Last year my friend Sara had a witch in tiny crochet.  She had lingered on my mind... Then recently she showed a tiny mermaid.  Couldn't stand it any longer!  I placed my order, and within days see what was in my mailbox! Link over to her facebook page Triple S Crafts, to see this and other things she does.  

 

Today is my DS birthday.  Our family tradition is that the person gets to choose their favorite meal.  We're having what we lovingly dubbed, A Pot.  It already has multiple names... Seafood Boil, Low-Country Boil, Frogmore Stew, and on and on.  Ours has crab legs, shrimp, red potatoes, corn, with spices and hot sauce.  Yummmm - getting hungry just thinking about it.  And his cake of choice - Pumpkin Bundt.  

Hope everyone is staying cool and getting in a lot of stitching, sewing, punching, or any of your other favorite things to do.  

Peace * Love * Joy

A little posting

Hey, Friends!

Barbara over at To Stitch or Not to Stitch is starting a blog for folks to publish their stash – for trade or for sale – or what they’d like to find.  Take a look to see if you’d like to join or publish there.
Do you subscribe to Just Cross Stitch?  I stopped mine and decided to just pick up the ones I want.  Yesterday I stopped by my LNS and they had one waiting for me.  It’s the July/August edition, also known as the Christmas Ornament Preview. There are not 20 ornaments, a few are patriotic designs.  Some are cute and I hope to get a few stitched.

 Have you seen that Karen (‘s Handiwork) is having what she calls Throwback Thursday?  It’s very interesting to see some of the projects she stitched “in the beginning” and where she is today!  Have a look at her Americana smalls, too.  Her needle has been blazing!

Mine hasn’t been blazing, but getting a bit of workout.  BoaF Green Santa was the finish of the week.  The final one is Gold… but there’s something in the Q-S now that will probably take a little while…  and there are a few other smalls I’d like to get done as well.  We’ll see what happens!

Thanks for stopping by, today and always.  I appreciate your thoughts and comments!

I'm grateful for finding an old project in the mass confusion of my craft room!

PeaceëLoveëJoy
and Happy Stitching
