Finally a Happy Dance!!!

Finished Houses of the Moons by Maggie Co's Village from Jardin Prieve'. It is for my DIL's birthday on the 31st. Will show a pic when I get it framed.

I have been RAK'd

Received this pattern from friend. She and I know each other through a yahoo group and Facebook.
9x13 when finished. 90 colors. OMG
Hope to start sometime late this year.
This is a Heaven and Earth Design, called Crystal of Enchantment.

Valentine Swap

This is what I sent to Kadra. I also included a pouch, chocolate and some other things. I forgot to take a picture of the other things. Such is life.  edit: I was able to get a pic of all the items off  Kadra's blog. I designed the heart to be simple and remind me of an old fashioned valentine. I had to include the blue bird of happiness. The "beads" are pins for counting and the Pearl is a large pin that I use for frogging.

These are the goodies I received from Jill. The chocolate was delish. 

This is the most delicate stitching I have seen in a long time. She made an envelope of  felt and then made a really cute pin cushion to put inside. I also found a nice envelope with three charms. Two fairies and a dragon. All my favorites.

Thank you Marsha for organizing this great exchange.

Valentine Swap!!!

I received the cutest and nicest swap today. I will post pics tomorrow. Thank you, Jill from California.

Need more time!!!

Haven't had any time to stitch since Tuesday. I have been taking care of my 3yr old grandson and he is fun but tiring my out. All I want to do after my son gets home is crash. Then I am up early to start all over again. My DIL will be off starting tomorrow and I hope to have this weekend to stitch. Wish me luck.

Dragon Roll Part 2

This is the second start on Dragon Roll.
I used a piece of fabric that was too small.
This one is in Caron Waterlilies Silk and Krenik Silk Mori
I prefer the Caron silk. I am waiting for the 3rd part and then will add the beads.

IHSW !!!

Mystery Dragon Needle roll by Saolya.

This is what I was working on this last weekend. I didn't get much done as I ended up taking care of the Grandson both days. I have developed a cold so I am somewhat miserable. I am starting over on the dragon as well as I placed it on the fabric wrong and ran out of room on the right side. I won't be able to finish him with the full pattern, but, I will make him into something else.
