Stash, a Valentines exchange , a SAL , and a WIP

I had a great day today despite the cold and wind and my having a cold/sinuses. I started stitching on Christmas Angel by Joan Elliot from one of The Cross Stitcher issues. i had stitched the browns and reds alons with some of the white in the wing, last fall. So today I added the greys and backstitching of a section.


While I was stitching away on the angel I heard the mail lady honk her horn, which means she has a package for me. So DH went out and grabbed the mail. I received this Valentine exchange from Kirtsen and we are members of the Stitchingbrats Yahoo group. I just love this box that looks like leather .

inside of the box had red threads and a pack of notecards. Thank you so much Kirsten. I just love it!!

I started LK February Stamp. I am doing this as a monthly stitchalon and the LK stitchalon on Friends Gather BB. I go quite a bit done on that as well.
Also in the mail today was L&L Angel if the Sea. My friend Ruthann from the Cross Stitch pals was giving away some patterns and I asked for this. I don't know when I will get to it but it was on my wish list :-) Thank you Ruthann!!

I was watching HGTV tonight as they were showing the dream home that they are giving away this year. it is in NC in the mountains along a lake and is so gorgeous. There are guest quarters on one side of the house that sleeps 11. This would be a perfect place for a stitchers retreat. Was all open and had alot of comfy furniture, which everything was included in this house. I am sure it is on their website. You should go check it out :-)
