Giveaway Time!!!

In honor of St. Patty's Day, I'll do this post in green!  Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of you lads and lasses out there!  I hope you've had a lucky day!

It's time for a giveaway!  

Stitching has become my favorite hobby lately.  I seem to go in phases between sewing and stitching and since I love my stitching so much right now, I'd love to share it with someone else.  

The lucky winner will receive the floss, the needles and the transfer pen in the picture below and some other goodies. I will try my best to sketch a design of the winner's choice.  And I will most likely throw in a small Mary Kay goodie.  

And all you have to do to win is leave a comment.  

Tell me what your favorite hobby is and also what pattern you'd like me to sketch if you win.  

The giveaway will be open through midnight Sunday.  I will announce the winner on Monday.  I will be using the random number generator.  

I can't wait to hear from you!  

Be sure to leave an email for me to reach you at if you don't have it set up to show on your profile, or if you comment anonymously.

Let your friends know!  The more the merrier! 

Mama's stitchers

I thought I'd post some of the things that my boys have stitched.  They take classes at the public library in town.  We have some amazing women who volunteer their time to bring embriodery to the kids.  I think it is wonderful that they are willing to pass their talents on to a younger generation! (Especially that age group!)

My eight year old stitched this fish.  He has had lessons for four sessions.  This is one that he did during his second and third sessions.

My six year old stitched this when he was five.  He hadn't had lessons yet, but had to keep up with his older brother.  I helped him with his french knots, but he did the rest.  I was amazed at his talent.  I was also pretty impressed with myself for drawing the dog.  I didn't know I had that ability. =)

Hopefully the lessons will start again in the spring after the snow is gone.  (The ladies don't drive in the snow.)  I hope to get enough of their work to put into a quilt that I will be able to cherish forever!
