A wee bit late for IHSW

Well if my camera won't cooperate this may be a pictureless post and that is not my intent. I took a bit longer to post simply because I have a finish!!!!!! I am thrilled!!! Heaven Above © Midsummer Nights Dream  is complete as of yesterday afternoon!!! I really want to post the pictures!! I love this piece!! Okay after much frustration we have pics....and all it took was a reboot.......last thing I would have thought of... Here are the pics... done on 40ct Vintage Pear linen. I made this a memory sampler by adding their initials.You can see it pic #4 and #6... I love it and it soothes me...

January IHSW

Hello all.....this month's IHSW was a bit of a bust for me and maybe I should not have signed up but I did....Have I mentioned that I abhor the word "should" it just implies regret to me and I honestly don't have any. I did work Friday and Saturday so I had grand plans of stitching when I got home but the only thing I did was fall sound asleep..too funny I know.....and that's with caffeine.

Since I finished the mermaids recently I thought what can I stitch then I found this gorgeous fabric at my LNS called Witches Brew and my love of Rose pixie © Mirabilia took hold.......so I started her on Thursday technically not IHSW

and here is the post picture with what I had accomplished by last night ......

I truly think I have Mermaid fever.....is that even possible .....I think it must be simply because Bluebeards Princess © Mirabilia sang her song and I have answered with a start as of tonight! She is just so pretty and I have the chart and fabric and basic threads so I say why wait! But to tell you an honesty it is not helping my WIPocalypse list at all! 

I keep re-editing this but I must add that I had the most lovely visit with Kathy  . It's so great meeting fellow stitchers and being able to share our addiction love of counted cross stitch! We started with lunch and then it was off to Stitcher's Paradise for stitching and stash enhancement !!! The wonderful ladies I stitch with each Wednesday had heard Kathy was coming so we were a group of 5 and it was such a fabulous time.....a bit like we'd all known each other forever! Well I'm off to the call of the Mermaid Princess...

Hi again

I know Im back after a mere few hours...... Its becoming familiar again to post which is a good thing since I really missed it!!!!  There's something familiar and comforting in sharing my love of stitching!!!

I am happy to annouce that I'll be taking part in my first ever IHSW!!!!!  .

I am so looking forward to a weekend of stitching I usually work saturdays but I am off both saturday and sunday!!!!! And I will be working on Mermaids of The Deep © Mirabilia with a color conversion...I affectionately refer to them as the sisters!!!!!!

So I'm off now to tea stitching and raisin cake!!!!! I had a lovely afternoon stitching with Joy , Megan , Michelle and Brenda!!!!!!! Thank you all for being such dear friends I am blessed that you are all in my life!!!!!
