Hi All,

A little more progress was made on the LHN piece today. I was hoping to work on another WIP tonight, specifically the Dachshund piece, BUT going into work at 3am this morning, is telling on me! I have been nodding for about 2 hours now! Guess it will truly be an early night! So much for watching the Nationwide Race!! Thank goodness for DVR's!!!

On another note...I purchased the O Canada chart today. I don't even live in Canada, but have always loved this piece! A very nice lady from the 123 MB sent me her color conversions also! I also recieved something from my wish list on 123. My GRITS pattern arrived yesterday! Thanks Patti!!

Ya'll Come Back Now, Ya Hear?!?!

LHN update


Hello,

Here's the progress on my LHN Ye Olde Coffee House. It's been a quick stitch so far! I plan on working on it some this weekend, and then back to more Soldier Kissing Pillows.

Went to Trader Joe's today with Mom. I just love that place! Also ate lunch at Jason's Deli. Great food. A really nice day all around!

That's all for now!

Happy Hump Day (almost)

Hi All,

I managed to get a few hours of stitching in tonight. I am currently working on a LHN piece called Ye Olde Coffee House. I am thinking of keeping this one for myself! I don't know exactly why, but I just fell in love with this one! I will post a WIP pic in the next day or two.

My start-itis has gone away, at least for now. I have two other WIP's going, but one is for Christmas, so I can't let that one hang for long, lol.

Thanks for dropping by! That's all for now!

Soldier Family Kissing Pillows


Hi All,


I am helping out with a project for the Evergreen chapter of EGA in Seattle Washington. They are making Soldier Family Kissing Pillows. A deploying soldier gives the pillow kisses and then leaves it with their children to keep until the parent comes home. I will complete a few more squares like this one and send them off to be finished into pillows!
