A Finish, a Start, an Exchange and a Gift-a-Way Drawing

Gentle Readers and Dear Friends - the post title tells all - this will be a stitchity post if there ever was one. Sometimes I find myself babbling along with not a bit a stitching.  It was because of cross stitching that I started this Blog and I really feel bad about not having more stitching stuff.  Oh well - it is what it is and I do what I can do - so enough of that - on to the post.....
__________

First up, I wanted to post about a  finish I had on Friday evening.  I wasn't going to finish this piece so quickly but it was the one of the pieces I took on vacation with me and it was such a fun stitch.  Here is a snap..


of the top half - and here is another snap...


of the bottom half - and here is an overall snaperoo...

LHN Monthly Squares stitched as one sampler - 32ct PTP Earthen 
Recommended Floss (mostly)
1/18/11 - 6/17/11

If you remember I was doing these squares - one each month, but that fell to the wayside quickly as these squares work up fast and are fun to do!!  I threw in some decorative stitches here and there and changed colours where I thought they needed changing, but mostly I followed the charts as charted - sort of.
__________

I couldn't let my hands fall still and lord knows I certainly couldn't dig out a WIP so I started up the "Mystery Sampler" and here is the small amount of stitching I have gotten done....


I am loving the colour choices on this piece!!
_________

The "HOE Snowman Ornament" round piece made it to my partner, Lisa.  
Here is a snap of what I made for her...


For some reason I had the hardest time getting any kind of decent snap of this piece.  It is from the JCS 2008 Ornament Issue and is called "Let it Snow" by CCN.  I used mostly the called for floss - a cute piece, that I may have to stitch up for myself.
_________


Now to the Gift-a-Way Drawing - The "LHN Monthly Charts" where a wonderful win from Ma Teakettle and I loved getting them and the stitching was super de duper - I think it only fair that I now pass on these lovelies to some other lucky person.  If you would like the set of six charts -  all you have to do is post a comment on this post only - and mention in that comment that you would like to be in the drawing - that's it - so simple.  I will mail them to the winner anywhere in the world, so if you can receive mail - you can enter - no fuss no muss (I wonder what muss is??)  I will get the Hag Claw to draw a winner from the BOD (Bowl of Destiny)over the weekend - the last day to enter will be this Friday 6/24. - I will announce the winner on Monday - 6/27.
__________

That's about it for today sports fans.  Thanks for stopping by!!

Take care,
edgar

    The calendar square sampler is perfect. I would love the chance to win the patterns. I also have a question, what color fabric are you using for the Mystery Sampler? I ordered a kit with the Weeks floss, and it came with the called for Confederate Grapy fabric, and I am just not sure if I like the way it looks. But I do like your picture.

    Many thanks and happy stitching,

    Sharon

    What a great stitching post! The LHN calender squares are great. Love the start on the mystery sampler, lovely colours. I considered doing this one myself, but I have more than enough to keep me going without buying more,and anyway I have just ordered some stash - BBD's Honeysuckle Manor and Summer Iris. Anyhow, I look forward to seeing your sampler grow. Cute ornament too.

    Beautiful finish on the LHN monthly squares! Please enter me in the drawing.

    Why dig out a WIP when you can start something new--that's my motto, too.

    I LOVE your monthly squares piece!!! Your stitching is superb as always! If I had them I would do them the same way, all on one piece.
    I would love to be entered in your drawing ;)

    Thank You so much again for the "Let It Snow" ornament!! I LOVE it!

    Thanks for being a stitching inspiration for the past four years. I admired the LHN squares and am thrilled that you are offering the drawing. Your sports fans comment is still funny.
