Yiota's Cross Stitch Kits  I love these kits and Jo who can't think of a clever nickname is having a giveaway over at her blog Serendipitous Stitching  Leave her a comment on her amazing Dark Alphabet too.  I'm envious now.  I wasn't thrilled with A-D but now that I see the whole thing I wish I had started.  She got a pretty prize pack too for finishing before the designer!

Now to the heart of the matter ;)  I added the beads and charm as it said in the row, maybe should have waited on the charm.  Then did the next band of weaving cross-stitch and started on the large cross stitch.  I was using up the endy bits and I'm thinking I should have waited for the smaller stitches at the end but ah well.

Cross-Stitch and Cupcake Give Away

I promise that the next post will be stitchy or scrappy updates!

But for now another Give Away!

Cross-Stitch and Cupcakes is celebrating their blogaversary with 5 Give Away choices! Go check it out.

More Giveaways!

I found this foodie giveaway from the Auld Grey Mare's site.

Foodiacs Spring Fling Is giving away a Kitchen Aid, a years supply of King Arthur's Flour and $50.00. A very good deal. I know we all ready have a Kitchen Aid but hubs likes that flour and if we did get it we could probably sell it and then get the sausage attachment for our Kitchen Aid ;)

I have been stitching lately too. I'm working on a bookmark for Stitching for Literacy. Just doing the back stitching right now.

Free Pattern over at Cross Stitch Collectibles I kinda like the smaller pattern over the large one. I printed this one out last night so we'll see when it gets done! Lots of colors in this!

I'm also working on M'lady's Strawberries.

This morning I'm getting ready for my MS Walk in Nashville. I have friends picking me up and we're meeting the Bacon part of Team Cook Bacon. It looks to be a beautiful day!

Another Awesome Giveaway!

Passing the Give Away love

I went checking the blogs of my commenters (you should check them out too ;) )
Bec posted about a give away on Nataly's Needle Creations so I'm spreading the love! Really cute things. I'm really eyeing the purple scissors. I think that would bring up my scissor count to five ;)

I hope everyone has a great day and makes time for some stitching!

If you're into scrapping Clear Scraps is doing a Friday Give Away too.

Spreading the Word and I hate Frogs

Blu is doing a give away on her blog Therapy by Thread Go there and comment for a chance to enter.

I was going to post a picture tonight but I realized I have only 2 movies in the C section and then I'm done so I'll wait a bit on showing the big piece. Then I was taking out my stuff to continue my hockey stitch while watching his team play. Not only did my team lose last night but they gave me a frog. So I had to undo the gray at the top of the tree. Luckily that's the only bit on that piece. I have a few frogs sitting on the big stitch but I'm ignoring them. It's just background wall and who cares if a stalactite is crooked. A tree might look discombobulated or about to fall on the kids or the house or off put how to frame the darn thing so that frog was a bright red amazon tree frog that had to be dealt with and now I don't feel like stitching.

Tomorrow is yet another snow day. So I'll be doing some cleaning since I've been mostly sitting on my tush and stitching. Then I'm going to brave a bit of street to get to a friends house who is suffering cabin fever.
