The Winner of my last Giveaway

is Faith N.  Congratulations Faith (she has already contacted me).  For all you newsletter subscribers out there (Blueladie Designs) you know this because I've sent out my newsletter this morning.  Faith chose the Lizzie Kate "Christmas Rules".  I know she will enjoy it.  I did.  Which reminds me I have to hurry up and stitch a hem in the piece so I can hang it on my bedroom doorway.  :)

Hope your days are pleasant as we enter the holiday seasons.  I know I feel perky already and looking forward to many good things.  Thank you God for these blessings and....

Stitching Update

Hi all,
this has been a time of highs and lows for me stitching wise.  I've finished 3 months of Raise the Roof Design's "Crabby All Year" (July, August and September respectively).

July

August

September

These are the highs.  They are relatively easy and I can't believe this SAL is almost finished.  Only three more months to go.

Now for the lows.  I eagerly awaited and started Little House Needleworks "Around the World in 80 Days".  There were a few errors I picked up on this chart on the website and noted them.  I stitched and got so far - (see picture)

The grassy area on the right underneath the right house is supposed to be a light green (per the chart picture).  It calls for Crescent Colors "Desert Mesquite" and that just did not turn out a light green.  Believe me if the stitched piece looked like the picture, I wouldn't frog as I have decided to do.  However, the stitched piece it's hard to see the flowers and the people so frogging agony here I come.  I'll have to try to find some light green that would closely match the picture.  I am so disappointed.  :(

Thanks for stopping by and bearing with me as I whine.
