Old crochet piece.


Saw this on the kitchen table a few days ago. Don't know where my SIL dug it up. It must have been more than a decade ago that I crochet this.

Mail Art again.



I haven't finished a Mail Art for a long time. I had a lot of big plans... meaning I have stitched some but never finish any to post it out.


Anyway, the topic came up at NNC. I said that I had a few that just needed a name on them. Here's one I stitch back in 2006, a valentine freebie from EMS. It went to ....

Another UFO...


Can't remember if I started this piece in 2005 or 2006. Its a chart from DMC that I got with my stock of DMC flosses. And I was supposed to stitch 2 of this. At first I thought the uncle wanted to stitch this piece and I tried to kit it up for him. But he actually wanted to buy the materials for me to stitch for him. LOL!!!

And I thought if I stitch this for him, I have to stitch one for my dad, too. The story hasn't ended yet as this is not a WIP but more a UFO now....

Results for the DMC National Cross-Stitch Competition 2007

Was seaching thru the Star papers this morning. Didn't find it the first time so had to read page by page. Can't remember the last time I actually read thru the newspaper page by page. Still alot of focus on the politics...

Finally found it on page SM20, a 2" by 5" announcement of the top price winners. Congratulations to all of them. Anyone you know?

The consolation prize winners names were not announced. But I know one of them..... *coughs* LOL!!!

Here's another piece done after the earlier Venice...

MP - Venice



*Laughs* Actually can just use "Paint" program to resize the pictures. No big deal about it. And here I thought have to do a lot of things...

I finished this piece a while ago. Don't think I post it before but perhaps some have seen it already.
