next to my cross stitch santas are my favorite things to work on :o)

Just thought I would pop in again to show you my christmas village , i have to admit to being proud of it as it was totally hand made by me and as i am not the most talented person :o)

Well take care

Hi Everyone

It has been a bit since I last wrote but was busywith craft sales that I was not on much, here is one of the things that I had done for the sales alas it is still with me though but I am sure it will make a nice gift for some one at some point :o) . Well I won't be such a stranger again at least till next year

Good Morning everyone , well here we are into Nov and it is still raining here , we had one day so far that was actually quite nice , On the good side at least it gives me a good excuse to sit and stitch and here is my latest it is a little bag that kids would love to use :o)

Good morning everyone . first off before I go on i have to admit to not knowing why this pic has shown up twice , (I really am not trying to show off lol with this one).This piece I did up for the fair in Sept to be put into be judged and i finally managed to come home with a first place at long last :o).I always try to out do myself at the fair and no one else ,so if I come in second or even third then that makes me look for that special piece that will out do the one before .

Well I guess that's all for the moment

Hi Everyone

I want to say thank you first for taking a look at my blog.I have never been one who thought my work was worth showing so I am
taking a biggggg leap here :o) .

Anyway a bit of about myself so you know
who you are reading about.

I am Cathy and been stitching for 18 years this month . i am also married to a terrific guy for 31 years this month as well so you can see that Oct seems to be a great month for me :o) .

My hobbies are cross stitching first and always , but then when I can get the pieces i also love to paint ceramics , and I am trying to teach myself to folk art paint ( I have done a small bit of that sort of painting ) and I am trying to teach myself to sew again I used to do that when our daughter was just a baby but with work and the cost of materials my sewing sort of got shoved to the back as they say .In the summer time I also love to putter around in my flower beds and once they are done I am able to sit out on my lawn swing and stitch where I can watch the hummimng birds while I stitch :o)

The first piece i have showing is a christmas tea towel that is done with metallics as well as DMC colours , the metallics really bring out the colour .

Well I guess that's it for now i look forward to showing more of my stitching
