natural linen. by Prairie Moon
I have stitched this one before and
just missed it.  It will forever remind
me of my trip to San Diego.  I stitched
this on the plane, in the airport etc
and it was finished on my flight back.

 My son bought this on our trip and
i  hope i have a stitcher in the family.
I taught him how to stitch.  Maybe
a future stitcher.
 I sent my sister Cheryl this
fabric and she made me two
project bags.  They are just
gorgeous.  thank you Cheryl.

 Me and my son in San Diego
The ocean was just amazing.
This was a work trip and I had
such a great trip.  I tried to up
load more pictures but
blogger was not cooperating.
 My co-worker Angela and I






San Diego was just beautiful
A great place to visit.  I could
never live there, way to 
crowded for me.  The
weather was cold compared
to TN.  The ocean breeze and
smell of the salt water, I will miss
that.  It was an amazing trip.

I tried to upload more pictures
but blogger is giving me a hard time.
I just posted a video on Youtube.
Some amazing photos there.

Lots of buds on all of the bushes.

but the rewards will be amazing.

Happy Spring

 From the JCS ornament issue 2013
Peace.  I changed some of the colors
Peace was done in a satin silver.
 I made a ribbon candy cross stitch
years ago.  I missed this piece, so i 
did another one.  On the right i combined
two different lizzie kate patterns to
make this summer piece.  I added black
cording and layered a purple chenille
onto top of the cording.  A double
layer trim.

 This is also from the 2013 JCS
ornament issue.  by CCN.
I added red and clear swarovski crystals

 A couple of years back i made
a couple of cross stitch necklaces.
I really wanted one again and
made this piece.  I used a rosebud,
Perfect for spring.
 Back from the framer.  The designer
is Satsuma.  Happy spring.
This framed piece is just
gorgeous.  It is really hard to
get a good picture due to the glare
from the glass.  It is now hanging
in my livingroom.


 My daughter  Alyssa was down
for a Visit to TN and also
stopped to see my son in SC.
I showed her all the sites to
see in TN.  It was a great time 
for both of us.
 Ducks at the park
 Turtles sunbathing at the park, so cool.
I made this piece for my sister Cheryl.
I forgot to post .  the pattern is by
Priarie Schooler.  Double
wedding ring.  

I hope everyone is having a great Spring.
The warmer weather is so nice.
Happy Stitching everyone.
