Updated Blog's Look and PIF

I know, I know. It's not even February, yet and I've already put out the hearts, but I couldn't resist. I haven't been stitching too much this week. Busy with work, plus, I finally finished the Twilight series....borrowed them from my daughter after she and I saw the movie. The books were so much more detailed.

Tomorrow's the SAT over at Let's Stitch. I haven't figured out what I'm gonna work on, yet, but I will definitely be stitching all evening. I' really looking forward to the end of the work week and some serious stitching time for me:) I still have a F & S square I need to stitch...haven't picked out the chart, yet. Maybe, I'll do that this evening, so I'm ready to go come 6pm tomorrow.

Well, I'm trying this again.

I was one of the lucky ones to be picked for Karen D.'s PIF. I am offering a PIF here at my blog, like I said I would do. So, here are the rules: * If you would like to receive a stitchy gift made by me within 365 days please leave a comment on this post to say that you are interested, the first 2 names I draw on Saturday, February 14th....[in honor of my blog update].(Presuming I get more than 2 people interested that is) will be my PIF members* In return you post the same offer on your own blog. And the chain goes on... :) So easy and so fun. So, please leave a comment and I'll get back to the winners after Valentine's Day.

Well, I'm off to dig through my stash. Till next time....

PIF

Just a reminder that I'll be drawing 3 names for the PIF on tuesday, so if anyone else is interested please leave your name in the comment section. So far, I only have 1 taker, Robin. Will email everyone on wednesday. Thanks for joining in.

Where'd the Weekend Go?

Well, here it is saturday again. Boy, the weekends seem to fly by. I spent friday night stitching along with http://http//letsstitch.blogspot.com/ SAT. I worked on Just Nan's Ice Garden again. Got a little bit more done on it, but still have a ways to go.

All that white stitching was getting to me, so this morning I pulled out JBW's Christmas Purse chart and took it to my son's soccer game with me. I guess I needed a bit of color in my life. I don't have the called for threads, but have subsituted DMC's red variagted thread instead. I think it looks very nice. This should be a quick stitch up....hmmm possibly a Happy Dance this weekend. Hopefully.

On another note...I just learned that I was picked to be part of Clara's PIF from her blog http://http://threadpainter.blogspot.com/. This is my first time participating in a PIF. Here is how it works.

If you would like something handmade by me, just leave a comment on this post and on my birthday, December 9th I will draw 3 names. Then, within the next 365 days, each one chosen will receive something handmade by me. All I ask in return is that each person chosen make the same offer on their blog. This is a wondeful way to spread some happiness throughout the stitching community. I hope you join me in this.

Till Next Time

Susan
