Guest book of Angel Kisses

I am taking a wonderful idea that a friend had and making a run with it. (thanks Tracy... hope you don't mind me borrowing your idea.)

I would like to extend a welcome to all visitors to this blog.
I enjoy knowing that my needlework is inspiring enough for you to visit me.

I invite you to leave a comment (ANGEL KISSES) on this post to introduce yourself and let me know why you enjoy my blog or how it inspires you.

It is really interesting to me to see where everyone is from and what they are working on as well... So don't be surprised if I leave you a comment (ANGEL KISS) on your blog as well....

May you receive many Angel kisses from all!!!

Yippeee Hardanger Classes .....

Rene from the ILCS group has started a hardanger class.

I have been dying to try it but needed an extra push to try it.

Now that I got my extra push to try it.....

I am enjoying it so far.

What do you think? Sorry pic is not the greatest.

Lesson 1 done and waiting for the next lesson!

Happy Independence Day!

Music added....

I wanted to let everyone know I added a music player to my blog.
Please let me know if this becomes and issue.... (music type will not be changed)
I wanted to be able to hear music when I read all the wonderful comments you all leave.

All your comments to my work makes me just want to continue stitching and making others smile.

****EDITED****
There is a tissue alert on one of my all time favorite songs....
The song is "Dear Mr. Jesus by Sharon Batts"....

Another giveaway....

Another biscornu

Well I finished another biscornu a few days ago.
I have one more in the works but that one will have to wait for it's picture to be taken til it arrives at it's new home.
I do not want to have others see it before the recipient does. (SORRY FOLKS!)

Anyway, I have taken a picture of my finished biscornu and put it next to the first one I had done....


Thank you for all the comments on my first biscornu...
I really appreciate all the comments and also love seeing the reactions to my stitching.

I liked this....

I came across this and thought it was wonderful so I had to share it with all of you.

A Stitcher's Prayer

Lord, grant that I may see to stitch
Until my dying day,
And when my last short thread is clipped
And scissors tucked away,
The work that I have done live on,
That other folk may see
The pleasure I have known, Lord
In the skill you gave to me.

--Mary-Dick Digges (1934-2001)
