Crazy Day 4 and a Snowman

Ok, so it’s a stitcher’s prerogative to change her or his mind! I did just that when I decided to finish the Caroling Snowman into it's frame. Here is the final, FINAL picture of him:

For the hanging bit, I used a piece of red and green twisted cording that I got from Cindy Mae Designs. I think it is cute!

I spent quite a bit of time on Colonial Williamsburg yesterday as well. I almost have the bottom half finished, as you can see:

That is a LOT of green stitching in there, LOL! I never thought I would see the end of that color. Next month, I will fill in the flowers, the house, and hopefully finish the alphabet portion at the top (there are two more sets). Whew!!!

I am going to spend a little bit of time this evening working on Crazy Day 5 and see how far I can get. I will post my update on that tomorrow and then probably not again for a few days (may not be until the 16th). Don’t forget to order your sweetie a valentine’s arrangement! Here are a few to entice you to call your local florist:

Oh, I almost forgot! I finally gave my step-mom her Christmas present. She absolutely loves it! I would have taken a picture of her with it, but she had just woken up (slept in). In case you forgot, this is what I made for her:

I have been busy trying to settle into my new life as an independent woman and missed my blogoversary this year.

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
