Please help!

My hubby is trying to help our daughter. She is trying so desperately to go to college to become a teacher and work. She is doing this on her own but has gotten very depressed as her vehicle has died on her and the college, her internship, her job and her place of residence are way too far apart for her to make it by city transit. It is making her feel like she may have to quit on her dream to be a teacher.

So hubby set up this fund to see if people would be willing to help her out in trying to get a vehicle.
If you can donate great - if you can share this with others that would be great too. I know she would appreciate the help since she does not know he started this for her.

Please click here to see the page set up for her.

For 2013

I have been challenged to admit what UFO/WIP I have and also determined to finish my WIP/UFOs.
I want to be able to finish a bunch of them.
Some I am very ashamed as they maybe had 20 stitches on.
I would love to get 5 done this year at least.

Should I get 2 done I am permitting one new start.


Feel free to join me in this challenge.

To see my first step accomplished - admitting to UFO/WIP starts see my WIP/UFOs page.
Yea!!!! That is a hard step.

The next hard step is finding stitching time and getting something done.
Stay tuned.

Super Duper Biggest Happy Dance EVER!!!


Super proud of myself and dancing the happiest happy dance EVER!!!!

Back in 2009, my online hardanger teacher had us do the pansy sampler from Thea and VS. Excited I was as I was doing so great...

I made a HUGE boo boo and cut the wrong threads.
I had gotten so depressed and upset that I could not even think a fix would be possible. My teacher passed away and it just sat there looking back at me waiting for me to get the courage and figure out a fix for it......

I am happy to announce MY LONG AWAITED FINISH!
