Simple Joys progress and a Hobbit giveaway

Greetings dear friends and blogging buddies! ~
First off , I want to mention about Edgar's Hobbit Birthday drawing that he is having. As if you all haven't already seen it! Run on over and check it out.
Ok, I meant to start posting a little more often. Bare with me as life passes me by! LOL. Cole had asked if any of the men from the Celtic Festival had Scottish or Irish accents to go with thier kils. Yes, actually , there were a few. I really enjoyed talking to them. It almost felt like we were on vacation to the isles!
I have spent some time working on Simple Joys, but mostly playing " catch up" with some things. Yes, Maggee, this design is LHN. I just love it! I love the new one coming out, and will probably have to get that one as well. :) . Here's the progress so far. Sorry the picture isn't great, but for some reason the flash wouldn't go off this morning. Gotta frog the row going down the left side, as I realized that I used the wrong green. Of course, none of you ever do that right? ;)

Thanks for those that mentioned my glasses. Funny thing though.... I took my son in for an exam and just happened to mention that I didn't think the glasses were as strong as they seemed to be when I was in the office getting them. Next thing I know, I'm in the exam chair. Result.... stronger lenses! :( Part of the problem is these blasted cateracts! I hope they won't look like Coke bottle bottoms! Like my husband said though, at least I'll be able to see. Oh , and my son will be getting glasses too. He doesn't need them very bad though, his vision is 20/25. Pretty good I'd say.

Well , I shall run. For those of you who have recently ( within the last couple of months) became a follower, please pass on your blog link if you have one, so I can check it out. Thank you all for stopping by and for the comments and continued friendships. They really do mean a lot!

'til next time,

don't be a stranger,

  1. Your cross stitch is coming along beautifully! I can't wait to get my hands on some LHN charts, I just love her designs.

    My son needs to go to the eye doctor. He's been having issues for the last year, he's turning 10 tomorrow. :)

  9. Hi Sharlotte,

    I LOVE your glasses. I've been wearing glasses since I was in the 4th grade and I'm always on the lookout for cute frames and yours definitely are cute! You look great.

    I really like the cross stitch in your header.

    Have a great day,
    Jackie

  10. Great progress on Simple Joys.
    Ah glasses. I don't know how I'd live without them. (Well, considering I'd be hit by a bus that I'd fail to see, there wouldn't be much living involved lol!)

  11. I love your WIP, Sharlotte! That has to be one of the prettiest LHNs that have come out--such a nice sentiment.

  12. Hi again! I just purchased the chart for Simple Joys and can't wait to get started. It's been years since I've stitched. I also bought one called Pumpkin Hollow from Little House Needleworks. You are inspiring me!

    See ya.
