A Great SAL for Christmas!!!!

Gentle Friends I wanted to thank you all for your kind comments - as usual they are warm hugs on a cold and damp morning!!  I also wanted to welcome my new Followers and hope you find something interesting here on my little Blog - as always the more the merrier!!

Not too much going on here - it seems that every evening I find myself drifting off in my stitching chair and not getting much done in the way of stitching - although the little bits I am getting done are on ATS, I don't feel enough is stitched to warrant a snaperoo - if you can believe that!!  :)  So I'll post a snap next week after some progress is made this weekend.

I did want to mention on today post a wonderful Christmas SAL I bumped into surfing the Blogs yesterday.  Created by a very talented stitcher named Erynne over at Stitcheree! - it is called Merry and Bright and has totally sucked me in wanting to make a start!  


Last night I even dug through the pile of frames I have and found a super silver leaf one that would fit this perfectly!!  So now, even though I have a pile of Holiday stitching I want to start and ATS  I am wanting to finish up by the end of the year.... I am thinking I will pull together the floss and linen and make a lovely start of this super piece!!

That's about it for today sports fans, thanks for stopping by have a great weekend!!!

Take care,
edgar

  15. Had a bit of catching up to do with blogs...been a week or two since I read...and I have been thinking of you - SF is here in DEtroit (near where I live) and I have been a huge TIGER fan my whole life...

    Your finishing on the Halloween exchange is fabulous - love the matching purple paint. Have been on the lookout for the candy corn oreos - checking Target stores all over - and for the month or so I have been looking, haven't found them - bummer!!

    I agree "Marigold Hotel" was a good flick - saw it with my Mom at the theater...Belated Happy Birthday too!

    ATS looking great - can't wait to see "Baby It's Cold Outside"!

    Happy Halloween...
