Sunday's Stitchy Update...

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to say welcome to my new followers

and I hope that everyone had a wonderful week!

This week I went back to stitching Dinosaurs but I

couldn't motivate myself to stitch until the weekend

and that is when I took full advantage of the

International Hermit and Stitch Weekend.

My goal for the month was to stitch 1,800 stitches

on this piece during the month of May and 

I am almost there - only 140 stitches to go ;)

Now to put this one down and pick up 

my L*K ABC's of Aging for the week...

Thanks for taking a peek at my stitching

see ya next week with another faithful update!

Mother's Day

I had the most fantastic Mother's Day!

My family spoiled me as always and I hope they know how much I love and treasure them...

A few weeks ago I won an awesome pendant from Cathy over at CraftyCat but I couldn't show it to you right away because once Jacob saw it he insisted we give it to his mom for Mother's Day.

This is the pendant and she made it on a Scrabble tile!

I think it looks great and my daughter loved it as well!

Thank you Cathy!

Then I see I won another door prize at

The Online Needlework Show

These are from Praiseworthy Stitches

and if you know me then you know that

Bunny Garden Needleroll

will be hopping into my rotation SOON.

Thanks Pam and Susan!!

Hello everyone...

I hope you had a wonderful week and that all

the Moms in the States had a fantastic Mother's Day!

This week I started stitching a

new piece from DeeBee's Designs

I won a Custom Made Name Banner from Debbie during the Online Needlework Show and I picked our last name NICHOLS for the banner.  I asked for the colors of purple and blues and she threw in a bit of green too and it looks awesome.  

This is how far I got this week...

and I hope to get lots more stitched

up next time I work on this!

Thanks for taking a peek at my stitching

Sunday's Stitchy Update...

Hello Everyone!

I hope you have had a wonderful week and that SPRING has finally arrived to your neighborhood.  We have had a wonderful couple of days of great weather and Jacob even got to play at the park today after church

Now for the stitching...

This week I worked on Dinosaurs!

Here is my progress for the week

Thanks for taking a peek at my stitching

see ya next week with another faithful update!

May YOTA

It is the first Saturday in May and the sun is finally shining!  Hopefully spring has finally arrived and it will stay this time.  We are supposed to get some rain in the next few days but I will definitely take it over the extended snow and freezing days we had recently.

Also since it is the first Saturday in May it is YOTA day.  YOTA is a SAL where you show monthly progress on a UFO of your choice. If you would like to join us we you can still sign up!

The UFO I am stitching is DINOSAURS! 

This is what it looked like at the last YOTA

and this is what it looks like now

Thanks for looking and I look forward

to showing you more progress on the

next YOTA day June 1st

Look what I got!

A couple of weeks ago Shaunterria held a contest on her blog Ca11i0pe's Reviews and Stitching News for a duplicate Santa's Store Stocking chart she received in thru a shipping snafu and I was the lucky winner!!

She sent the chart along with all

the floss needed and the buttons from JABC

I think I might make it into an ornament

as soon as I can get it into my rotation.

I also attended The Online Needlework Show

and entered to win several door prizes and I was a 

LUCKY WINNER!!

I won a custom made name banner from

DebBee's Designs

Debbie emailed me and asked me to pick a name and colors for my banner and I picked our last name and the colors purple and blue with a modern type font.  I received it from her yesterday - I think it looks awesome and can't wait to start it. There is not a picture yet because it is a custom chart but once I start it, of course I will post progress pictures! 

Thanks for visiting and stay

tuned for some new starts soon!
