 Hi All,

Thank you so much for including me in this blog! My name is Stephanie and my personal blog is bluestarstitcher.com I have been stitching over 24 years now (wow that seems like a long time but its gone by so quick!) Stitching is my passion, and I stitch a pretty wide variety of designers/themes. I also dabble in quilting, painting/drawing, paper cutting, gardening, yoga/running/hiking (not well and not fast but that's not what counts). I am a mom of three, with three dogs 1 bird and 1 bunny, so our house stays pretty busy! I do enjoy blogging though, and getting a peek into other stitcher's lives around the world, and getting to enjoy everyone else's stitching. Above is one of my more recent finishes, and below is a photo of me and my girls. 

Hello From A New Member

Hi everyone I am Kimberly I live in Upstate NY. I am the mother of 7 grown children and 15 grandchildren biologically and 9 step grands. I am furmom to many kitty's!I have been cross stitching since 1994 I am self taught I picked up a stamped kit in Micheal's one day and did it and loved it. I progressed to a large crib quilted blanket for my daughter that was on the way I was on complete bed rest for the last 4 months of my pregnancy she was determined to come into the world early and I was extremely bored so I learned something new. I later progressed and bought a counted cross stitch kit I taught myself and loved it so much I later grew my interests and bought many more kits and patterns. Life took a u turn on us we escaped a very abusive marriage and the children and I escaped with a few suitcases and a few boxes of things many of which the bus company lost and never compensated us for. I was saddened I lost all my stitchy things, and all my clothes but I was also happy we all were safe and healthy and still had our lives. I got divorced in 2005 after moving back to NY from FL in 2002 I was finally free and I went to college and got a dual law degree both associates in Criminal Law and Paralegal. I lost total interest in my stitching after losing it all but God sent an angel in my life I met a wonderful man i 2009 we got very close and he saw a picture I had in my email of one of my projects he asked you did this I said yes he said you have talent I said I do? I said thank you he said make me something I said I have nothing left. We went the following day and we picked out a couple of kits from the Gold Collection one was a Behjing Tiger I think that's the exact name but I stitched it for him and I got my confidence back and there is no stopping me now!!! I found online Yahoo Groups  and joined them and found many friendships and found even more confidence, I even started my own Yahoo Group Sisters_Stitching_Sharing_Life its been going strong for a few years now our group is very close and we have a tight bond. I have been growing my stash lately thanks to enablers in my group and from the ladies on the 123MB. I will be making a wishlist on my blog within the next week or so I have a wishlist on the 123 MB kimanncurry@yahoo.com is the name to access it. I love scissor fobs, needle books, needle minders, q snap covers, anything anyone would like to make me! I appreciate anything that comes from the heart and I will make it my point to send to someone also! Thank you so much for having me and I am sorry for rambling I just wanted you all to know a little about me!!! My blog address is grannystitches2010.blogspot.com

I've been raked!!!! Thank you Angela!

A beautiful RAK (actually 2 RAKs) came all the way from Singapore! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love absolutely everything and can't wait to use it in my new projects.

I am so sorry for posting this so late but I was so busy moving... Yep, I left the north and as of October 15th I am living on the beautiful Vancouver Island in British Columbia. It was a very long trip. I drove for about 40 hours with not much sleep... Now I'm in a new home and I'm so excited! Today finally I have an internet hooked up so I can do some updates. There is still tons of unpacking to do but I'm hoping for a little time to do some stitching.

So long my friends,
Evalina

I have been RAKed!

This came all the way from Singapore as a birthday gift! Thank you so much Angela, it was really sweet of you. I have never tried working with wool felt and I will be delighted to experiment a new technique! Big big thank you!

Thank you Elena

 

Apologies I am a little bit late in posting.

Happy Stitching!

I'm back!!!

Hello :)

Now that my stitching mojo has finally returned, I thought it would be fun to re-join this blog that I started back in 2012.

For those that don't already know me......my name is Angela from Hooked on Stitches.  I've been stitching for just over 20 years and just taught myself to knit last December.  I think I might be best known for my sewing box finishes!  I love Blackbird Designs, Country Cottage Needleworks, Little House Needleworks, Lizzie*Kate, Blue Ribbon Designs and my new found love for Mirabilia/Nora Corbett Designs.  I have big plans to stitch a whole wall of Mirabilia finishes, you can see my very first finish, Stargazer, on my blog now.

I would like to send out a RAK to someone interested.  If anyone is interested then leave me a comment and I will use that random thingy to pick someone.  Please indicate whether you would like a stitched item, a knitted item or either :)  I'll announce my first RAK "victim" on August 16th.

Looking forward to being a part of the group again!

Edited **I just got some potentially bad news about my husband, will know more next week but i will have to put the first RAK on hold for a bit longer **  Thanks for understanding!

HOME

I AM GOING HOME TODAY! MY PLATELETS HAVE GONE UP TO 125,000 AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO RISE. Yes! There will be appointments for blood draws and checks. Chemo infusion once a week for a few weeks "no cancer remember". So later on today I'll be sitting out on our screened deck enjoying a cup of coffee with Bill and watching the birds again. Prayers are still welcomed and so appreciated. This was all in His plan for me. I've learned so much while here in the hospital and have so much to tell. God is good. Thank you all my sweet friends here! I love you all so 
much for caring. 
  

Sweet friend

Lovely Dawn sent me some goodies to enjoy , thank you so much Dawn sending you a big hug.

 

+++Update on LindaLee+++

     Still in hospital and platelets on a "very slow" upswing which is goo.  I have been on a chemo drug for 13 days now and another was added yesterday.  This second one is infused and took about five hours.  No bad effects from this second medication which I'll receive every eight days.  Want to remind ya'll that I don't have cancer, praise the Lord.  Just the fact that my platelets dropped dangerously low after my spleen removal is what has kept me here.  My infusions of platelets have decreased though, so something positive is happening.
     In the meantime, I am appreciating all prayers, and please keep them coming so that I may become well enough to go home.  Love ya'll.
