SICK 'PUTERAt some point over the past two months, some
GIVEAWAYS
Kathy of A Stitcher's Heirloom is hosting her first ever giveaway. I just love the name of her blog, don't you? Click on over to see her stitchy projects!
Lisa of Hockey Mom Stitchin' Hobby is hosting a 3-100-500 giveaway to celebrate her blogversary. Check it out, as well as her beautiful stitching project.
PRIZE and RAK's
Dee in TN (no blog) hosted a reindeer contest. We had to guess how many reindeer charts she had chosen to stitch out of the recent stash haul of magazines she acquired. Becky actually won, but she deferred to the next person (moi!) since she won Dee's last contest. Here's what I won:
Sue of Sue's Stitching, Reading, and Family sent me an awesome RAK! She's such a sweetheart, and the list Mom of ESC. Look what she sent me:
-and-
The October issue of Cross Stitch and Needlework
I've already picked out several things I want to stitch up out of all three mags! Thank you so much Dee and Sue *big smiles*
Lisa of Mad Stitches also RAK'd me a couple of charts. First up is Momiji (I call them Kokeshi) Dolls:
She also sent me Spring Fairy by Joan Elliott:
STITCHY STUFF
I was able to complete Part 2 of Purple Garden. I've substituted pink for some of the colors in the design.
Last week, I showed the ornament I sent for the "Words of Christmas" exchange. Over the weekend, I received my ornament from Nancy in CA. I think it turned out beautifully!
I'm also working on two "secret" stitching projects, which I can't show yet.
Until next time,

Wow! Great RAK's, prizes and stitching!
I am glad your puter is better. Mine is dying. I have not turned it off for I think 2 or 3 days because it is hard to boot up. I am just waiting for John to back me up to the external hard drive. Looks like you got some UK magazines with your haul. I recognize them. They are great. I am happy for you that you got an A.
