Thank You for all your Kind Comments ~

Thank you so much for all your kind comments regarding my last post.  I didn't mean to insinuate that I was going to quit blogging, just was wondering if I was the only one who was noticing a change.  I think I have a lot of blah, blah, blah left in me . . . lol :)  I would have liked to personally respond to many of you, but I'm still having email issues.  Last night I spent another hour and forty five minutes on the phone.  UGH.  Hopefully with the advice I received I will be able to reload the program (well, actually have DSO do it) and finally have a resolution to my issues. 

Still nothing on the hooking frame, and since I am going on vacation next week, there probably won't be until after returning home.  I have been working on my first penny rug and even though my stitches aren't perfect and some of my pennies are just a bit wonky and off-center, I absolutely LOVE how it is coming out.  The best part is that once the pennies are sewn on, it is D-O-N-E :)  No binding to sew on.  Nothing left to do but enjoy.  I am going to take pennies to stitch on the plane (commercial, not DSO's).  I also purchased a couple cross stitch patterns from Tina Woltman, Early America, the 1815 Shoppe, so will probably get one of those ready to stitch, too.  You can find her patterns on her Picture Trail.  I'd go stir crazy if I didn't have something to work on.

So close

Debbie over at Woolen Sails often offers her patterns in give-aways and I was a recent lucky winner.  I chose her antique cat pattern.  What a generous soul.  Thank you so much, Debbie :)

Has anyone tried this?

 

 

I ate the whole thing - alone - in just a few days.  No willpower . . . sigh . . . but it was worth it.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Pug hugs :)
