Ta Daaa !!! It's finished!

HAPPY DANCE!!!

After one year and one week Lucky is complete!! I will miss him but I have already moved on to a new Dragon..I'm so fickle. He has been a part of my life every weekend for a year!

I have a lot of projects on the go and I'm going to work on at least 3 of them diligently.
Paradigm Lost.
The Map of the Netherlands.
Moonlight Guardian.

The other pieces I will fit in as I go.
My 2008 goal is to finish the PL and the MG.
I hope to do a few ornaments as well.

Thank you for supporting Lucky through out the year of 2007.

Stitch with happy fingers and have a good day!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

On Jan 1st 2007 I started the SAL on the Teresa Wentzler castle. I called the dragon Lucky after the luck dragon on the movie The Never Ending Story. [one of my favorites]

I had hoped to have it done but I am soooo close I can feel it. Just a few more days. [bottom left rocks and claw]

I hope this finds you all in the best of times in the NEW YEAR !

"Thank you" for all the lovely comments and the stitching support.

It has been a wonderful year of support from my dear friends and the blogging world of stitching. I have made so many new friends and look forward to making many more.

All the best from Beatrice!

Yippee..it's here

Misty sent me the most gorgeous Ornament for the exchange we did.
I LOVE IT. Isn't it pretty?? It has lots of beads on it so it sparkles.
She sent with it an Angel Ornament beading kit. I do so love to bead so this will be done before too long.
Thanks again Misty!







I have been working diligently on the Castle the last few days was Back Stitching. And I did lots as you can see!

The bottom left corner rocks is all that is left to stitch.

I hope to have it done by the end of the year because I will start a new project on Jan.1 2008

Today I will work on the Paradigm Lost so I hope you all have a great day and Stitch with Happy fingers.

I did a little JOY

Just Cross stitch preview mag. 2007

This is the ornament that I did for Misty. She received it so I felt I could post it.
She doesn't have a blog. I'm still waiting for mine. She said it is in the mail!!



I'm the mean time I have been working on Lucky. He is coming along . Just the bottom left corner left to do and the back stitching of about 1/3 of it still. Tomorrow it the PL day.
I have a lunch to go to and the Theatre in the afternoon. So I will stitch on it in the evening.
Have agreat day and stitch with happy fingers.

Rainyday Monday

Today I went to a quilting store in the County to bye some fabric to finish my Mothers Dutch people.
While we were there we had lunch in a nice little restaurant, with a friend of mine that sings in the choir with me and is also a lovely stitcher.
The three of us had a great time at her place showing off our WIP's after lunch. It was a wonderful way to spend a rainy day.


I didn't stitch much yesterday but Saturday I worked on the castle.


I hope you all had a good weekend and got lots of stitching done.

Very Little

I have very little to show today because I'm working on a couple of ornaments...1 is the exchange and 1 is a gift.. I will post them when they are delivered.
The Castle has a lot of Backstitching done this weekend. So again very little to show unless you look real close.
I love this piece it is a lot of fun. Probably one of the easier TW's. But still a challenge. Lots of blends and quarter stitches.
Take care all have a good day!!!

Worked on Lucky

Hi All. Thank you for all of your lovely comments.
We had a wonderful weekend even though I did work on Friday and Saturday. I enjoyed my evening.....Watched the world series ball game and STITCHED. Lucky got a lot of attention and he is coming along.
Sunday the weather was gorgeous and was a none stitching day but spent all day with my family and had a wonderful dinner at my DB and DSL with my DH and Mom.

Today will be Tour des Marques after I do all those awful houseworky things..LOL.

Just a quick note I want to thank Kim ..The real life adventures...for the comment about finding a lost post. She emailed me with the info...Google reader and I will be studying that! apparently we CAN find it there. [I need to do some homework]
So I ask you readers to have a look at her blog she is a lovely stitcher and I'm sure would like to hear from my stitching friends as well.

Have a great day and stitch with happy fingers.

Here's my Photo

Last night blogger wasn't taking pictures so here is Lucky with a bit of tail happening.
The castle is finished and I have lots of rocks and Backstitching to do. But it's getting there.

