A Stitching Day

 

A day off and I spent it working on one of my UFOs.  I got some done.  This is from a designer from the internet.  She has a blog and I printed it out probably last spring.  I love the flowers and the bunnies. 

This piece is my first finish of 2011.  I am part of an exchange with Lizzie Kate patterns.  I thought the saying was pretty cool.  I found the fabric at one of the JoAnns near my town.  I tried to mix it up a bit with the checker board ribbon.  I know she recieved it so I can post it here.  I had fun stitching this.  I used the Weeks Dye Works colors that were called for in the pattern.  My exchange partner said that she put it in her kitchen.

Cooking Cashew Chicken/ A Giveaway Winner

This is what I cooked tonight.  It was really easy to make.  It was kinda blah, but that's okay.  It looked really good on the cover of the box.  Maybe it will taste better tomorrow.  I love leftovers. 
About the giveaway.  I WON!!  I usually do not win.  It was the Valentine giveaway that I posted on my blog a couple of days ago.  I am psyched.  My beautiful cross stitch from the exchange and the giveaway.  Best valentine day in a looong time.

Lizzie Kate Exchange

I sent out my Lizzie Kate exchange piece today.  I hope my partner likes it.  It is my first finish of 2011.  I will post a picture as soon as it gets to its destination.

I have started a new book, "Swamplandia!"  So far it's pretty good.  I have started reading right before going to bed.  It seems to help me relax.  Hope everyone has a great weekend.  It's suppose to be in the middle 30s.  Woohoo.
Take care.

Happy Valentines Day to me.

I am in a Lizzie Kate Exchange group.  This is the wonderful piece that I recieved today.  This was stitched by Sharlene.  In her little note that she sent me  "This was hard to give up".  I can totally agree.  I am over the hill over this one. You cannot really see very well but the stitched piece is on another fabric piece.  It has dimension.  I have not seen a piece finished like this before.  Thank you so much.
