I was debating with myself whether I should post now or when
I have some actual stitching to show but I have to post something for this past
weekend, it was IHSW. OK, here goes, I started this weekend off examining a new
magazine I got in the mail it is the latest issue of “Cross stitch &
Needlework”. It is chucked full of wonderful charts like the Santa on the cover
and this beautiful Nora Corbett. It is
the Winter Dream Faerie. I have never
done a Nora Corbett but I may just have to try this one isn't it gorgeous?
There is another chart from this book that I started
stitching on this last Friday however I can only show a snippet because it is
to be an exchange piece if I change my mind about it I will show it in another
post.
The book hiding the
stitching is a book I discovered today at Barnes & Noble, it’s called “Blackwork”.
It’s a murder mystery (my favorite) and
the main character does what else, cross stitch and needlework. The book is by Monica Ferris and there is an
actual cross stitch chart included in the book. I may not have found a way to stitch and
read at the same time but I can read about someone else stitching.
Also this weekend I attended a stitch & bitch at Jan's house, she fired up Skype on her laptop and we got to visit with MarchAnn and take a tour of her new retirement condo. So even though it doesn't look it, I had a very productive IHSW. I now have the eighth part of AW80S to start on,
my exchange piece to finish and my Santa from my last post so I think I will
have to close up the laptop and get to stitching so there will be updates next
time. Welcome to my new followers, I
hope you will visit often and thank you to all my followers for stopping by and
leaving wonderful comments. Now to makes
some xxs

What a perfect world this would be if I could stitch and read at the same time...
I really need to subscribe to that magazine - I always buy it from the newstand, and it would come earlier, and cost less
Ah, but you can read and stitch at the same time if you buy into the idea that an e-reader can read to you. I need a real book in hand. Love the Ferris books - have them all.
I think I am going to have to put that author on my wish list for Christmas this year. What you are able to show of your stitching is wonderful.
I love Monica Ferris' books! I have read a couple and need to continue them. Also, Jennifer Chiaverini has a to die for serious of quilt stories...I have read them all from the beginning and on the library waitlist for the current book. I do like what I see thus far of your secret ornie!
Minnie I read that book. You will love it. There are quite a few in the series. You will want to get back to the first one and begin a fun time. =)
What a fun weekend!
I really enjoyed Skypeing with everyone on Saturday Minnie is was a great way to see faraway friends. I have the Monica Ferris books on my nook but haven't read them. You will have to let me know how you enjoyed it.
Cyberstitching on Skype? I love it! Let me know when you guys doing it next time, I would love to join. I think my skype name is evalinaz.

Winter Dream Faerie is gorgeous! Stash enhancing is just as fun as stitching sometimes! hehe :) have fun with your little xxs
Another book to put on my list ;).
And don't you just love skype to keep you in touch.
Ah yes, Monica Ferris. She has quite a few books out and I've kept up with them all. Kind of fun reading and not too complicated for my brain. LOL I also bought the magazine. For some reason the little gnome/elf guy on the front caught my interest. Not my usual style but he insisted on coming to my house.
I full encourage you to stitch a Nora C, they are amazing and so fun!

After we glance at the word the expression appreciate, installing relation to an intimate romance by using another, however being a emotion that is definitely engendered if you have miltchmonkey a much better relationship yourself as well , or perhaps as being a feeling of larger unity with your family or maybe the human race * that turns into a lot more superior that every someone is looking to get in your everyday living is certainly enjoy.
