Camera Back From Vacation

Better Homes and Gardens-Cross Stitch Christmas 2002

I changed the dress colors from Aqua Greens to Purples.

I made this ornament as a rememberence for my Great Niece Katie Hopson-15 years old

She died last month after suffering a seizure. She was developmentally challenged and loved the color purple and angels.

First Exchange Received !!

I received the prettiest pinkeep today. There was a piece of linen as an extra. I hope my partner is as pleased as I am.

New Blogs

Well, I just joined two new blogs. ATC birthday Blog and RAOK. I also just mailed my first exchange. HIP HIP HORRAY! Only a week late. I am stitching on an ornament for the 2009 ornament exchange blog. I would put up pics but my son has my camera until late this week. He is on vacation in AZ. Until later,

HAPPINESS IS A WARM COOKIE AND SOMEONE TO SHARE IT WITH. kjr

My entry into Nina's Giveaway!

I don't have as many as Nina but I do have a few. Received the large stork and stork with chinese fob from my mom's estate. The others I collected.

Half Finished!

Well, I finished the main stitching on my biscornu, but the putting together is really going slowly. Having trouble with the corners. Started a swap piece today, of course can't say who it is for and what it is. Had to rethink my choice when I found out who my partner was and what she did and didn't like. Not a bad thing, now I have to stitch out of my comfort zone. Really a GOOD thing. I need to deviate(sp) once in a while. Would really like to put it on linen but no can do with my eyes. 18ct will have to do.

Happy Easter

Stitching update

This is a new project I started and have almost finished. It is going to be a pinkeep. I got the pattern from a Better Homes and Gardens sampler book and designed the border myself. I have made a little progress on the Baby Express. I just needed a break for a couple of days.
