A walk on the beach.

I'm so bad about blogging..but I will try to update you.
I've been doing lots of singing and trying to keep up with my stitching.

Presqu'ile Beach I

Anne  a fellow stitcher

the water was lovely and warm

A young walking friend

The weather has been so hot I finally went out walking the last couple of days. Yesterday a friend  ( Anne) called and she and I walked on the beach not 4 min. from where we live. We are so fortunate.
This is Lake Ontario and the Park is a Provincial park called Presq'ile Park!

 I joined in to help finish a RR for a Friend I did the  Y & Z....Kathy was part of this too and Dani gets to finish it !

Jardin Prive SAL

This the next installment of the SAL I'm doing with a group of Stitchers I have met over the years.

Back from the framer ..my Mira RR .
Yippee I love how it looks!  Thanks to Ann, Dani, Christin, Kathy, Barb, Lisa, Judie, Bonni,e Angie and my Mom Adriana .They used their imagination and Mira charts to come up with this lovely piece of work. I laid out the squares and gave them one request  BLING!!!!! Oh yes I did the Middle one.

MIRA RR.


So there you have it!
Stitch with happy fingers and see you soon

SAL and I'm on the road again.

Here  is a picture of my Jardin Prive SAL.
It is a sweet stitch.

Last night I went with my traveling friends to Niagara falls on the way to Cleveland.

 Wow it was so beautiful we saw an hour and a half of fireworks from the window in the casino and had a perfect seat while we ate dinner. After dinner we walked down to see the lights at the falls. It was midnight and lovely and warm.

The morning we left for Cleveland.

pretty lights.

Tomorow we will go see the rock and roll hall of fame and some other places here in Cleveland.
We intend on seeing at least one ball game Jays vs Indians (thursday)...maybe tomorrow night we will see the Yanks vs Indians too...if we can get tickets.... we hear that it's sold out...lets hope..

I do have stitching with me but never much time to stitch.
I did quite a bit on my HAED and forgot to take a picture. I'll do that when I get home in a few days!

Stitch with happy fingers!

Awesome Weekend

Boy I don't know where to start..It was just a wonderful weekend of stitching with friends at a lovely cottage at Honey harbour On Georgian Bay Ont.
If you would go to Bonnie's blog ( here) She has a wonderful photo of the cottage where we stayed and gave a very good description of our weekend.
We did a lot of stitching and eating..

this is where the cottage is

 Kathy and I arrived at noon Thursday and had lunch at a little cafe!

I feel I got lots done..it is wonderful to stitch on!

It was fun to catch up with  my friends.
Christin has shared some pics too. There are links on Bonnie and Kathy's blog.

Stitch with happy fingers.
Until the next time!

It's about time!

Well I'm going to try this blogging again...boy have I ever been lax.
Now I have been stitching and busy singing and reading ..
Oh yes I've taken up quilting too.
So lots going on.
I have a NEW laptop...it's wonderful!

I'm working on a SAL with some ladies I know and I'm enjoying it so much.
It is called Jardin Prive from a french designer called Creation Nathalie.
I changed the colours to my liking but they are all beautiful. We have many different colours and sizes.

2nd segment of SAL

Bagatelle 1'st row


Bagatelle is coming along!

thank you gift

A little thank you gift I stitched for a friend.

Dani's quilt squares

This is the cover I made for my new Kindle e-reader. Kathy had the pattern for this and I took it upon
myself  to make it!!

I had stitched this Jennette Douglas a year or so ago and it fit perfect so I was able to incorporate the 2 together.

I will try and be a bit more diligent with the blogging now that I have my new computer!!!

Stitch with happy fingers.

Homeward Bound

I've been having a wonderful trip and I'm so sorry I didn't blog more...I  have only had a bit of time in the evenings to post so I have been useing facebook to put up my pictures.
We are heading home tomorrow and it should take 6-7 days depending on the weather. We are giving it lots of time.


Shopping makes me tired.
