more shtuff

it's Tuesday......

first of all I want to thank my friend Patti for the wonderful bracelet and earrings she sent. I will wear them Friday, Patti that is the special day......

thanks so much for your kindness. I truly appreciate it.

I bought this at the flea as well.... I just love the detail and truly admire the person that made it. I used to cross stitch way before my second son came, maybe it's time to pick it up again. I taught myself. They say when you cross stitch that your front needs to be as nice looking as the back. Well my front was decent, but my back was not so neat. That's okay who looks at the back right??? I then took a class in downtown St. Charles, Mo where they taught me the right way to cross stitch.

My mother knows how to do this needlework on the left she sews, cooks great, bakes, what does that woman not do...??? Well, I grew up with all boys and yes I was very tomboyish..... oh well. I hope you are enjoying your evening and I will try to post more soon.

I have a few card I have to write up and mail out before I leave.

Yay!! You got it! I took my chance with the black and clear for their vesatility. Hope they are ok. I love needlework- especially cross stitch. I did cross stitich many years ago and just started again last month- it's fun! You should try it again!
