Updated Giveaway Photo, Jane and Titus

Hello again!!

As promised, I have gathered a few more items for my giveaway today and have taken a new photo. There are still a few little things left to add but that will have to wait until next week when I hit up Michael's.  Thank you all for entering my giveaway.  It's been fun to read everyone's comments about their first stitches and/or their first blog posts.  I noticed that the majority of us, have given our first stitches to our moms.  Our lovely moms who would say nothing less than "It's the most beautiful, precious gift I have ever received!!! I will treasure it always!!" For most of our moms, I'm sure our first stitches are still on display!

I just had to take this photo of Titus lying on my giveaway stuff as I was prepping it for a photo.  Sorry if you see a spot of fur on your items! I will try my best to get all Titus fluff off!!!

Oh my darling fluffy boy!!! I had to roll him off after this photo! Literally!!!!

Giveaway Disclaimer:

Titus will NOT, I repeat, NOT be included in the giveaway! Sorry everyone!!

Updated Giveaway Photo!!

The linen is 32 count Natural Linen.  I really love natural linen and hope you do too!!

Close up of this lovely, adorable fabric I found! Isn't it the sweetest?!?!!!

It's a sort of soft pea green, not as beige like the photo.  You will have to take my word on it!

Oh and I stitched the other part of the bee scissor fob!

Other than the DMC threads I need to pick up and a couple of other treats, oh and of course finishing the fob, these are all the lovely items you can win!

Onto some stitching news.  After long days of transit and teaching, I come home fairly tired but have managed to add at least a 1/2 hour to an hour of stitching.  I have had to frog the vase on Jane Philpott, but after that....HE HASN'T VISITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know the guy I'm talkin' about, that B*****D Frog!!!!

That vase and flower is massive.  It's larger than my hand!! I'm pretty excited about finishing up the corner so I can focus on the right hand side of the sampler! I need to work the border in a certain way because I had to add a stitch on the right to fix a mistake earlier on.  I am really hoping and crossing my fingers that they will match up.

I've been mulling about what to do with my Knotgarden.  I made the scrolls, but the holes for the screws aren't further enough in, so I had to take pliers and try and force them in which made the screws off kilter thereby making the scroll rods off too.  It's a long story, but the best option I have is to find out from Michael's if they have longer scroll rods. So here's my wee start on Knotgarden!

I've been uber behind on the blog posts! So sorry! I hit quite a few this morning and hope to do some more tonight and tomorrow!!!

A toast to all of you!

This is my Caribou look that I tend to sport when I drink a Caribou beer, made in Prince George, my hometown! Represent PG!!!!! Although in this photo I'm holding my sample of iced cider from Quebec.  Truly a lovely drink! I had a lot of fun sampling all sorts of liquors and liqueurs! But the headache I had afterward was not so fun!

Big Hugs to all.
