Contest Winner

I want to thank everyone who took the time to try to help me and enter my contest. The one that struck a 'chord' in me when I read it was "Words To Live By." There were 2 entries with this name on it. I put both names on a piece of paper, shook them up and DH drew a name. The winner is Patricia from Canada. I am going now to email the chart to her. This chart should be available very soon on my website for sale. Thanks for your interest. I really do appreciate it.

God Bless

You haven't seen any of my cross stitch lately. I've been knitting a one piece with a hood. Sigh... it will be a long time before I do it again. I SO missed my cross stitch!!!

Stitchy Update

I have been KNITTING feverisly trying to finish a onesie with a hood before my youngest has her baby on the 28th. Soooooooooo I haven't been doing much cross stitching and I miss it terribly! I did, however, design an ornament which I just couldn't resist and stitched up quickly. Here it is, although the picture doesn't do it justice. The red seed beads I added to the outer backstitching sparkle in the lights. It's so pretty. Thank you Iris for sending me the 2 colors of floss in your Christmas card which inspired this! :)



The chart for this is available on the Blueladie Designs website.

I hope you all have a happy stitchy Christmas!!!
