Sta-cation coming to an end...

...and you think I would have taken advantage of the 2 days I took off and do nothing but stitching! Nope!! I got maybe 3 hours in the whole weekend. I will share pics later.

This past weekend was my SAL with Lana over at A Joyful Stitcher. Again, I will post pics later as I haven't taken any yet. I do have to admit it will probably take me the better part of this year on working on this SAL to complete all of the detail work. While I am loving "Coming Home for the Holidays", I will be so glad when it is done. I would really like to start another big Christmas piece, but I refuse to until this one is done.

Also, I put my photography skills to use once again at church. I mentioned in a prior post that we are celebrating Pastor's Appreciation month this month. I am thankful to have found a wonderful Church home/family at New River Church. However, I do believe we should celebrate and show our appreciation every chance we get for our Pastor's. Anyhoo, Here is a collage of some of the pictures I took:

One of our musician's "composed" a song in honor of our Lead Pastor based loosely on the theme to "The Beverly Hillbillies". It was hysterical! Of course, I love that show (among others of that era), so it was extra funny. Anyway, I do believe our Pastor will be known as "The Man from Zephyrly Hills" from now on, LOL! (the name of the town we live in is Zephyrhills)

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

Image
 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
