Quick post

I have a few things to share with you when I am feeling up to it. I have been sick for the better part of a week now (no sympathy needed, thanks). I just wanted to touch base with my readers to let you know that I am here and will make a proper post in a few days.

I'm so sorry that you don't feel good! I just got over a little something. I hope you are on the road to recovery. No sympathy needed, indeed. LOL! We all need to be sympathized with at some time or another!!

Well, even if you don't want or need any sympathy, I'm sorry but I can't help. Just throw it away, or give it back to someone else. Lol!
Hope you feel better very soon, Jules.
Lots of hugs your way, give some to Sandy ;)

Hi Julie, here's to health and being able to stitch your way better. As for all of those tacks...When I stitch a solid piece such as the Loon Serenade I always wash it and then block it that way so when it comes time to stretch it onto the board it is nice and square. Not sure how I will finish this one off as it is so very dark but you just never know. I will post it when it is finished and on a wall.

Your work is wonderful, and inspiring. Keep it up.

Be always in stitches.

Thanks everyone! I will be making another post shortly. I have a few pictures to take of the smalls I have been stitching. I may just save the post for Sunday so I can show the finished-finishes!

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!

For those of you who don’t know, my father passed away in September after a battle with cancer. Thus gaining my “independence”. Anyhoo… The holidays are here and I thought I would have a little giveaway to celebrate the season and my 4 years as a blogger! No hoops to jump through here! Just leave a comment on this post.

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
