If you remember?

A few months ago I posted about my Tea Cozy.
Someone had asked about the charts and I finnally found where they came  from

They were in the Cross stitch Gold issue   #46 and #47
I hope that helps.
Here is a link of that post  Tea Cozy it is actually a post called I love my new clock but this is where the photo's are of it.

Just a lovely photo to share of a windmill in Holland!  


No stitching pics today...still working on the CdC.

My Updates

Well 2 posts in a week...don't get too used to it...LOL! The weather is changing and I'm settling in..so I hope to post more often.
Here is an update on my WIP's...this a monthly chart of Inky Dinky Blackwork by Sandra Dering


this JBW is being done on a lovely 55ct...yes 55 ct linen from France.
My friend Clare is always setting me up with a smaller count..this is  soooo small but stunning. Hold a dime in your hand and picture it! Dani took the picture at the GTG.


Dani and Christin gave me this pretty little pair of Dovo Scissors for my BDay.  they are so luxurious..and to finish it off Kathy gave me the hand made fob with a lighthouse for stitching on the RR.
Thanks ladies!

Bonnie gifted me with these retractable sharpies highlighters..they are so great Thanks Bonnie!

Dani put her touch on My MIRA RR.(left bottom) oh it is stunning...lots of bling.My favorite!Love it Dani.

Odds and Sods

I've had a good week..did some interesting things and have kept pretty busy.




I went to Micheal's and bought 6 cubes (@ 40% off each) for my stitching things...the cubes come in a box and you have to build them. each one took about an hour...not hard to do just time consuming building all the drawers.Yikes  Good thing I like baseball.It was easy to listen to while I built!
Now I have to sort through my things and fill the shelves and drawers.
I love the way they look!


On Sunday I was involved with singing in the park in Picton On.
 I took my Mom with me so we would have an audiance..surprise.. there were at least 150 people there.  NICE!
Doesn't Mom look great? Her birthday is in 3 weeks she'll be 94.
Some photo's to share with you.













Not much stitching this week, only the CdC and I'll show it next time.


Have a good week and stitch with happy fingers.!
