Feather Fairy and much much more....

First let me say Congratulations to the N.Y. Giants and Eli Manning for an unbelieveably exciting game!!!! They played so hard and so well!!!! I am completely thrilled for them!!!! And my hubby is over the moon about the upset!!!! He was on his feet for most of the game!!!!!!

Let's see where do I begin..... next is a completed picture of the framed Bless birth sampler its a neon green metallic frame and I think it's perfect!!!! My cousin said she wasn't into the traditional pinks and blues and I do believe she'lll love it!!!!!

Next is a WIP that I picked up again.... Feather Fairy by Mirabilia. Here is the picture from the chart
And here is my progress picture before I picked it up again last wednesday.....

I have another progress picture of my "C" and it really is working up quickly.......

I do have a confession to make I am the least organized person when it comes to my ever growing stash but unfortunately I don't have any pictures to illustrate my point. But I did sit down one afternoon last week as I was looking for some DMC thread and finally got aggravated enough to organize! I will also admit I've had these baskets for about 6-8 months or so...... Here is how it looks now... quite a bit better!!!! And I still have a bin in the closet to go through.....wish me luck with that. I am planning on doing that bin sometime this week....

I have cleaned up my sidebar as well so if you don't see your blog listed be assured it's in my google reader....And I've added a poll for my first HAED QS to start so please vote if you'd like! Unfortunately they didn't let me list the pictures as I wanted too.

I hope to have a picture of my framed Christmas Elf Fairy this week as well. My framer has been waiting for the specially ordered frame since before Christmas. I do plan on keeping her up year round. I just really want her home!

Let me close with a picture of my furbaby Storm... Who is missing her uncle and can't wait for his visit in a couple of weeks!!!! Oh and if I'm scarce it's simply because my mother is here and I'm not getting as much time as usual on the computer. But Storm is enjoying the added attention and occasional treat..... As a matter of fact I had been planning this post as my finish to January posting and you see it's now February's first post...best laid plans and all....

I am grateful for the N. Y. Giants win today!!!!!!!!!

First finish.....

Well I've been meaning to sit down and write this post for at least 2 days now but have been feeling really tired and I have found that I can't sit for long periods of time so my computer time is limited. I went to stitching group last wednesday and had great fun but it truly wore me out. Who would of thought a little surgery would do that LOL. Margaret my dear I am ever so grateful that you drove me. We have such a great group of stitchers that I wouldn't have missed it another week!!!!! Which reminds me to thank all of you that have wished me well.... I have learned to pace myself and am resting lots and lots!!!

I have kept up with my blog reading though......I'd first like to post a long overdue picture of my puppy Storm who is taking very good care of me She is so very gentle with me! I truly think she knows I'm not feeling up to snuff! She is very protective these days......

But now onto the stitching stuff!!!! I have had my first 2008 finish!!!! It's a small piece that I've done for my 2nd cousin who just had a baby girl!!!! I wonder where the time has gone. She is very special to me since about the time of my sister's passing! We connected then and proceeded to spend 1 weekend a year together usually shopping and doing fun stuff in NYC! So this is for her and her baby . It was a quick stitch for me considering it took about 14 days including the time of my surgery. It is Bless Birth Sampler by Sisters and Best Friends!!! I added the moon charm that is on the "o" of the word moon. The other charms came with the chart. I really do love it and am taking it soon to be framed and then I can ship it on it's way to them.

I am grateful for the small things in life.....
