Some Sad News, Weekend Stitching and Some Mail

I just finished reading Daffycat's post about Yoyo, who use to have the Dragon My Needle blog and was the original host of  the Totally Useless SAL.   This wonderful stitcher and blogger suffered a stroke and can no longer stitch or blog.  I often thought about her since her blog disappeared and I want to wish her all the best.

((((Yoyo))))

Shelleen of Queen Stitcher recently started another blog - Weekend Stitch-A-Thon where members can post their weekend stitching pictures.  I joined on Friday and here is what I stitched on this weekend.  The first is something I just started on Friday and is called Sew Scissors.  It is available here.

I am making a display of my assorted embroidery scissors in flower frogs and what to make this as part of the display.  I am thinking of finishing it off as a flat fold.

The other two pieces are 2 charts I started during the Crazy January Challenge - Red House in Winter from Little House Needleworks and Merry Christmas by Waxing Moon Designs.   They are almost finished and I will be so happy to cross them off my list

Last week I received two more flower frogs to add to my collection (a BIG 3 now).  The first one to arrive was a pale green one and on Friday I got a nice large clear glass one.

I also received my May SEP package from Traditonal Stitches last week which included the lovely piece of 32 count Cream linen from Weberei Weddigen in Germany that I am using for my Sew Scissors.   And from Down Sunshine Lane I received the 4th 2011 Ornament from Little House Needleworks - Gingerbread Village.

That is it for now!!!!!!!!!!!   Take care and Happy Stitching!!!!!!!!!!1

Day 11 & 12 - Crazy January Challenge 2011

I was too tired last night to do a post, so before it gets to late and I get another day behind I going to stop stitching and start posting. As I mentioned the other day I will be stitching the LHN's 2010 Ornaments of the Month for the rest of the challenge. Yesterday I worked on the "Red House in Winter". I didn't get as much done as I would of like. I think I spent too much time on the internet.

Today I stitched on the "The Merry Skater". I stayed away from the computer and made pretty good progress on it, if I do say so myself.


The challenge is coming to an end soon (3 more days) and I really enjoyed participating in it. I pulled out a few charts that have waiting for ages to be started and I am really happy about that. It is going to be a fantastic stitching year. Right!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for all your lovely comments. It's nice to know I am not just talking to myself at times : D.

Take care and happy stitching!!!!!!!!!!!!
