New Finish and Snips N Snails Update

I joined a secret Freebie Kit-up exchange at Jaynes Attic and I recieved mine from my partner this past friday. I thought it was so cute! Its a freebie from the Rainbow Gallery and my partner sent me evenweave, Six Strand sweets to stitch it with, a charm, some ribbon and fabric. I was so excited that I already stitched it. I don't even know if I was supposed to even open it yet, but anyways here's my finish.


So then I finished that one and kept going on my stocking. So here's my progress pic.

Snips N Snails Start

When I first started cross stitch at 17, I always said that one year I would cross stitch a Christmas stocking for everyone in my household. That means I have to do four of them. Well, a couple of weeks ago, I headed into a consignment store looking for something particular and I walked out with a binder full of "Cross Stitch and Country" magazines. I was so happy!! In there, there are three stockings that I need to stitch. The first one will be for my son, the second one will be for my husband, then my mom and then mine. This is the start of the first stocking. I started it two days ago. The chart is hard to read (small symbols) but its been fun so far. I'm loving it.

And this is what its gonna look like!

Happy Dance "Welcome" finish

I finished "Welcome." I'm so happy that it turned out really cute. I almost want to keep it for myself but I think my best friend's mom might like it too.


This is just a closeup of some of the pretty details. I loved all the bright colors. I hope she likes it.

My first day being 27!!

First of all...thanks to all the people that left me a gift. It was fun to see what my online friends wanted to give me. Thanks Friends!!

I had fun on my birthday! We went to eat with some family and had some chocolate cake. My mom had me go the local Michael's craft store and pick out some floss that I needed and a box to store my growing collection of floss finally. My husband had already given me a gift last week. He bought me a Solia hair straightener. By the way, for anyone looking for a good straightener. I think its the best. 2nd in consumer reviews. Thanks Ernest...I love it and I love you!!!! I'm currently stitching a gift for a friend's mom. I'm almost done with it. This is the one,but not my progress picture. I have to charge the batteries in my camera to be able to take a picture.

Another Year Older....

Can you leave a gift for me? Put me on your list of blogs to read too. I need all the friends I can get. :-)