I will show some progress on some other things later.. Now I'm of to watch the ball game.
Stitch with happy fingers folks.

Castle progress again

Well it's been a lovely long weekend for us Canadians...Thanksgiving...I hope those of you in Canada that celebrated had a great time!
It hard to believe we had 27*C weather almost all weekend. Hot and Humid!
The family was here for dinner yesterday, so not a lot of stitching, But Sat. I managed to do a whole lot of back stitching on the Castle.
I'm almost 3/4's done.
Today I was away all day so I'm tired and off to bed soon.
Hope you all have a great day.

Saturday TW Castle

My DH and I have been very busy for a few days. His Aunt passed away and the funeral was today, So... we were at the wake yesterday Afternoon and Evening. She didn't have any children therefore My DH and his brothers are the closes thing to children she had. She was elderly and Ill so we are great- full she lived a long life and was healthy until last winter. My DH's Parents were there today, also elderly. It's so tough for them to get around but they managed. She was my DMIL's sister.
Stitching was on the back burner and so was blogging. I hope to catch up tonight.
I put a few stitches in the castle on Saturday night. I see another Spier in the wing!

I hope you are all doing well and thank you for visiting.

Mom's Dutch People

I hope that you had a great weekend!!! Yesterday I worked on Lucky and finished the stitching on his wing. ...Can you see all the tiny Quarter stitches. Yikes. and I'm only 3/4 of the way through.
I took the photo this way So when I back stitch I can compare with and without BS.

The photo's of the Dutch people are being stitch by my 91 year young Mother, She received the chart from a Dutch friend who found it in a box with some very old things and gave it to my Mother. There will be 9 pieces in all and when she has Stitched them all I will make it into a Lap quilt for her.

We spent the day together at our house,after church in the AM and then dinner in the PM. We pretty much stitched all day and I took her home at 7. That seems to be our regular routine.
My DH enjoys her company so she always loves to come here.
I'm so lucky to still have her in my life and to stitch with !!!

It's the wing in progress

Hi All !!
Well I finally had a weekend to stitch. Saturday I worked on the TW SAL and got a lot done as you can see. The colors are very bright.
The whole photo in on one of the previous posts so I thought a closeup of the wing where I'm working was in order.
Yesterday my Mom and I spent some time looking a mags. She was looking for a bit to put in with her stitching.

Hmmm......I will take a photo of her work next week and post it. She is amazing!

Tomorrow I'm off to Stratford On. Festival of Canada.
I go every year with a friend of mine to see a play. Always the musicals. This year it's Gershwins' "My One and Only"
Some of the music that we preform in our Jazz Choir. So it should be fun. This is my Mini holiday away.
This is our 12th year going. We stay in a Bed & Breakfast and come home the next day. 3hour drive one way. So the over night is wonderful. I am looking forward to it!
Thank you for all your lovely comments and I hope you all,
STITCH WITH HAPPY FINGERS.

Castle SAL [Lucky]

Hello everyone. First of all I'll tell you I survived all the laundry and stuff. Even went out for a nice lunch with Kathy.
We did some shopping and enjoyed some time together.

This evening I was able to spend some time on Lucky. He is looking good I think. I might spend a little more time on him this week to catch up . I know I'm running behind.
Even though a SAL is not a race I feel I need to move on with him. So.... this week a little extra.!!!

I have to go out of town tomorrow, so the day will be shot.
Hopefully the evening will be free to stitch up a storm. I won't even be able to go to the Thursday stitching group. Yikes...not good. Oh well you got to do what you got to do!!!!
Have a good day all!
Stitch with happy fingers.

SOME PROGRESS!!

I hope you all had a nice weekend!

Saturday I was able to do some work on the Castle and I also worked on it Sunday afternoon.


Then last night I worked on the M designs Christmas Tree.
It seems to be going quite well on 20ct. I do like the red fabric. I got it when I bought the chart at
Knowledge and Needles.

She is offering the fabric with it.





Our Thursday stitching group is doing a SAL.
Tea pots from the Gold Magazine.
There is a blue one and a yellow one. I'm doing the yellow.
I do love sunflowers.

Stitch with happy fingers !!!
