My first finish for 2011 !

Greetings all!~ I hope you all had a nice New Year celebration, however it was that you celebrated. Here.... no hoopla... just watched movies , the ball drop from Times Square...and then the Benedryl I had to take kicked in and I went to bed at 11:30. Just thirty minutes before midnight, can you believe it? !! I almost made it , but once the Benedryl kicks in, it knocks me for a loop and I'm a goner!

The mail can bring such nice surprizes sometimes. The other day I recieved a beautiful Shepherd's Bush scissor fob kit complete with scissors from Jolene for my birthday, which was yesterday, the big four-0! I decided that the scissor fob would make a great little first finish for the year and I set to work on it right away. I just love the way it turned out. Thank you SO MUCH my friend!







Aye yi yi ! I can't believe that there are so many of you that have joined the stitching challenge this year! All of you brave souls are sure going to be busy! I had entertained the thought for about ...oh , maybe 5 seconds. LOL. Then I realized that there was no way with my crazy life that I could commit to that. I don't make any New Year's resolutions, but there are a few things I would like to work on this year....one being not over-extending myself. Therefore, I am going to try my best to cut back on commitments that I know I am not going to fullfill.

Later this week I hope to announce another giveaway, so be on the lookout! Thank you all so much for all of your visits, continued support, and friendship. It really does mean a lot!

'til next time,

don't be a stranger,

Sharlotte

  7. Wow! You stitched that one up in a hurry!!! Happy to hear you liked your "little, teeny'tiny" gift. A small token to know you are thought of, especially on your birthday and for the big-4-0! No worries though, you'll never catch up with me. Hope you are feeling better and Happy 2011! Smiles...
