100 post's today

Today I am posting my 100th blog.

I can't tell you how much fun this has been for me and I wish to thank all of my blogger friends for the wonderful comments which keeps this blog going for me. You have all been very kind!!!

My computer skills have improved and so has my typing. I'm still learning but it is FUN!!!

I had to work yesterday so it was a lost day for stitching.

This weekend I worked on the Nordic Angel and Sat. was MG day.

MG is a slow stitch with all the Krenik and waterlillies but it is so pretty.




Oh yes I will talk to Barb and let her know you all loved her teapot!!!
She probably did see the comments on my blog. Thank You.

I'm off to put some stitches in PL. Yes I love it for sure.

Have a great day and stitch with happy fingers.

I just remembered

I remembered today that I had promised to post a photo of Barb's Tea Pot!! As you can see she made it into a Tea cozy.
Barb is an Amazing seamstress and has taught us many things i.e. Flatfolds and the Banner..
Now look at this Tea Cozy.!! Isn't it great.
Barb reads the blogs but does not post as yet...I'm working on her but she needs high speed.
She also is involved with our Snowbird SAL. And I have posted there for her as well.






My Tea pot is a different chart but from the same designer. We [6 or 7 ] started this in the late summer and a few have them finished. My Mom did the blue and I did the yellow so I'm going to put them both into 1 cozy.


I have been working on the computer putting the blogs I read into Google Reader. This so cool. But not being too computer smart it is taking me awhile to get them all in . I love it though it gives me more reading time and stitching time. Once this is all set I will get back to my blogging and stitching.
Boy will I be glad when I'm retired from work...That will give me a lot more time. 3 mo's to go... yippee.

I have company coming for dinner so I had better go.

Have a nice weekend everyone and stitch with happy fingers.

Back at it!

This is what it looked like the last time I looked at it!









I don't know what hit me this week , But I decided I needed to take out a few UFO's and have a look at one I will finish..The Nordic Angel won. She is really very pretty and I do love this chart by Barbara Baatz. I've had it floating around for over a year. So here is my progress .



I also worked on the MG. This is very interesting to work on. I'm needing a magnifier to see the holes. The color makes it hard to see. It's not real dark just different!

My BFF Kathy was here yesterday and stitched with my Mom and I. It was so good to see her. We even stitched together today at Ann's and will stitch tomorrow at Judie's.
We needed to catch up with one another. It was fun. She stitches alone in Yuma . No stitchers there.
I hope you all have a wonderful day.
I'm off to the choir practice tonight. Boy the weather is bad again. I'm getting a lift from a couple that are members as well . I'm glad I don't have to drive, it's snowing again!
Stitch with happy fingers!

Thank you!!

First of all I want to thank everyone for the lovely comments on my blog.
I had no Idea so many folks were reading my blog and I am flattered.

My next SAL is the Dragon Dreams Moonlight Guardian and I have a little of the border done,
Blue never shows real well on the photos but it is pretty close. This has lots of krenik and beads so it will be fun!
The PL is a wonderful stitch and as I said on the SAL blog it is Therapeutic. I really enjoy it.

I'm off to stitch with the Thursday group at Knowledge and Needles so farewell to all.
Stitch with happy fingers.

Ta Daaa !!! It's finished!

It's a new Year and a New Start

I started a SAL with Dani and Christin. It was to start Jan 1/08. But I had to wait for the fabric which I received from Dani today. It is the Moonlight Guardian by Dragon Dreams.
Soooooo.... Here it is... started!!!
I also did some work on the PL yesterday..

I invite you to have a look at Caroliens blog. She had a surprise for me!
I was so impressed I want to share it with my Blogging friends.

That is just to much fun. I love that she shared it with us!!!

I'm off to do a little more stitching with Ann and Dani at Ann's..I think Sharon is coming too tonight!
Bye for now.
