Washington Progress and a New Buddy

First for my new buddy! Since Sandy is still missing, I put my foot down last night with my dad and told him I was picking up a kitten from grandma’s  today. And when Sandy does decide to show up, we will be a 2 cat household! He didn’t object and asked that I get the newest black kitten instead of Ebenezer. Now for the dilemma: a NAME! My sis is coming over after work to help me with that. So, for now, I present my new little buddy:

Yeah, his eyes are still matted and he has fleas. All will be remedied soon enough! But ain’t he a cutie pie!!!

 

And progress on Washington Monument:

Yes, what a cutie pie...I love kittens, well all cats, but I seldom get an actual kitten. I seem to adopt adult cats when I have a cat. Right now I can't have one, but I do feed the strays!

Your Washington Monument stitching pictures is coming along nicely!

What a sweetie! We had a little black one like that for 15 years before she went to kitty heaven...my boys named her Panthor after the black cat in HeMan!

Hmmm... Stitch does have a ring to it. I'll see what my sis comes up with and then decide.

How sweet -- my first cat was a black cat and he was baaaad! but I loved him lots. How about Slick? as in oil.

Holi-versary Giveaway!

On October 1, 2008 I decided to jump on the blog bandwagon! I really didn’t think it would last this long. Nor did I think I would make friends through this avenue. But it has and I did!

It's My Turn!!!

Edited Date to keep on top! Well, I have completed my list of what I want to stitch from my books and magazines and found that there are four (4) magazines that I have no reason to keep. So, for my very first ever giveaway, I am offering to you, my readers, a chance to win one of these fine magazines: The World of Cross Stitching (Jan 2005 - also includes a pullout Giant Mr. Men chart of the Alphabet), Cross Stitch Crazy (Feb 2005), Sampler & Antique Needlework (Spring 2009), and JCS (Mar/Apr 2009 - a duplicate that I received after purchasing a copy in the store). I have included pics of the covers of each of these magazines. I also have a progress update on Quaker Medallion . I am nearly finished with the stitching, should be done tonight, and will decide how to finish (i.e. frame, ornie, etc) it over the weekend. Here is a pic: I bet you're wondering how to enter this giveaway! Well, here are the simple steps to take for a chance to win: Post a comment here letting me k

Memorial Day~~~Giveaway

 Well, I promised another giveaway, something of the patriotic sort, and decided that Memorial Day would be the date! Now for the giveaway part: it will be a SURPRISE!!!  :D To start things off, I want to pay tribute to the veterans and currently serving members of our Armed Forces: Army, Navy, Air Force (formerly Army Air Corps), Marines, and Coast Guard. Yes, the Coast Guard is part of our defense system and even served during WWII in an active capacity. I visited one such ship in Key West last summer. ***** What is a Vet? Some Veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye. Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or perhaps another sort of inner steel: the soul's ally forged in the refinery of adversity. Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem. You can't tell a Vet just by looking. What
