I sent this to Bonnie, and now that she has received it I can post. It was a really fun stitch. Finished it as an ornament. Hope you enjoy it.

I got an Award!!!

I received this from Marie
Thank you Very Much!!!!


Now I have to nominate 7 more blogs for this award. This is going to be hard as Marie and I share some of the same likes as far as blogs go. Here goes Coni , Megan, Tanya, Gaynor,
Paulette, The Lone Beader, Cindy Mae.

Ok, now you need to nominate 7 people, leave a comment on their blogs, link to them in your post and add a link to the person that nominated you.

I think that about covers it. I am very honored to be nominated. Thank you again.

I have added a new feature!!

I have added a box to let followers and visitors get my own designs. These designs are simple. I have just started. I like simple things. Easy to stitch and with colors that can be changed by the person stitching them, to fit their style. I hope you enjoy what I have to offer. I have not stitched this current design, as I am just trying to get this started. I have included in the file a picture of the finished piece, as it would look stitched.

RAK received!

I traded a pattern with Gaynor in Ireland. I sent this needlebook as well. I included some pins for counting and some large corsage pins for frogging. The book is on top of the backing fabric.

Totally Useless Stitch A Long

This is Junes entry into the TUSAL. As you can see I have been busy this last month. Bit and pieces from a couple of Exchanges I have already posted and 2 that I have not. Waiting to mail.

Shake Rattle and Roll

ExchangeSent and received

This is the ATC I sent to Janet in Malaysia for her birthday. I also sent some receipe cards that were in the same colors. I have started on my second ATC to send to Marie in Australia for August. Glad you liked it.

On a Happier Front

The happy family. Lee never smiles for the camera. Cayden is now 5 months old and cooing and trying to crawl. Kristie is a great Mom!!!

More Sad News

Found out today that my Aunt Helen, who has a mastecomy in 2007, now has cancer returned in her bones. She is in alot of pain. She has been in a wheel chair since July 2007 as she fell and broke her knee and hasn't been able to walk since. She was born with MD and could walk small distances at a time before the fall with a walker. Now she is chair bound. I love her very much and miss her. I have not been able to return to AZ to visit since I came home in 2008. All my LOVE Helen.

CRAZY WEATHER!!!

The weather has been really wierd. Rain in California, in June? And for the last 4 days? I don't mind, but, this is just WIERD!. I have not been stitching much. I am helping the kids get ready for a Complex Wide Yard Sale. All the tenants are going to have tables and make a day of it. I also took a tumble while trying to corral the landlords dog. Bruised and a bit sore but I will mend. Worst part is I cracked a rib. The landlords dog got out when I went through the gate, and she had just had surgery on her broken arm, so I was trying to be nice. I hope to post a finish sometime tomorrow, of my June ornie. Later, Keep stitching, Keep smiling and always remember to ENJOY.

Exchange for Maru

This is what I sent to Maru in Mexico. Also included some wizard buttons, ribbon and floss rings.

Sure was fun making this. Looking forward to the Just Nan Exchange.

Mary Whigham SAL

I am going to try and stitch the Mary Wigham SAL. I am hoping for the best. Sometimes my life gets a little hectic. I also have several exchanges in the next couple of months.

Great Give Away!

Go over to Melissas blog. She is having a great giveaway.

I got the most fantastic package from Maru in Mexico. She stitched a scissor case and fob. The Scissor Case has a delicate turquoise and purple design. The Fob has a little dragon and flower. There was a nice new pair of stork scissors attached. She also sent a sewing kit, in a great tin, from Gutermann's. Several skeins of turquoise and purple floss and a cute angel note pad.

Thank you Maru for a great exchange.
