OK here we are a short time AFTER I have drawn the name of the winner...anyone care for a drumroll?
Thanks so much to all that participated, I am so sorry if you didn't win, wish I could send everyone something! Anyway, I did take a picture of the piece that will be going to Deborah...but the rest of the goodies, will not be divulged, because of two reasons...I still have some things I want to add...and also she should be the first to see, don't you all agree?
This sweet little pillow was stitched by me and finished by dear Faye who does absolutely gorgeous finishing work and she always, always makes every little finish, so unique to herself and whomever she is finishing it for. Anyway, I hope that you enjoy this small pillow, Deborah...I so wanted to include something with a bit of a heart theme, since this is Valentine's month and my birthday all rolled into one! So....there will be more goodies, and the goody package will be on it's way next week, so please email me, Deborah with your mailing info at my email address, please! tree of life 50@frontier.com. Thanks for playing!
Well, I have been trying my best to stitch every day, and have been true to that, for these first six weeks of 2012, with the exception of maybe three days, when I didn't pick up the needle. And not every day, did I put in very many stitches, but I am pleased to say that even with the minimal stitching, progress is made. I said I wouldn't share another picture of Time and Season Sampler by Moira Blackburn, until it was finished, but I just feel that I need to go back on that statement and share my progress. Still lots of stitching left to do, but feeling pretty confident (maybe I shouldn't say that) that T & S will be a finish for 2012!! I can only hope! Here are a couple pics:
Do you see that word TIME? There will be a TIME that I get this sampler done, framed and on the wall, right? That is why the year is not yet stitched in the upper right hand border! lol This is stitched on 32 ct Antique Ivory with DMC threads.
And our dear Margaret suggested I start sharing some pics, of my sweet, sweet companion and darling kitty, Boo...so here is Boo (aka Sugar Smack) my 7 year old calico.
That is it for this week, dear readers! I appreciate you stopping by for a visit and posting a comment. It is a joy to read them!
Congratulations to...........DEBORAH of Cranberry Samplings fame

I really love your sampler Jan. I think it's a lovely mix of colours and motifs. That bunny is so cute!
This one will have to go on to my wishlist for sure.
What a sweet pillow and I love your sampler WIP :-).
Congrats to Deborah! That is a lovely pillow.
I love your Time and Season sampler. I have that one in my WIP/UFO pile. I pulled it out the other day and noticed that I had stitched 2010 on it already. I must have been really ambitious when I started it thinking I would finish it that year. LOL!
Love your Boo. I have a Boo kitty too. :)
Lovely sampler! Yes, there WILL be a time when you finish this and it's hanging in your home. :-)
Deborah will love the package. The sampler is gorgeous.
Congratulations to Deborah.
Time & Season is looking gorgeous
Love those Moira Blackburn pieces! You've done lovely stitching on Time and Season.
Congrats to Deborah! And your Blackburn piece is gorgeous - you will have it done in no time, I'm sure!!
Faye always does a beautiful job, but that's such a cute finish! Nice stitching. T & S is beautiful. And so is your kitty!
There's some nice progress on the MB sampler. I just love it, it's one of her most beautiful samplers for me.
