Bookmark and My First SAL =)

Good Morning my friends! How are you today? I am so glad you stopped by. Hello to my new followers too. =) I recently received a few gifts from Lee, and one of the gifts was a New Zealand Kiwi bookmark kit. Brian is the proud new owner of this.

This was stitched on the provided aida bookmark. Wow! What a LOT of tweeding/blending of the browns. Five different variations in that kiwi. I used fusible interfacing and adhered a perfectly matched brown felt to the back.

I have been invited to join my friend Vicki in my very first ever SAL. =) How fun! We both had the same reaction to the new Barbara Ana pattern in this newest issue of Cross-Stitch & Needlework magazine. It is awesome. Vicki and I adore it!! It is called Autumn Delights. Go get November 2013 issue if you wanna join us! =) We plan to start this SAL on October 1st. Leave me a comment if you wanna join us, okay? =) EDIT: So far Annette and Donna joined in the fun too!

I finished Sovereign The Books of Mortals by Ted Dekker on CD. A great story. I also enjoyed getting a book done while stitching. Neat! I will start Emma by Jane Austen on CD next. I have read almost every single one of her books, but not Emma yet. It is such a long book. I have checked the book out twice with good intentions, but, well, stitching seemed to call to me more.

There is still time to enter my Flora McSample Heart Sampler Giveaway. Take a look here.

Well, I am either going to begin the next stitch I have lined up, or......... Well, I have an itch to make another tiny Henry motif. tee hee! Not as many boy poodles available as the girly ones ya know! And we all know I need another frig magnet, right?! RIGHT!! ;)

Have a most excellent day in the Lord my friends! I thank God for YOU!♥

Stitching and praying,
Vickie
