I have been stitching, but can't show all yet. I did finish up the heart for April's RR....
I love stitching these hearts for the Friendshipround robin. Each one has such pretty colors and
they're all so different. Some have sent journals for us to tell a little about ourselves. Others sent
cardstock to write a little note on. Some want the
dates, town or country, some the full name.
Hopefully when we're all done (within 8-9 months), we can post them all on one place for everyone to see. That would be really cool. I'm getting ready to stitch BJ's and she has luscious colors!
Got a start on Secret Garden 3....
It has a wild color (just one stitch) that doesn't go with anything in this motif - I'm still trying to figure if it's a typo or what, but I seriously may remove it. If you click the picture, you'll see this bluish, purplish, gray and then this one stitch of stark brown. This probably doesn't seem like much stitching, but it's mostly confetti stitches and took me awhile. At this rate, I figure it might resemble this picture by 2025. LOL 
In honor of my blogaversary at some point in time earlier this year and my BD last month, or for whatever reason I can dream up, I'm going to give away some items; winner gets their choice of whichever chart, fabric, and small stitched item (no pics of this yet). Second winner gets their choice after that. Winners will be announced on April 15; what better day to win anything than on TAX day?! Picture is clickable for a better view.
If you are interested, please leave a comment and your e-mail. If you're not interested in the drawing, but want to leave a comment, by all means, please do so. You know how we bloggers cherish our comments! (so true) No e-mail addy means you don't want to be in the drawing - this should make it pretty easy. :)And lastly, since I've posted a few shoe pictures, I thought I'd show the lastest in fur ware...
Does this look like 4 months old to you? It reminds me of the tweenage boys with the gangling feet we always teased them about. Don't know if you can see this, but I'm telling you this dog is slew-footed just like me - I have the perfect ballerina feet. Too bad that's all....sigh. LOL

hm... what an odd thing on your peacock design that the colour doesn't go together. Did you check the designers page to see if they have an corrections posted? (can't tell who the designer is from your photo).
I'd love to be entered in your draw.

I love the heart! I like the idea of a round robin, but time does not permit me to make deadlines all the time (not with a toddler around!).
I would love to be included in your giveaway!

Great stitching, Carolyn... and oh, your doggie is sooo cute!
Please include me in your drawing. mearitaira@yahoo.com. Tax day is a GREAT day for a drawing!!
Beautiful stitching! Your puppy is so cute. I can't imagine why that one color would be on that chart...seems strange. Can you ask the designer by email?
Happy Belated Birthday!!

Isn't confetti fun? LOL I figure my HAED should be done sometime around 2025 too! I know several people doing the heart RR thing. Will be interesting to see how they turn out! Gotta love the paws.....looking forward to see him on his 1st birthday!
Oh my Gosh! Please enter me in the drawing. Glad to hear the newlyweds had a great time.

What a great give away. Please enter my name in the draw as well. My email is Gabi2111@gmail.com
The heart RR looks interesting. And I admire your HAED. Stitching a big thing like that on 25ct over one is already a big thing...but doing that on black leaves me in awe.
And Montana...he is simply adorable. I love each picture of him.
What a generous drawing! I can't stitch yet since my wrist surgery (almost a month ago since my icy accident! see my blog if you don't know what I'm talking about), but I'm hoping to stitch soon. Please add me to the drawing.
Thanks & hugs, Elaine
