Weekly Update

I don't have any photos of my stitching to share this week because my projects are for two exchanges which I'd like my partners to see first. I worked on one while with my stitching group yesterday and I made some great progress on it. Thanks to the gals for the inspiration.

Speaking of thanks I want to give out a B-I-G thanks to Brenda (Brenda Lou's Place) for her generosity. I was admiring her progress on the Prairie Schooler alphabet when she so graciously offered me her charts. I got these six in the mail from her. THANKS Brenda.

And last my not least I got the much anticipated Just Cross Stitch 2009 Ornament issue in the mail. I've already looked through it a few times and there are definitely a few I will stitch soon. Now to make my trusty list, pick out fabric and gather some floss.

New finish

Feels good to actually complete a cross stitch piece. This is Flag 1998 by Bent Creek which I did as a SAL with the gals of the BC_HIH_Trilogy Yahoo group.

Bedroom Makeover complete

Our new bed was delivered on Friday ending our six week makeover project to our bedroom. I'm just loving the new bed, new paint, and new flat screen TV (a birthday present from my husband). I have posted complete photos at:

In Remembrance

The September 11 attacks were a series of coordinated attacks by terrorists on the U.S. On the morning of September 11, 2001 four commercial passenger airlines were hijacked. Two of them were crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in NYC and the buildings collapsed. The third one crashed into the Pentagon in Virginia and the 4th crashed into a field in rural Pennsylvania. There were no survivors from any of the flights. In total 2,993 died on that day. Let's remember them today.
