A New Woman Here!!

Hi everyone,

 I am in a very Happy state of mind these dayzzz!!

This is due to my finally after 2 1/2 plus years being able to get a bridge in the front bottom

area of my teeth...I am a "new woman now".  I am feeling like doing the Happy Dance!!!

It is a New Year and with it I hope will come many new and wonderful experiences.  A great journey too...alot of stitching, knitting, crochet too.

On Saturday I went to "Stitcher's Paradise" here in Las Vegas, Nevada.  I had a lot of fun touching threads, looking at so many new colors and silks as well.

I purchased a new book of charts by Black Bird Designs.  I love it, it has many Vintage Designs inside.

I have started a new design called  "Margaret Harris ~ 1877" ~it is a sampler. It was inspired by Louisa Bell's sampler.  You may use any Grandmother or Aunt's name and date as your own. 

I am using 28 ct Jobelean Linen~ color is  Bay Leaf .  Threads *I changed the colours*

DMC threads #Ecru, #680 Gold, #3031, WDW #1276 Blue Spruce, GA #Poinsettia, 
Crescent Colours St Bernard, Tiny Vine...It will be so lovely!!

It called for Belle Soie ~Attic Tea, Vanilla Pudding, Scarecrow, Terra Potta, Tourtoise Shell.
I chose to use DMC, Crescent Colours,The Gentle Art Threads.

The design is 142W X 123 H.

I started it yesterday and I have the top main border design and half of the right border design almost

finished.  It is delightful to work.

I rented the movie Jane Ayre, I am enjoying it.  I saw The Help a few days ago before the Golden Globes were on, it is very good~.I did not read the book..  Saw Moneyball, as a baseball movie was ok, Midnight in Paris & Ides of March not my favorites at all.

I am also enjoying my new Kindle Fire, read two books "Dancing in the Moonlight" & "Blackberry Summer" by RaeAnne Thayne....love her reads, just got "Christmas in Cold Creek"~ have played games and gone on face book too on it.  What fun!!

I hope you are all having a good start to the new year with much good health, love, laughter and friends, family, grandchildren and the furry babies too.

I made marinated skirt steak last nite and a baked potato and salad, it was very palette pleasing.

An  apple for dessert.

Well I guess I wrote a book.

Hugz to all, reina

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012

Hi All!

The New Year is just around the corner, it is exciting to have

a whole new year to finish the old and start the new.  Whatever it may be.

I have many UFO's (unfinished projects to stitch, knit and crochet)..books to read as well.

I am going to re-do my clothes closet this year too!!! Donate what I can and start a new in many areas.

It is a gorgious day here in Las Vegas and will be all week!

I wish everyone good health, good friends, and lots of love.

My Lexi & Teddy are doing great and send their puppy kisses your way.
