Silly me!

WOW!! I have found my blog! And am abit embarressed!! But i would like to get back into posting my stitching and blogging! My grandsons are growing up--Tyson is 16 and Mason 15. And I have been blessed with 2 granddaughters-Veronica is 6 and her sister Amelia is 4!! Lucky me! I was thrilled about a month ago when i was into  Veronicas' room.  She was getting out a pair of socks and piled neatly in a corner all the cards I have stitched for her! That did my heart good!  Projects comming up will be 2 Easter cards for my little sweethearts as well as a "50th" birthday card for my niece Susan.
   I really hope some of the stitchers here will visit me and we can become friends!
 

HAPPY 2011!

Another new year--wow! Time goes too fast. I have my first project picked out. It is a cottage design. They are all so pretty but I have yet to stitch one. I would like to have it finished by the end of the month! So--fingers crossed please!

And I'm back!!

And I have one little offering! I love this design and think this is the third time I've stitched it! It is a PM miniture from Pat&Gloria. And I will be using it for a card.
I don't know how-but time is flying by at a ridiculous rate! I have now managed to take 3 of 5 tests for my Health Care Aide certificite. Been doing this for 23 years and I'm finally taking the course! Twenty of those years were as a nursing aide in a long term care facility. My grades were 85%,93% and 85%. Two more exams then the practicum-which doesn't worry me at all--not like the exams!! Then the big one-and that--worries me!
Went to Chapters today and bought The World of Cross Stitch and Cross Stitch Crazy! I love those magazines! Course they are a month behind,but that's ok. At least I can buy them! And those wonderful little kits! This time there was one of the new bear-Bentley! Love it!
Well,if anyone reads this-THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!!

Finished New Years' card

I have finished off this card for Joan and better mail it soon. It is headed for Australia. I just wanted to post a card so the final product could be seen.

Almost New Year!! 26 Hours to go!!

2010 is just around the corner! And to celebrate this event in stitching I am making 3 cards for my dear pen pals. All 3 love to stitch so I hope this card will make them smile! Nothing fancy--just straight to the point! I will post a picture again when they are finished.

And mentioning pictures--I have collected so many free charts just by going around and visiting other blogs! Thank you to all you dear stitchers who share charts which you've designed or putting a link so we can go to the site where the chart is.

Hope everyone has a wonderful evening tomorrow night and enjoys bringing in the New Year! I'll be having a house party,mostly family. People age from 4 and older-LOL!! But it is a nice time to get together!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Almost here! 2010--boy time flies by! I would like to show you my largest project. I did it for my hubby when he got a promotion and an office. I had it framed at 'Michaels' and think they did an amazing job with it!

I have been visiting alot of the blogs and have been enjoying reading your thoughts and looking at all the beautiful cross stitch! Hopefully in the new year,I will have lots of photos to add to my blog! This will mainly be cross stitch! I feel alone in the 'stitching world' so any comments or visits will be appreciated! And if I make afew friends-that will really be wonderful!

To all of you-a very Happy,Healthy and Stitchy New Year!!

HAPPY MONDAY Dec.14

It is so cold here! But the sun is shinning and had me fooled for a minute. Looking at the weather network we are bouncing at a cool -38 c. Definatel;y a cool day! We have had temperatures like this all of December. I think it is making up for the lovely November we had,making alot think maybe winter would just pass us by this year--no such luck!

But to cross stitching! Which I love to do. And what better day for it? I have been stitching up letters for my grandson Masons' kindergarten class. There are 17 students and they are all so cute. I watch Mason while my daughter works and am fortunate to be able to volunteer for craft days,field trips,etc. I am getting to know the students and decided to make them each a Christmas ornie. Now wishing I had started a month earlier-I'm stitching every spare minute! LOL! I will try to add afew photos of my work!
