As Promised



I am feeling much better as far as the cold goes. Other things...not so great,but that's another story for another day. Anyway I promised pics and boy oh boy do I have some for you. First off I have a pic of the adorable baby sweater that Miss Bonnie knitted for our housekeeper and friend Angela's baby boy PJ.



This is a picture of Angela. She is a godsend and I don't know what I would do without her help every day.



This is my finished version of Little House Needlework's "Lavender's Blue". My mother used to sing this song when I was growing up. So I have a fondness for the verse.



This is one of the Blackbird Designs' stockings.



This is "Daisy,Daisy" from La D Da. It will eventually be turned into a heart pillow.



This is "Winter Wonderland" (I think) from Little House Needleworks. I have a thread pocket from Impie, Hattie and Bea and this piece will be affixed to the front of the pocket.




This is a breast cancer awareness kit from Little House Needleworks and Elegant Stitch in California. I believe that it is called "Where There Is Hope".

So you can see that I have been stitching my little heart out these past few months. Now I need to get on to framing and finishing these lovelies. Have a wonderful week filled with lots of stitching.

Still Here...and Kicking

I know I know, I promised pictures ages ago and I am nothing if not true to my word. Trouble is I caught a nasty spring cold that just won't go away. I feel really yucky and don't have the energy to do much of anything. I just wanted to pop in and say hello, and apologize for my tardiness. I will post pics as soon as I am feeling better, I promise. Until then, have a wonderful week and run a marathon for me!

And The Winner Is...

First I want to say thank you to all who took the time to leave such nice comments regarding my Blogiversary. I had thirty-one comments (32 but someone commented twice)and fifteen of you guessed that my husband's real name is Michael. I added all the comments/guesses together assigned numbers to each comment/guess according to date and time and came up with a total number of 46. I then used the random number generator and came up with 46 as the winner. The winner is Dawn Wright of Arizona. Dawn congratulations to you, please email me at tangerinedream73@gmail.com with your mailing address and I will send your prize off to you.

I have been having issues with my camera and have been unable to take pics of my stitching as well as a pic of the Blogiversary prize. I think that I may have resolved the problems and so I will post pics next week. Thanks again to all of you who made my anniversary so much fun. I so enjoyed logging in to my email everyday and seeing all of the lovely comments. Have a wonderful weekend!

I'm Back...For Good This Time and A Blogiversary

Howdy Folks! I have a confession, my computer bit the dust about a year ago. I have been using Milsey's computer when he wasn't busy with it. His computer, however, bit the dust about two months ago. Anyway, I haven't really been able to properly post for over a year now. Today, Milsey surprised me with a new computer and so my friends I am back...for good. I promise to be diligent with my blog posts from this day forward.

What have I been up to you ask? I have been stitchimg my little heart out. I have finished several projects over the past few months. Tonight I am playing with my new laptop, but sometime this week I will update with pictures.

Now on to the Blogiversary! On April 09, 2008 I started this blog and so on Friday, I will have my second anniversary. I am going to give away a pile of gifties to one lucky reader. You must comment on this post only and you must leave your comment by midnight Eastern Standard Time on Friday April 16, 20010. I have lots to give away so don't be shy! If you can tell me the real name of my husband Milsey (Hint: his name is mentioned in previous posts) you can have a second chance for the draw (just email me with your guess at tangerinedream73@gmail.com). Good luck and don't forget to check back for pictures of my recent projects as well as a sneak peak of the prize for my blogiversary.


*Kate and Natasha-I have logged your guesses for a second chance entry but have removed your answers and adjusted the rules to add a challenge to the contest!
