A year or two ago I was working on a piece that I was so excited to finish and frame on hang on the wall to show everyone! But while I was working on this project I totally lost my stitching bug. I mean to the point to where I put all my stitching stuff away and ignored it for months and months. When I decided that I wanted to start stitching again, I could not find that one piece that I was working on. As a matter of fact I could not find the entire bag that it was in. I had lost the chart, the floss, my favorite scissors, a very special needle minder that was made for me, and of course the cross stitching itself that was still on the Q-snap! I searched and searched and could not find it so I gave up and started stitching other things. So, the other day I went searching for something different and I came across the bag!!! I was so excited to have found it. Everything was there! It was a bit dirty but I worked and got it all cleaned up! I found the needle minder that was missing which Dawn had given me as a gift. I found my favorite scissors which I had won from a contest that another stitching blogger was having. My needle book that was also a gift from a special friend from France was there as well. I am not ready to start working on this piece yet, but I am so happy that I have found it and one day I will finish it! So anyway, this is it:
And this is my progress on the piece before I lost it:These are the special items that went missing along with the project:
So anyway, I just had to share that with you all. I did not get any stitching done on my Cross Stitch Collector this week. So there is not reason to show you a pic of her because it is the same as it was in my last post!
I have been working on a card for my step-dad's birthday and this is the progress on it so far.
And finally the Valentine's card that I made for hubby:
And this is the inside:
Well that is all for now! I am going to start trying to make Sunday's my posting day because it is the only time that I ever have to blog! So, I will have more next week!!
Happy Stitching,

Hi Cindy
I have just been browsing through your blog. It is fantastic. I love your eagle cross stitch. I can't wait to see it finished.
Thank you all for your wonderful comments! One day I will have the bug back for the Eagle piece and then I will be able to show more of it off! :)
That is a lot of work to have lost, but I am glad you found it. Great job on all! I once lost a completed stitched ornament that I hadn't finished. It was missing for 3 years. I swore my niece (whom I was making it for) had taken it, but one day, I opened a drawer and there it was!
Great that you found the missing stitching. Lovely valentine card.
Cindy, that is going to be a gorgeous finish when it's done! So glad you pulled it out.
How cool is that litte heart! I love that, it looks Quakerish! My real name is Donna May! My Grandmother was the only who spelled it Donna Mae!
