Hello, I am still here!!

Okay, I have not blogged in a month.  The month of May always seems to just fly by, this year was no exception.  It is always busy at the kids schools.  I had book fair, field trips, PVO meetings, Box Tops contest, parties, teacher gifts, hubby graduating with a MA, family visits, vet visits, and we cannot forget the flood.  Yes, we received enough rain in May (13.4 inches) to bust a 5 year drought.  The month started with the combined lake levels around 20% and ended with them overflowing.  Our prayers were answered.  Now I have no excuse not to spruce up the yard.

I did manage on finish in May for Q4OAC, a lovely heart that I stitched in a blush pink color.  It was #53 on my SOCal Debbie CJC for 2015, so glad to have one more stitched up on the list.  I have a few more that are close to complete that I hope to share real soon.  Pardon my not so great phone photo -- but I was in a hurray to get it in the mail.

Enjoy!! CJ

LHN Winter Sampler

I have finished stitching Little House Needleworks, Winter Sampler from the December 2009 Just Cross Stitch.  I started this as part of my Crazy January Challenge on coffee dyed Monaco, but changed to natural because I did not like the contrast of the coffee color and the floss.

LHN Finish and Giveaway

After having a month long, blog drought I am back with a Little House Needlework finish for April.  Hopefully I can squeeze one more finish in this weekend, but I need to make cards.

Here is "He's a Flake" from the "All Dolled Up" collection.  For some reason the start of this little project did not make it on to my blog.  I am sure I started working on in in February when I made a stash purchase from 123stitch.

Sampler Winter Finished

I have another CJC finish to share with you, Sampler Winter by Marika Belfiori.  I did make a few changes, I left off the stars and I backstitched the snowman's face and the ball on the hat to make them standout.  This makes 6 finished of my original 15 CJC 2014 starts.  I have more new projects to share with you later.  As a friend recently said, stitching is all about the journey--she is so right.
