I really don't like to post without atleast ONE photo so I'm going to start sharing "past" things I've made when I don't have anything recent I can share. In this photo is a Lazy Girl purse I had made for our DGD, Katie in 2007. I used the foam in the ladybug to create the 3D effect on the black spots as well as the feet when embroidering. Kelli is raising Katie right - she's a purse-aholic like her Mommy and Mimi....LOL
I LOVE sewing/embroidering/quilting and just about any craft that is available. Kelli (DD) has now outdone her Mom in crocheting. She crochets so beautifully - I will share the pic of a purse she made me this past Christmas in another post.
How many of you still cross stitch? Yes, I still love cross-stitch too, even if it is from the 80's,,LOL Below is one I made while living in Cairo, Egypt. It was framed by a wonderful Egyptian there. (As many of you know, I "do" Christmas year-round.)
Okay, enough "past" things....sorry for rambling but it's SEW good to be back to Blogland. I'm still having to do a couple strange things to be able to post and upload pics but I'm "working it".
The winner of Stephanie's wonderful "Barefoot in the Park" pattern is:
#6, Cyndi of Bluebird's Wing
Please take time to visit Cyndi's blog, she makes the most wonderful handbags. I would love to "One Day" (excuse the pun) be the proud owner of one her beautiful creations. She is such a talent.
Congrats Cyndi - please email me your personal email address and I'll have Stephanie get a copy of "Barefoot in the Park" to you.

What a cute bag for your DGD and yep I still do counted cross stitch. It was once my go-to project when I couldn't quilt, now that's knitting.

Congrats to Cyndi.
Pictures really do work....don't they? as the saying goes; 'a picture is worth 1000 words'.
So fun to have you back! :-) And I still do some cross stitch although the fabric seems to have "shrunk". Ha!
Are you still having problems with blogger? Miss seeing you around blog land Cindy.
I seem to have missed a few things :-) Going to have to play catch up :-)xxx
Do you still have the Christmas cross-stich pattern, you did while in Cairo. Three green houses. Or do you know where I can get the pattern? Janet
Congrats!

Just popping in to wish you a nice weekend, and hope you are doing well. I read Quilt Hollow's post, and it did remind me how life takes different turns than we plan sometimes. Hope you'll be "back in business" very soon!

Hi Cindy.
I have been looking for the cross stitch houses you made. My mom got it as a gift and I have been looking for the pattern for years to make myself one. Do you have the pattern? DO you know how I can find it or the name of the pattern or the book it was in.. Please please help me find this!!
Also you did a BEAUTIFUL job on it!
