Hot Hot Hot

This is a bookmark I made for my Aunts' Birthday. I was late getting it done as the heat got out of hand. And I don't have AC. I used part of a freebie from Brooks Books, BBinteractive
it is a yahoo group. I have been working on an ATC, which I finished and mailed and 2 exchanges which I have yet to finish. Need to get busy. The heat is supposed to break tomorrow, so I'm hoping for the best.

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.

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.
