Crazy Me Plus Extras!

Happy New Year and welcome to my first post for 2011!! What a year ahead of us!! I am excited about my stitching goals and I hope you are excited about yours. New year...new positive attitude about all aspects of life.

I want to share with you a couple of trinkets I received from my stitching friends Jackie and Tricia. Both of these ladies are just heavenly and I appreciate having them both as friends. If you know me, you know I LOVE snowmen! Not snow but snowmen! LOL So, Jackie sent me Lizzie Kate's 2010 Snowman for my birthday and I just love him! He is on the stitching list for 2011...only to show off during the holidays. Teehee



This darling, LHN's Patience is from Tricia. I came across Tricia a few months ago via a Yahoogroup. She mentioned having linen allergies and I RAKd her a bunch of aida I had on hand and no intentions of using since I discovered linen. She was working on this piece at the time and had to stop. So, she has her finish on aida and I am going to finish what she started! She is also a talented stamper...note the adorable card!

On with the show!! Now to catch you up with my Crazy Challenge starts. I figure I will do weekly updates or as I finish a WIP. I don't want to spend a lot of time blogging...mainly because I spend MORE time looking and adding to my wishlist when I should be stitching! Y'all know what I mean...you do it to! LOL So, her goes days 1-9 of the challenge...

Whew!! See, my needle has been busy! Plus, I have been working on my Love Quilt block for Peyton so I can get that in the mail. I do have a small WIP which only needs a few more stitches to be my first 2011 finish!

As I sign off, I ask that you all pray for the family of Rene la Frog. I met her through the ILCS group a couple of years ago. She was indeed a talented stitcher and proud grandmother. I have never been to Vegas, but I enjoyed seeing it through her eyes via her blog. She had been ill for some time and is now a stitching angel. In addition, please pray for BeckySC's family. They suffered a devasting loss this past week.

Thank you for visiting and leaving your wonderful comments. I appreciate them sooo much!!

Hugs & Stitches!!
