So Thankful!

welcome4

First and foremost, WELCOME to my newest readers! I look forward to reading any comments you leave and reading your blogs too. It’s been a rule of mine that if you Follow my blog, I will follow yours.

That said, I have been awarded a special gift from one of my followers: the Liebster Award! I haven’t received many awards for this blog over the 4+ years, but when I do receive one, they are very special to me. So a big THANK YOU to Mii for this award!

Now, I am to choose 5 blogs that I enjoy reading and say something that I like about their blog. Also, they are to have less than 200 followers. Sounds pretty easy, right!?! So here goes:

Penny over at Mind Wanderings

Penny stitches the cutest pieces.

Lana over at A Joyful Stitcher and Reader

I will only count her once, but she has a couple of blogs that are fun to read. Her stitching is beautiful on the one blog and she challenges herself in reading a ton of books each year. Well worth the visit!

Lija over at Stitching in Crosses and More…

She’s been working on a really amazing piece for some time now.

Lisa who is A Southern Belle misplaced in Michigan

I love her blog! Every time I read it, I miss a little bit of home. Yeah, I am from Michigan.

Clare is the Craftlady in Kiwiland

Ok, Kiwiland is in reference to New Zealand. I love kiwi fruit! I also love her blog!! She is entertaining and her stitching is lovely. Oh, and kitty is adorable!!

I also want to give a special “SHOUT OUT” to a blog I love to wander over to from time to time: Sharon at Wildflower House! She does the most incredible painting and other artwork. Sharon has been creating a calendar page each month this year and I have to tell ya they are fabulous! If you want to see something different, take a gander at her blog!!

If any of those that I have chosen for my 5 don’t like to add blog awards, that’s fine. I still wanted to share you with the rest of stitchy-land!

Congratulations! Hope you win (is this an appropriate thing to say - I am still after more than a year of blogging a little uncertain of how this award thing works - does this mean I am nominated now?) Great to be mentioned ... does give a certain fuzzy feeling inside. Thanks so much.

What a very sweet surprise. Thank you so much. I love blogging and meeting great people,like you. Thanks also for your well wishes. Unfortunately it has now turned into acute bronchitis and they put me on antibiotics. Hopefully this will be the end. I have not been ill for years and this really got to me. Hope to have fun photos up in a day or two. Thanks again!

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! I have been busy trying to settle into my new life as an independent woman and missed my blogoversary this year. 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. Here are some of the goodies I plan to include: a holiday stitched piece by me a holiday related scissors fob something to keep you warm during the cold winter months and something else to be decided So there you have it! This giveaway is open to all of my followers, old and new. Your last day to enter will be Sunday, December 9th at 5pm EST . I am putting a time on

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
