ABC Tapestry SAL ???

I will be starting ABC Tapestry by Rosewood Manor on January 1, 2009. Maxine is joining me and if anyone else would like to join in-please let me know :)
My supplies came in today. I will be using 35ct. Tea Dyed Linen (24 x 55 cut-in case anyone needs info) and Belle Soie Rose of Sharon (it takes 13 skeins..but I ordered 1extra just in case)
This piece is GORGEOUS!! Carol at my LNS has started it and stitched through the letter D and has it on display at the LNS. I wish I had taken a pic of her progress. It is just so gorgeous!!! I just fell in love with it-I am using the linen/fibers she is using as they just look fantastic together and I prefer them over the recommended :) I just wish you could see it in person :)

Anyway-if you are interested in joining me, please leave a comment and/or email me (email in sidebar...look for little BEE Mail)and let me know-would love to have you SAL with us :)

Thank you so much for your comments on the pin pillow :) You are so sweet and I appreciate them so much :)

Ornament for Carolyn

WOW, this one got lost between Charlotte NC and Houston Texas for a few days-fortunately I had tracking on it though and was able to find out what the problem was...it FINALLY made it to Carolyn today :) She is the recipient of the November ornaments in the Christmas Ornament Swap. I know that Carolyn adores SB so I chose Merry and Bright to stitch for her :) I hope you like it my friend :) I enjoyed stitching for you :)

Thank you Joan...

I learned today that the person sending to me for the Thanksgiving exchange was Joan :) She sent me a GREAT exchange package and I just love it all! The pillow is so pretty Joan and I will enjoy displaying it. Thank you! And the rest of the package was just as wonderful! I love the project bag and the pincushion, Joan :) And I will most assuredly find a use for the AWESOME Bee frame!!!Thank you so much-I love everything!!

Thanksgiving Exchange for Sharon

I was in a personal Thanksgiving exchange with a small group and I drew Sharon's name. I was told Sharon really preferred Autumn over Thanksgiving so I chose to stitch Bountiful Autumn and finish it as a pinkeep :) I hope you will enjoy it, Sharon :) I didn't take a pic of the rest of the exchange :(.

Mom is in a great deal of pain today...I guess the nerve block finally wore completely off...we expected this pain, but it's still hard to see her in such pain. Your continued thoughts/prayers for her would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit :) I appreciate it so much :)

Friends...my mom did just great :)

it honestly could have not gone any smoother-I am talking about everything from the moment we arrived at the surgery center until the minute they wheeled her out to the car to go home. The doctor (whom I really like) said she did so good and he had good stuff to work with and the repair to her shoulder looks excellent and he is happy with the repair. NOW it is up to mom-she has to remember NOT to use the arm and do everything they told her Post-Op. She starts Physical Therapy tomorrow and hopefully in about 4-6 months she will be as good as new. :) I am SO proud of her as she was so very nervous about it all-but she did just great. I am SAD to see her in so much pain-but we have already had a conference on just how bad the pain would be for quite some time-especially the pain that goes with the PT. Thank you so much to everyone that has sent personal email -you are so kind and it just touches me so to know that I have that many caring friends I have never met IRL :) I just love you all so much for that :) You're the best!!!!
OK...I am exhausted-I just want to BE for a bit :)...I didn't sleep last night worrying over mom and then we had to get up at 5AM and have her there by 7am and it's telling on me now...AND what frustrated me most was I took everything to stitch an ornament...well almost everything-I FORGOT my needle..ROFL!!! I was just so nervous and hyper at the same time I just forgot :)

Thank you-your thoughts and prayers have been so greatly appreciated by all my family and they worked :)

hugs and love,
BeckySC

Give Away to Say Thank you !!!

I wanted to do an end of the year give away for my blog readers :) I appreciate your time and visits to my blog and your email and all the new friends I have made VIA my blog. :) I stitched this Saturday night, but I didn't know if I would get the finishing done this weekend, but I did find time to do the finishing on this cute little needle book today. I chose this design because I have received MANY email on the same design/finish I did for myself back earlier in the year. I need to go ahead and post this as I don't know how much free time I will have over the next several months with my mom having surgery :) SO...if you are a commenter on my blog and would like a chance to win this Needle book, please leave a comment on THIS post and I will draw a name at the end of November.
I changed all the flowers to tiny buttons as I had used the tulip flower that goes on the center flower on my previous finish of this design! I think it looks TOO cute with the button flowers :)
