May WIPocalypse

Another month came and went without my taking needle to fabric, but alas that is coming to an end as I did pick up a WIP this weekend. I don't know why I get into these funks, but I do and I don't do anything but vege out on Facebook, lol.

Anyway, this month's topic is as follows:

What designs or themes do you really wish you could find?  What do you think is missing among stitching designs?

 I am going to answer the second part first: I don't know of anything that is truly missing among stitching designs. It seems to me that designers pretty well have the realm of topics covered.

 Now, as to what designs/themes I wish I could find: more FROGS! Ok, so I am in love with any and all things froggy. I have a booklet of frog designs but it doesn't seem to be enough. I would also love to find the perfect 23rd Psalm design. I have found one that is close to my liking, but I think I am going to have to create my own design using the sketches my dad did for me before he died in 2012. I have a certain image of what it should look like in my head. Now to get it into a design format and stitch it, lol.

Well, that about wraps it up. I am off to write another post as I didn't want to combine the two topics.

I think we all get into those funks every once in a while. Right now I have cross-stitch, crochet, sewing, quilting and even knitting that I could choose from yet here I sit on the computer as none of them are calling my name.

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”.

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
