I apologize, I have no stitching photos today. It has been a crazy week (so many ups and downs), between the BF's uncle being a wicked car wreck (he is okay, but really banged up), finding out my BFF is probably moving to the Netherlands for sure this summer, a review at work that was so messed up I can't even describe it, and coming to the realization that we will likely not make it to New York as planned as we just don't have the funds (and the BF's car is broken... again). Let's just say I didn't get a lot of stitching done and just haven't had a lot of patience.
But there were really good things too... one of my maps that I design is going to be on display in large format at the Olympics in Vancouver, very cool. And I got my hands on a pattern for free no less, that I have loved forever a discontinued by HAED called "Eternal Promise" by Matt Stewart (it's Arwen and Aragorn from the LOTR) it's just lovely!
Also amoungst the craziness of my week I am thankful for all the things I do have. My amazing BF, a roof over my head, great friends and of course stitching! I know others have had way worse weeks for sure than I have. I just feel like I'm on a roller coaster and am ready for it to slow down a bit.
Okay enough of my whining that is for sure...
We put all the names down, gave them a random number and the BF picked number 16. Which is... *drum roll*
Katrien!
Congrats my friend! I have sent you an email but if you don't get it please feel free to email me (from my email in my profile) so I can get your addy.
Tonight I am looking forward to stitching all night, and catching up on American Idol and Vampire Diaries. Tomorrow we have to move the BIL. *ugh* but then Sunday I get to go on a special trip to my LNS. So that will be awesome.
Happy stitching to everyone and thank you so much for making this blog a success. I love communicating with everyone and have realized that I have made some amazing friends because of the online stitching world. So hugs and thanks to all.
And don't worry more giveaways to come in the future if you didn't win this round, there will be more chances! :)
Stitching and reading; all on epic proportions. From giant projects and thick books to many works in progress and over 100 books read a year!

Congratulations on one of your Maps being displayed at the Olympics. That's awesome. I'm sorry that things have been so rough, but along with the bad comes good and things will hopefully get better for you soon!

The best way to slow down is to sit and stitch and because of my new little HEAD chart we will stitch together again! Doesn't that get you excited?
Congratulations to Katrien!

Remember that it's always darkest before the dawn and that light at the end of the tunnel isn't a train, it's all of us hold candles to light the way out of the darkness of your bad week.
P.S. Do you have a pic of the map that is going to be on display? Would love to see it.
