Nice dragon Debby!

I love this! I want to start it (and a couple others), but I'm determined no new starts until Puppy Love is finished. Keep the focus Debby! Finish Puppy Love and then enjoy a (or a couple) new starts! I've been working on some small xmas designs that have fulfilled my need for new starts but I real...

The third house is done:

Still loving it!

Looks great Serinde! I know it's not your cup of tea, er...I mean egg cup? haha, but it's wonderful.

This looks great and such a wonderful thing to volunteer to do! Nice work!

What a great find!

Glad to hear the vacation went well! Now you can get back to your stitching, once you catch up on sleep.

Love this every time I see it!

Wonderful! Nice work! Can't wait to see the finish.

Kim ~ Love your Owl finish. I'd like to hear about the gathered ribbon. Did you gather it yourself? I followed the method used by Mona in her blog. The size of the "gathers" depends on how far apart the pins are and how thick the ribbon is so you can make it fit what you want. Just go slo...

Nice card coolpenguin. Those aperture cards are really hard to find in the US so I usually make my own with card stock from the scrapbooking aisle of a craft shop and an exacto knife.

Looking wonderful!! Nice work!

The bag looks great Rose! I made a flatfold display for the first time using the owl piece I made. Since it reminds me of Autumn, I found Autumn leaf fabric & ribbon and a mix of glass beads at Hobby Lobby in Fall colors (a lot cheaper than Mill Hill beads) and put it all together. Straight pins...

Still loving this! Great work!

I went to Joann's tonight to use a coupon for 50% off a single regular-priced item and the clerk told me about their Moonlight Madness sale that runs 19-25 Oct. They had flyers with coupons at the register which included a coupon for 50% off your total purchase of regular-priced thread. There's also...

Like Rose, it doesn't happen very much that I need a break from cross stitching (and often, just switching to a new piece helps that feeling) but my other hobby is horseback riding & showing. But if I need to stay home, I write my pen pals.

Just beautiful!

It looks great Allyn!

I found this great blog that has a list of cross-stitching blogs so I found some that I like to follow from there and then found others exploring off of there, like finding participants of a SAL then going to the main SAL page and finding others. Careful though, you can spend so much time reading ab...

Thanks! So glad I have you guys to share this hobby with. It's so much better when you have friends that understand your "madness". So much to stitch and just not enough time!
