Fairy Page 1


Well! I finished Page 1 of the fairy and only 5 more pages to go. A great friend of mine tells me the pencil marks will wash out and I sure hope so. On to the next page.

Needle Gnome

I had to make a trip to Brampton so while in the area I went over to the Needle Gnome in Acton. I was very good cause I just went in and purchased a yard of material and did not leave with any new projects to add to my stash. Normally I would purchase this in Brantford but that is not an option for me anymore.

Thunder Storm


Well! We had a thunder storm last night and two doors down from my house this tree fell across the road at about 7pm. Needless to say we lost our power and it finally came on at lunch time today. The worse part about this is it is really hard to stitch by candle light. How did people use to do this at night? That's my news up here in Barrie.

Moon Lit Waters (Fairy)

I was having a conversation with my daughter the other day and told her I was working on my Santa. She reminded me that I was going to do this fairy for her and she was hoping I would give it to her for Xmas. I did her brother and fiance one for Xmas last year and she says she doesn't have one. That part is wrong because I had made her quite a few when she was very small but haven't done anything in years for her. So needless to say I have put my Santa on hold and maybe one of these years I will get back to it. This will give Jayne time to catch up with her loones lol. This fairy is a Heaven and Earth one but it is in mini form so I should be able to finish it before Xmas. What is one more project on the go........

Back from retreat

Got to the retreat on Thursday and I managed to finish Page 5 of Long Winters Nap. The retreat was a wonderful weekend with lots of stitching and lots of laughing. I am very lucky to be associated with some extremely talented ladies with lots of wonderful stitching projects. Needless to say the weekend was a great time and I can't wait until we do it all again next year.

Don't like Sunday Nights

I am getting so I don't like Sunday's anymore. First off my hubby now works in Toronto so he has to go back to Toronto after supper on Sunday's. He is usually gone for 4 days and back on Thursday night. Needless to say it is pretty quiet her during the week. Also I usually have to go to work now on Monday's. This will be a short week this week and can hardly wait until Thursday to go to retreat.

Retreat time

It has been a very long time since I have posted to my blog. I was away in New Brunswick for a vacation for 3 weeks which was a great trip. I saw alot of my relatives that I haven't seen in 10 years or more. It was great to get caught up with everyone.
I have also started working part time so I don't have as much time to stitch as I use to. I haven't done alot of stitching lately but I am excited to go to the retreat and the other day I finally picked up Long Winters Nap again. I am going to take this to the retreat and I am also working on a small Noel with some birds on it. Needless to say I am excited to see all the stitching sisters that I haven't seen in a very long time, See you soon girls.
