Some News

It has been 2 months since my last post. Haven't been crafting too much lately since I started my new job. However, I have two annoucements.

First:

A few months ago I stitched a design by Vivian Bales and designed/made buttons for it. The design is called Seaside Memories and is now on sale at Country Cottage http://www.countrycottageneedleart.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=4340
The chart is free with the purchase of the button pack.
Here is a pic:



I have been working on an afghan for my daughter since last year. I put it down for the summer but just finished it tonight. This is a diagonal design and you can find the pattern here: http://mysite.verizon.net/vze8mnnp/diag.html

Here are the pics of Gina's afghan.....the first is the full pic, it is about the size of a twin bed. The second is a close up of the stitches. It was done with Red Heart Blueberry acrylic yarn.


I really need to get back to stitching. I have a model to stitch for Oakhaven designs but haven't had much time or energy to stitch.

Nice to see you posting again. Gina's afghan is beautiful-the colors are so rich.
And congrats on the button pack-I knew you'd be making them to sell someday! I still have the one you gave me (Uncle Sam), and I'll definitely do something patriotic with him.
Good luck with your job.
