I'm back.......

Hello all my dear friends in Bloggerland...... I am back after a much needed rest and I am hoping I am remembered!!!!! It's been a bit crazy here and I will not bore you with all of the details.... Let's just say I am healthy and relatively migraine free and on the road to being blonde again!!!!! I did start with an amazing chiropractor and that has helped immensely!!!!!

The first picture is a finish that I'm not sure I posted prior to my hiatus.....It's Good to Be Queen© NotForgotten Farms ....can't recall the fabric.....

Next is another finish.....Quaker Samplings 1 © With My Needle done on Light Exemplar 32ct with DMC 926. And this was done in memory of my sister with the thread being her birthday I put her initials in  instead of mine!!!! This was a pleasure to work on!!!!

The next finish is The Queen's Crowns © Plum Street Samplers finished in a mere 2 weeks!!!!! I adored working this one! I did this one on Vintage Light Exemplar 36ct with the recommended threads!!!!! I signed and dated it under my 2 favorite crowns!!!!

And yes there is more.....Hope © Praiseworthy Stitches.....This was my Janury 1st start......the fabric is Dill 32ct by PTplus Fabrics. And next is a present for someone dear.....she doesn't read my blog so I'm safe in posting but I will leave it a mystery just in case.... And lastly the start of Shakespeare's Fairies © Mirabilia...done on Swampwater © PtPlus Fabric...I just love that name!!!!! And I'm pretty sure the picture is upside down.......

That just about does it for now and I know there are more works in progress that will be posted as they become more vocal........one that just about shouted at me was Nantucket Summer Sampler © By The Bay Needleart ...and since it's summer it seems appropriate to be stitching it!!!!!! Once again my rotation seems to be what calls the loudest......I have 2 more special ones that i will post in the next few days along with the new blonder me!!!!!

I am grateful for feeling better and stitching.....

May your needle fly through your fabric.........

Is it February already?????

Hello all ! I have been missing this space and have no good reason at all except that I am stitching and when not stitching working! But thankfully no migraines! I almost feel like blaming Facebook......but I will take responsibility and say I've just not been here!

Here is my second finish for 2010 The Bird Keeper © The Good Huswife! I subsituted Splendor silks for the NPI silks it callled for and adore her...I named her Aunt Rose after hubby said it reminded him of  his Aunt Rose. All in all about 2 weeks stitching!!!!

Here are a few of the things I'm working on.......QuakerSamplings 1 © With My Needle done with DMC 926 on 32ct Vintage Exemplar

Next is Hope © Praiseworthy StitchesAnd Paris Quaker © Jardin Prive on 40ct Vintage Exemplar with a Gentle arts thread..I think Dusty Rose

And last but not least LHN © silk threadpak Cinderella on 40ct Vintage Exemplar ! All three will be on one piece!!!!

I'm off to take a quick nap before company for dinner.......and to fight off this migraine that's trying to sneak in and ruin my 3 weeks with no migraine to which I say BEGONE............

Oh and  I've picked up Hallowe'en Queen again so I will soon have another update! I do solemnly promise this!!!!!!

First post first finish

I am still beyond tired! But I wanted to wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year !!!!! And may all your dreams, wishes and most of all hopes be fulfilled in the new year. I especially believe in Hope.....since without it we truly have nothing. I learned that a long time ago. Hope gives us someting to hold onto and we must never take ones hope away! And one last one for all of the stitchers out there may we have all the time we want and need and then some to stitch to our heart's content and all the stash of course to stitch!!!!
