Progress and a Thank You!

Thank you all so very much for your comments on my design. I do hope that you were all very honest with me because if not you will have to be looking at horrible designs coming soon! I do plan to keep going and see where it leads! So, thank you all so very much, you have no idea how you good you made me all feel about it.

I have done a little stitching this week. I got two ATC's made and ready to be mailed so I can not show those until they reach their destination's! I have made some decent progress on WW. I love this pattern, it is so fun to stitch!I am working on getting a LK design ready to stitch for my upcoming exchange! I have the pattern picked out, which will be one of LK's freebies but not sure how I will be finishing it yet.

My husband and son had a fun Saturday. My DH is wanting to learn to make handmade bows. He don't really have any of the tools or anything but he decided that he would make DS a bow and just have a good time. The finished product turned out pretty good! DS loves it! Hubby even found a stick to make an "arrow".Now it is time for a laugh. I was looking through some of my fabric that I don't get into very often and come across something pretty funny! I found my very first cross stitch item! LOL, it is totally awful! None of my stitches went in the right direction or anything. I have seen many people stitch something for the first time and it look pretty great, but not this!! I TRIED to teach myself and did not have anyone around that knew anything about cross stitch and so that is my excuse! LOL Anyway, here it is, please don't laugh to hard!I want to wish all of those who celebrate Memorial Day here in the US a wonderful and Blessed day. If you plan to travel any, please stay safe! Just remember all those brave men and women who have served for this country!

I pray that you all have a wonderful and Blessed weekend and week!

Happy Stitching,

I Don't Look To Good!

Well my Saturday started off as a really nice day. It was nice and cool out and raining and we need rain so badly and I just love those rainy days. I had to work until noon but did not mind as the bosses were out of town! LOL I took my stitching with me and was prepared to enjoy a nice and slow Saturday morning at work stitching and watching HULU. All was going well until I remembered that the window were not all the way up on the car and the rain was getting heavy. So I took off outside and on my way back in my feet went right out from under me and I hit the floor! HARD!! My entire left side is sore and bruised up. I hit the left side of my face on the concrete and my head bounced . . . I think! I thought that it broke my glasses but luckily I was able to bend them back without breaking them. So anyway, I am not looking to good right now but it could look a lot worse. So I was not able to finish the movie I was watching and stitching just did not go well after that. But I am good now, a bit sore but nothing I can not deal with.

I want to thank all of my dear friends here who sent well wishes and prayers for my mom and my dad. My mom is doing well now and thank God, everything is back on track with her heart. My dad is still awaiting some test results, so please continue to pray for him.

I did get a bit of stitching done this week! A very dear friend of mine celebrated her birthday Thursday so of course I stitched her a little something. Here it is stitched and then framed.


Here is my progress on WestWinds. I would have gotten even more done on this if I would not have taken that fall Saturday morning! But oh well!I want to say a special thank you to Marige! She has given me an award and this is actually the second time that it has been awarded to me. So, Margie since I have already received it once I will not pass it on this time but want you to know how much it means to me that you thought of me for this very special award.

Well, I think that is about all for me at this time. I hope that you all are having a wonderful weekend and that you have a fantastic week as well!!

Happy Stitching,

Busy but Good Week!

First of all I want to thank everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes! I had a great birthday!I have not been thanking everyone for their comments by email because I have just realized that half of them don't even get to where they are suppose to go! So, I will just thank you all right here! You are all such wonderful friends and I really love all the comments that you leave, they truly mean a lot to me!!!

It is the Totally Useless SAL update time! Make sure and check out the link to this SAL, because it is not like most SAL's! This is different, creative and just great!!! Anyway, here is my update!I received my package from Sharon! I won this giveaway a few weeks ago and actually received this package on my birthday, so that was exciting!!! I love it all! The fabrics are fantastic!! I just love them both and the hand dyed floss is beautiful. I was really excited to see the pattern as it is Lizzie Kate! I love Lizzie Kate and I just joined the Lizzie Kate exchange, so this just adds to my patterns that I will be able to stitch up for this exchange! Thank you so very much Sharon!!!!

I did get a bit more done on Wedding Spots! I love the way this is turning out and I can not wait to finish it and surprise my brother and new wife with it. I know that he will not be expecting anything from me and especially something hand made, so I am excited!

I have also started WestWinds! I just love this design! I have not done much on it, but I have started the tree trunk anyway!I have almost received all of my ATC's from the WOCS ATC birthday exchange. Once I receive them all, I will post more pics! Don't forget to check out the new ATC birthday Exchange that I have started! Remember these things are very quick to stitch and put together and the best part is they are lots of fun!!! The sign ups for this exchange will close on May 1st, so if you are thinking about joining, just go for it!!!!!

Well that is about it for now! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!
