Grow your Blog Pt 2 Giveaway

When I put my post together yesterday for 2 Bags Full Grow Your Blog Party I forgot to add a giveaway to be picked on February 1st. This is open to any person, any where as long as you leave a comment on this post. No need to be a follower. There will be...

this lovely kit and maybe something stitched by me. This will be my first giveaway ever. I am very excited!!!









Now on to another stitchy finish.

 

My first pillow ornament.

 

 

This is the second snowflake I made from the January pattern of the 2013 Ornament Pattern Club from STNA. This is the first of my handmade ornaments for my Christmas tree.

 

This was such a cute little pattern. Thank you Loretta for designing this one.

 

I am off to stalk read a few blogs now. Have a wonderful weekend.

 

Ta Ta for now,

Grow your blog party

I started this blog in August of 2012 to have a record of the stitching projects I completed. At the time (and even now) there are few people near me that I can share my obsession passion hobby with. I found that not only do I have a place to share my progress but I also found a large group of friends that encourage me to continue stitching on the days that are filled with the madness that is life in my zoo. Thank you for my current followers and any new ones that may start after/during this party.

Now onto the part we all enjoy...finishes.

This latest finish is not a cross stitch piece but I enjoyed making it none the less. This one was made for a former co-worker. She is classic and distinguished and this particular fabric called her name. She also loves boxes and funky jewelry.

 

 

I painted a plain wood box black, put a coat of polyurethane and then put a piece of fabric in the bottom and on the top then filled it with goodies. Today was the first chance I had to see her since before Christmas. I received a message from her a little while ago and was told that she loved every bit of it. I already have a top ready for the next box, I just need to decide on a color for the box. This time I think I am going to go with a stain instead of paint. Another gift for the present box. Maybe this way I will be ahead of the game on gifts for 2013.

I also completed my exchange gift (no pictures yet) and will be mailing that out tomorrow. I am working on another snowflake from STNA and a different snowflake for WOCS. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend filled with lots of stitching.

Ta Ta for now,
Angela the Crazy Cat Lady (as my daughter calls me).
