Hi ! Hope that everyone is doing well on their biscornu exchange... Post here when you send and recieve yours so I can keep track of who may not have gotten theirs ... There is a list on the right where I am keeping track ... Thank you !

Thanks Laura!

I got my biscornu from Laura! The little froggies are so cute, I love it! Thank you for the extra treats as well! I will definitely put them to good use.

Rebekah`s Progress on the Dark Sorceress

Three Ladies Deadline

March 24th is the deadline for the 3 LADIES AND March 1st for the biscornu exchange ... I stand corrected and am pretty glad ... I will make it on time!

Vonna has recieved her Fair and Squares so...

here are the pics :)

I'm Back!

I'm finally back! We had to completly wipe out the hard drive and re load windows and everything else. It was a major pain in the rear. I almost bought a new computer but I'll stick with my outdated piece of junk for now.

2 Deadlines Approaching Quickly

There are 2 deadlines approaching quickly... March 1st is on its way ... and with it are 2 deadlines 1. The lady we are stitching on... (not our piece ...but the first section that we are to stitch) should be coming to a close for send off... :) 2. Anyone in the Biscornu exchange should be sending off by March 1 as well .... YIPPEE!! A new round in time for summer .... Laura

Laura, I don't know how much furniture you need to replace (if any), but you mentioned a while ago that you were looking for a chaise lounge. My mom and I found a nice discount furniture place with tons of selection - Factory Furniture Outlet on Bothell-Everett Highway (on the Everett end, by the Silver Lake Costco). We were looking for a new sofa and dining room set, and I saw some chaises and thought of you. Their prices are incredible, too. Good luck with moving on with your life. 2 stressful changes at once is hard, but it sounds like you're handling it well. I've been moving slowly on my lady - we have until March, right? I've finished the main background color and am on to the scattered flowers and leaves. I'm excited to do the tweeded stitches soon! I hope that now that I'm done with the large block of color the rest will seem to go more quickly. Andrea

Packages going out in the morning!

I have 2 packages going out in the morning :) I have finished both Rebekah`s Biscornu and I have finished Vonna`s round 5 of the Fair and Squares! I also will be working on the last of the Fairy Queene till it is ready to send... Just a few more days !!! Excited! Laura

Hide your money!

I joined a faery community and there was this ad for a cross-stitch shop. So, silly me, I clicked on the link. Stab and Stash ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL patterns and a sale going on! Just had to share, Pixie

Here is my Biscornu that I received on friday - last Friday that is. It is absolutely perfect. I love the colors and I am a big fan of butterflies, bees, dragonflies - Love it, love it , love it. Thank you!!! I also received my next Lady to work on , which I will start in a week or so.
Moving on.
I so love this group, as it is forcing me to learn and stitch and put together pieces I have never worked on such as pin keeps, biscornu, etc.
Thanks for the experience.
Vanessa

My Lady is ready to move on

I had planned on getting her in the mail over the weekend but something came up and I couldn't get her out. I have 3 out of 3 home today, so the PO is out again, but perhaps tomorrow. Here's a pic of my part: (click to see larger) Pixie

rebekah, we will miss you... sure hope you can hurry back. SO I am in my new apartment in Snohomish.... and I just wanted to say hi... lots left to unpack and clean... of course... moving is so much fun...not.... Talk to you all again soon... Laura

Hello everyone!

I'm having alot of problems with my computer right now. I was told that I will have to get the harddrive totally wiped clean and reinstalled. I'm not happy about that but that's life. So, if I am not around for a while, you will know the reason. I have sent Vanessa's biscornu and the RR lady on to her today. Hopefully, I can fix my computer quickly and be back soon. See you guys later!

Just checking in!

Just wanted to check in... I am part way moved in... long story ... but I actually got the keys this morning instead of on the weekend ... so ... now I am finished with tonights homework. I am also sick ... almost better I think.... I hope.... it is a dreadful thing that seems to be going around up here... hope none of you get it... for 3 days I literally felt like I could not get out of bed.... today I am out of bed... and better than yesterday .... tomorrow should be better. I should be moved in by the weekend so I can unpack. Perhaps I can even do something with mom. HUGS to all, and thank you all for your support. I GOT MY FOB... Posted a pic at the Hooked on Exchanging link and Rebekah, dont give up on me.... Your biscornu is still finished but because of moving it hasnt been sent yet... soon... I promise Laura
