For women everywhere...

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and there will be over 200,000 new cases of breast cancer this year in the U.S. Breast cancer is the second deadliest cancer in women (behind lung cancer). Women can  and do survive breast cancer but early detection, awareness and treatment is important. More information can be found on this sites.

Neighborhood update...

I am actually making some progress on Little House Neighborhood by Little House Needleworks and I'm really enjoying it. My first house is almost complete as you can see. I substituted Wood Smoke by GAST for DMC 3032 and Maple Syrup by GAST for DMC 3790.

New from CCN

New from Country Cottage Needleworks...the Garden Party Thread Packs. Each pack contains the chart and cotton floss from Crescent Colours.

October - Dragonfly

November - Bumblebee

This says it all...

While shopping at Cross My Heart - Columbus Ohio  I spotted this piece. Guess a picture is really worth a thousand words. I took the picture with my cellphone camera and forgot I had it.

WIPs update

This weekend I was able to add the latest installments to two of my mystery samplers.

Quilted Bellpull

I originally stitched these Lizzie*Kate Stamps back in 2005 and finally got around to having them finished. As you can see my friend Liz did a spectacular job finishing them into a gorgeous quilted bell pull. She chose the fabrics to highlight the floss colors I used and did a wonderful job matching them up. I am just thrilled beyond words with what she accomplished. THANK YOU Liz, you rock girl!
