Thanks Peggy & stitching pics & Scarlett...






I won a give away from Peggy and recieved my package in the mail Monday!! Thank you so much Peggy for the great stash and "frog" :) I've been looking for one forever and can't find one and this one is beautiful; I proudly have it displayed on the table by my stitching chair. You were so generous....

I've been stitching on two projects; I've never done this (have 2 out at the same time) but find it's sure fun; the Rose is for my mom for Mother's Day; I put her mom's initials and the year she was born on it; I really love how the Iris WDW looks on this material. And the Simple Joys is sure pretty; I love the colours in it; I'm jumping around a lot on this one; it's something I've never done either but I love seeing how the different colours look :). I ordered a pretty big order from Stitching Bits and Bobs over a week ago and called and asked her when it was going to be shipped; she said one of the patterns were on back order and it was "suppose" to be in either yesterday or today and it'd ship then; so we'll see. I love 123 Stitch; I always get my orders in 2-4 days after I place my order. Patience isn't my strongest virtue. LOL

I've just been spending time w/Ash & Torry & Scarlett; he leaves for Germany on Saturday; they (Army) won't let the girls go until he gets housing which could take up to 3 months. I don't mind; I love having them here a little longer. They bought their first new car while he's been home; a 2010 Kia Forte; it's a very nice car and I'm going to be buying a new car this next month and am seriously thinking of buying one of them. Only I want the dark charcoal grey colour; they have it in white; I have a white chevy Malibu and don't want another white car. Thank you again Peggy; I just love the stash; I don't have any of the charts you sent and love the threads and these are my first "hat pins" :) I'm getting close to 100 followers and when I get there I'm going to have another give away!! Take care...
