Penguin Party Finish

I finished my penguin just in time - my nephew's birthday is tomorrow. I'm sure he will enjoy.

Now on to the next project. I've decided that I've got to join the 100 stitches project that is on CountedCrossStitch at yahoogroups

Toot Your Horn Tuesday

I've been stitching a lot more, so will have more pictures up this week. Almost finished with the backstitching of Penguin Party

Saturday Stitching Blog Hop #1

Saturday Stitching Blog Hop #1
Welcome to our first Saturday Stitching Blog Hop! I’m excited to see what creative stitching you’ve been up to!


Here are the rules:


1) First, create a blog entry about something you made yourself. (I hope to have a button next week – still having trouble getting the coding right – any help is appreciated)

2) Next, add your blog post name down below and then add the link of the blog entry about your project (not your homepage) . To get your link, click on the title of your blog post that you would like to enter and then copy the address that appears in the address bar up top, and paste it down below. It should look about like this: http://yourblogname.blogspot.com/2009/07/your_project.html.

3) Finally, show some love! Visit some of the projects linked up and leave a comment!

SAT Friday 5/21/10

Here is the before of my "Penguin Party" from the March 2010 issue of Cross Stitch Crazy. My nephew loves penguins and his birthday is next week, so I thought this would be a perfect gift for him.





Here is the after view - I have a purple and green balloon and the backstitching left to do. Hope to finish tomorrow.

Welcome Wednesday 5/19/10

I thought I'd try this Link Party again this week. I'm still searching for a link party that I can do each week and spread the word about the diversity of my interests (crafts - counted cross-stitch, collecting postcards, reading, and genealogy).

Please let me know if you now of any general format Link Partys. Thanks for taking a look at my blogs.

Penguin Party

This is a picture of a Penguin with balloons from the March 2010 Cross Stitch Crazy. I'm going to stitch it for my nephew for his 9th birthday at the end of the month.

He just loves penguins and figure this will be a great gift to give to him at his party. He's actually gift is a day with his aunt doing what he wants.

Scrapping Mosiac Update 5/10/10

I haven't worked on this project in a while, so thought I would pull it out since I've finished a few kits lately and want to add stitches. I also figure this is a good way to get my 100 stitches challenge done.

I'm taking all the scraps of threads left and am using them to made a modern mosiac with all different colors.

Thanks for taking a look.

Welcome Wednesday

I thought I'd try this Link Party this week. I'm trying to find one that I can post to consistantly that will fit with what my intersted are - I've noticed that most are craft related and I'm not always up on my crafts (usually counted cross stitch).

I do read a lot and collect postcards and work on my genealogy (family history). Please let me know if you now of any general format Link Partys. Thanks for letting me try this one this week.

Ladybug Progress

I've been stitching a little again. I need to start doing the 100 stich challenge so that I try to stitch at least 100 sitches a day.

Hope this comes out well

Tuesday Blog Hops

Tuesday Tag-Along

Without further ado...
Here's how it works:

Create a new Tuesday Tag-Along blog post. Include the Tuesday Tag-Along button by copying and pasting the code above. (You are also welcome to copy and paste these instructions in their entirety, or any portion of this Tuesday Tag-Along blog post!)

Add your blog name and the URL of your TTA post to the MckLinky below.

Follow Twee Poppets, the hostess blog listed in the first slot. Leave a comment saying you've followed, and Twee Poppets will follow you back!

If you can, please follow the blogs in the three slots before you (e.g., if you're number 20, follow numbers 19, 18, and 17). This is not mandatory, but it will help ensure that everyone who signs up gets a few new followers!

Follow as many other blogs as you want. The more you follow, the more that will follow you back! Be sure to tell them that you're following from Tuesday Tag-Along! You may also want to leave a link to your blog so they can return your follow more easily.

When you get a new follower through Tuesday Tag-Along, be sure to follow them back! It's just common courtesy. :)

The weekly Tuesday Tag-Along post and MckLinky will be posted every Monday night at 8:59pm Pacific Standard Time (that's 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time), and the MckLinky will be open to add your blog until 11:59pm Tuesday night. You then have all week long to visit blogs and return follows!

There is a new list every week. The link you enter one week will not carry over to the next week's MckLinky. Please link up again each week to join in the fun!


Tuesday Tag-Along Blog Hopper of the Week:
Each week, one blog will be chosen randomly from all the links, and that lucky blog will be placed in the desirable second slot for the following week's MckLinky!

This week's lucky blog hopper is #9, Giveaway Blogdom. Congratulations!
