New blogger

Happy Sunday!!!

There's a new blog in the neighborhood
Anna and I have been playing around with the computer this morning
Here is a link to her blog Anna

Please stop by and see what she has been stitching
She also does Hardanger, beautiful!!!!

Now on to regular scheduled stitching

Constuction completed

on house #5 of Hawk Run Hollow

House #6 is going to be a brut with the block being stitched solid, yay!

I had alot of emails about the crushed walnut that I use in my pinkeeps.

I am sorry if I missed a response to anyone.

I buy it at the pet store in the bird dept. The bag last a long, long time.

It keeps your needles sharp and clean

I keep the bag in the deep freeze to kill the eggs or worms or whatever

I have never seen or had a problem with it, but have heard of others who have.

Well, I better scoot.

Anna (no blog) is coming from Madison to stitch and do some finishing tomorrow with me, yay!

Keep your fingers crossed I will have some finished finished products to show

If anyone close by wants to drop in, your more then welcome, just email me or call if you have my number

Happy Stitching!!!!!
