Daffycat's Giveaway

So many great people doing so many giveaways on their blogs.
The most recent one I have entered is on Daffycat's blog. She is giving away either evenweave or aida hand dyed pieces that are just beautiful.

I will be doing a giveaway later in the week as well. Gotta figure out the items for it (and as it's Sunday and I'm working :( I need to find the time too).

Coming up tomorrow or tuesday: my new start on the rubber ducky (just gotta get around to taking some pictures).

A Finish!

Well I made it. Sleep Tight is complete and ready to be framed for my cousin's baby who will hopefully join us in the world in a few weeks time. I'm always a touch nervous about stitching items ahead of the baby being born just because it seems like you're just asking for trouble... but I am hopeful that all will be fine.
So here it is!




Coming up: I will have a new start to show you after the weekend, it is a rubber ducky for a friend's bathroom. And I hope to keep working on the Papillon SAL. And should really get some stitches into Judgement. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Exchange from Dianne!

I received my exchange from Dianne the other day! :)
It's so wonderful. There are these cute tiny needles that I can't wait to try out on my confetti stitching and lots of great colours. She also threw in some neat spices from Texas, how cool!
She also included one of the magnetic needle holders. I have two of these but actually needed another one for my third box project so that was so awesome!
Thanks again Dianne!



I have been diligently working on Sleep Tight and am one night away from having it done but a few things got in the way. I got a call last night that my guitar was *finally* in, after six weeks of waiting. So played that for a bit last night. I am learning how to play and now appreciate how tough it is!
In other news... we won some playoff hockey tickets last night for the Calgary Flames. So we're off to playoff hockey tonight which is very exciting as they are impossible to get.
Hopefully my next post will be a finish for Sleep Tight.
