MOTHER'S DAY

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL

YAHOOOOOO!!!!!

I have reached 51 followers. I need to have a give away. I don't have anything in mind at the moment but will think on it this weekend and post the give away next week. Thank you to all of my followers. I know I don't post very often but life with a 18 month old is crazy at times. He is my grandson.

A friend of mine whom I do computer work for, online, had a stroke on Thursday evening. He is only 65. I have been a bit addled since. I would go to CA if I could but with only 1 car and the kids need to get to college, it just isn't possible. Please keep him and his family in your prayers.

Until later, Keep stitching, Keep smiling and always remember to ENJOY!!!

Just Nan RR- This is what it looked like when I got it.

This is what I put in.

This is what it looks like now.

RAK by Stitcher's Anon

Stitcher's Anon says:

I am now hosting my second RAK for this year, to be given away some time in April -June. I am hosting four in total to repay a few PIFs I have been lucky enough to be chosen for.

You will receive stitchy and/or knitty items according to who wins, as well as some hand made items from me and whatever goodies I decide to add to your parcel!

All YOU have to do is say which your prefer as your main RAK Gift: knitty or stitchy, AND post about this giveaway in a little place somewhere on your blog.
If you are a follower you will be entered twice. And that is all because more will just confuse me. I am easily confused.

February Ornament and TUSAL update

Not much done this month as I have had a really bad cold, more like the flu, it has hung on for about 3 weeks now. I still can't hear out of my right ear. But I can breath again! This is my TUSAL update for February. A little late as I have been sick. Still not 100%. Not much progress either as I haven't been able to stitch much.
This is my February Ornament for the 2010 Ornament Challenge. Will finish them all at once. I am going to add beads in the open stitches in the pink ruffle.

Great Give Away!!!

Pauline is have a give away to celebrate her 15th Wedding Anniversary!!

It's my 15th wedding annivesary tomorrow, so I'm having a giveaway to celebrate!I've had a quick look through Jill Oxton's Cross Stitch & Bead Weaving magazine but the design I like the most is way too hard for me to stitch- I know my limits! So I'm giving issue 79 away. I think I bought it in November last year. It has some 'beading' designs that can be cross stitched instead, as well as a gorgeous Hardanger chart for a biscornu, scissor fob, needle book and thread bag.

Current WIP

Just Nan RR

I stitched the cushion/eyelets above the green leaves and have 1 more row after.
