Show and Tell!

Hi Everyone

Last month I was busy stitching but could not show you, but I can now.  I managed to finish the lettering during the last IHSW week end.


Noah's Ark - from a Donna Kooling book.

For the Noah's Ark design, I used my own colours, as I have so many left over threads that I could use.  The original colours are more pastel shades.  As the card was for a boy I changed the pink elephants for mauve and purple.






I found these two little design from Creative work Shops from Hetti.  It can be found here:- http://creativeworkshopsfromhetti.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/sal-delft-blue-love-to-stitch-part-5.html
I used my own colours from my stash.  I think I might make it into a needle case.




This little blackwork design is in Cross Stitch Crazy Issue 212.  A Lesley Teare design.




This little Celtic Knot design is not yet finished, so is a Work in Progress or WIP.




A little Cross design for Easter.



A Margaret Sherry Design.  Another Work in Progress - but nearly there.


Easter

I hope everyone enjoyed a joyful Easter.  I received a beautiful cross stitched card from my friend Mary Grace in Malta.




The design can be found on a Polish blog called Hafted Malowane, and can be found here:-http://danihaft.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/moje-juz-wielkanocne-wzorki.html




I sent Mary Grace one of my own little Celtic Cross designs.

As usual I would like to share some freebies that I have discovered on the web.

Giveaway

Nancy at the Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe is having a "New Line of floss give-away, enter now!!!"  Drawing to be 15 April, so there is still time to enter.


Well!  I hope I have remembered to share with you all that things that I have stitched and all the things that I wanted to share with you.

Until next time.

Take Care and Happy Stitching Everyone

In this manner my acquaintance Wesley Virgin's autobiography starts with this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL VIDEO.

Wesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he unveiled hidden, "SELF MIND CONTROL" tactics that the government and others used to obtain everything they want.

These are the exact same methods tons of celebrities (notably those who "come out of nothing") and top business people used to become wealthy and successful.

You probably know that you only use 10% of your brain.

That's because the majority of your brainpower is UNTAPPED.

Maybe that conversation has even occurred IN YOUR very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head about 7 years ago, while driving an unregistered, trash bucket of a car with a suspended license and in his pocket.

"I'm so frustrated with living check to check! When will I finally make it?"

You've been a part of those those questions, am I right?

Your success story is going to be written. You just have to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.

WATCH WESLEY SPEAK NOW
