am really pleased with the results on these.  I can post these pictures because these ladies have not got a clue that they're getting anything:0)  Also I did get to stitch a little on my Coca Cola Santa too.  So here are all the pictures of my latest:0)  I am also getting ready to do a SAL Better Homes & Gardens Stockings.  Also I have to decide what I am going to work on next for my friend that I stitch for all the time.  I have plenty to choose from that is for sure.

Exchange Ornament & Ramblings

Hello Everyone,  Getting closer to Christmas now and of course I still have a lot of things I would like to do but know that it will never get done.  It sort of reminds me of the movie " Christmas Vacation"  And the Dad is trying to make everything perfect and his Wife tells him, you always build up in your mind what the perfect Christmas is and of course no one can get there.  So might just as well relax and go with the flow.


The ornament that I did was for one of my yahoo group exchanges it's in its new home so can now post a picture of it.  The big thing is I finished it myself and that is a feat for me to do.  I am just not to good at it.  Could be like I said setting up high expectations again?? LOL  I will say I was pleased with the way it came out though. It is a Prairie Schooler ornament from the Santa & Snowman leaflet.

Hello Everyone, I know that it has been a long time since I have updated my blog.  I have been busy stitching my little heart out and also I have been having computer problems.  I have so many pictures that my hardrive is almost full!!  I was going to move what I have onto a DVD but.............Easier said than done, HP computers have compatibility issues with certain DVD brands other than their own and Sony:0)  Makes me mad but what can I do about it?? 

Well back to the stitching  I have finished 2 small pieces but those 2 are for exchanges so as soon as they're in their new home I will post pictures of them. I have finished my Nephews Wedding Sampler.  It's a Cedar Hill chart called "Faith, Hope, Love and The Greatest Of These Is Love".  I added their names and date of the wedding to it.  I am going to see if I can find some charms to put on either side of the names.

Coca Cola Santa


Hello Everyone well I am finally doing an update of my Santa.  I scanned it because I had to rob the batteries from my camera for my mouse.  The bad part is this scanner is new to me and I am having problems getting quality scans from it.  I will get batteries next week so I can take pictures again.  I will say that I was thinking it wasn't looking like much stitching wise until I saw the picture and now I can see the shape of Santa's hat.  It took me long enough to get this far that is for sure.

Also I have been having blog problems and can't use the really nice backgrounds.  Hope I can get this resolved soon.
