contest oops!

I forgot to state the information on the design....lol. It is called Santa's Flight (pictured on page 77/chart on page 83) by Shepherd's Bush. When completed this ornament will hang on my 'Twas the Night Before Christmas Tree in my story book nook.

Contest is over!

Mary won the contest. Congratulations to her on knowing her JCS Ornament issue!

A contest is a brewing!

I have started an ornament from the JCS Ornament issue (2009) and am making a bit a progress. But thought hey why not make a contest out of it, since the stitching seems a bit obscure at present...lol. From this picture, if you can correctly identify the design, designer, and page number I have a few duplicates of cross stitch magazines I would love to send to you.

The catch is you must be the first to post the correct information (design, designer, and page number) to my blog and in the post leave your name, email addy, and which group you know me from.

And now for the photo:




Have fun and look forward to your answers

Contest is a brewing is over!

Mary has won this contest! I hope to post more contests soon. thanks to everyone for taking a peek

Christmas SAL part 3

I finally managed to get the floss color needed for this (DMC 351) this morning and put the last stitches in this afternoon. I'm ready and waiting for part 4 on Thursday....lol.

Okay the wait won't be long or sitting idly as I have gone through my JCS Ornaments issue for the 6th or 7th time in the last week. The last two browsings have been to plan out which ones are a must for as quickly as possible. And today they were marked and two of which are of the otmost priority so they can hang on one of my Story Book Nook trees this year. I will which ones for a surprise at the moment though.....lol

Seasonal Cups part 3

Another part of the seasonal cups has been completed. Only one more to go and then on to finishing my first bell pull. Today I hope to finish part 3 of the Christmas SAL and maybe start the frogging process on the Peace SAL, so a restart can begin on it. Of course there are some housework issues to attend to first, but that shouldn't take too long...lol.

Another finish

Last night I completed part 2 of the Christmas SAL. This makes me almost caught up with it.

Hopefully tonight I can complete part 3, and be able to work on another SAL.

I also spent time yesterday pulling out the fall/Halloween/Thanksgiving decorations, so now as I go through and fall clean each room I can get it decorated for the autumn season. Also Rick and I can see what we still need for the Halloween decorating and really get to the nitty gritty of our plans for that.

Wow the year is just passing by quickly. Soon it will be Christmas, and then 2010! Where does time go?
