Woohoo!! Peacock Sampler is finished

Hello!

I stitched and stitched last night and finally finished it. I need to find a frame, maybe something with a touch of gold.

The Peacock Sampler by Goode Huswife

stitched on a mystery cream with VC silks.

Next up is my BOAF, so watch for another finish soon.

I just had to grab my camera when I seen this. I didn't think this would ever happen, but it did and I have proof

taaada!!!

What's so unusual about this picture????

The kitty queen let Brianna get that close to her, I just couldn't believe my eyes when I walked in and seen Brianna had crawled up on my lounger, in a matter of seconds, lol. She did get to touch her, just a wee lil bit. Smidget ususally hides downstairs when she is over and we don't catch a glimpse of her till Brianna is gone.

Here's a pic looking out that big window, NO snow as of yet :(

This is where I am as of this afternoon with White Christmas. I know I am going to try to finish it as my first flatfold. Wish me luck

Can someone help me with this pattern? I found it in an old Bible I don't use. I believe it came from a magazine, I just don't remember. I don't have enough material on the edges to work with, so I might just add a piece of felt to finish it off.

Don't forget to enter for the drawing on the next post down.

Don't forget to floss!!!

Happy Stitching!!

Fabulous Friday giveaway

I really have not had time to stitch. I did get my roof blowed off and the leaves cleaned up and the outdoor Christmas decor out, hoooray!!! and besides getting my new header name and nobody else has it, I am feeling pretty darn good :) Thanks for all the comments about it.

A little sparkle in my sparkle

What did I do this past weekend?

This is what I finished

When Witches Go Riding by The Prairie Schooler

I did this little freebie in just a few short hours, can be found Here

The photo looks a little funkie, with a faded sparkle, but really it looks nice. I used one strand dmc and one strand Krninik blending filament. I wished it would have come out like it looks in real life, lol

I am in a hurry just look at how crooked the PS is, lol, not to point it out or anything,lol.

I have BBD finished, now I just have to dig out my Christmas fabric, so I can finish a few.

And here is the last one I started before heading off to bed. I will leave it as a little teaser for now

I hope you all have a great start of the week

Happy Stitching

Warm Winter Wishes

I finally finished Warm Winter Wishes by Waxing Moon into a pinkeep. I finished stitching it this summer. Thanks! Julie for the idea, she did the same design.

I have the BBD all stitched, now just have to finish that one off too.

I have been reading some new awesome blogs lately.

My problems with blogger all of a sudden cleared up.

I finally weeded my google reader, maybe that helped.

Thank you for all the comments and e-mails. I really love to hear from you.

And just because I seem to get more comments when I post a pic of Brianna, here she is playing in the leaves.

Hey! Where did this shoe come from?

When I take her for a walk, she thinks she has to step on every single leaf, so it takes a long while just to walk to the mailbox, lol.

I received my blog candy from the very talented Karin today. Even though some were broke, they are just gorgeous in real life. I plan on doing some kind of spring or summer biscornu with them. Thank You! so much Karin I absolutelty love them.

Thank you for all your continued support.

I am still wishing for a stitching friend, I must have used up all my wishes, :(

Happy Stitching! Don't forget to floss every single day ;)

Little elephant

I hope everyone that went out trick or treating stayed safe.

Here is a couple of pics of Brianna (granddaughter, for those who don't know) That elephant trunk kept getting in her way, she was so annoyed by it, lol

Please check out my new trading blog found on my side bar. I really hate to get rid of my Just Nan, but I really need to start to downsize. Many of these are oop. I will randomly be updating both trade and wish list here and there and will try to remember to inform when I do that

Well, back to raking

Wite soon and Thanks for visiting me.
