Owl Stitch Along and Giveaways Galore

I have just joined a group called OakHaven Designs Yahoo Group and I am participating in there Stitch along.  So here is a picture of the January Owl.  I just loved this owl from the moment I saw him.  Just need to finish the February Owls and I will be on track to start March.   Just 11 more for me to stitch.  It's the first time I have joined a SAL and everyone stitching the same thing!  Oh, I am enjoying this!   If you want to see more OakHaven Designs have a look at there blog.

 I've finally pick up my "Time and Season Sampler", so I thought I would show you an update on it.  There is still lots to stitch.  Hopefully by next week I will be able to show you a bit more done.

Time and Season Sampler - WIP

As promised, I'm attaching a photo of the "Time and Season Sampler" so that you can see how I have progressed during the week.

I have added my initials which you can see at the bottom, and also the year 2011, which means I will have to finish it this year.  It's gown so fast since I last posted a photo, as I have not stitch anything else.

Happy Stitching

What a lovely Surprise!

The postman called yesterday with a package.  I was not expecting anything.  Oh, what a lovely surprise!  I had entered a "giveaway" from "New Stitches" Magazine and won.  I had won a new Sampler Kit by Moira Blackburn called "How to sow beans".

"Time and Season Sampler"

I just love samplers and have already started another one of her kits called "Time and Season Sampler".  I purchased this one over 17 years ago, but for some reason had stopped.  So I got it out of my WIP stash and have started again.

This is how I found it on 6 January 2011.

Well, since then I have been stitching away and enjoying every minute of it.  It's grown quite a lot in a week.

I will post a picture once a week to show you how it is progressing.

Happy Stitching
