A Hardanger Happy Dance.....

I finally finished my hardanger Christmas tree.

My oldest daughter told me I was not allowed to make it all red because Christmas trees are green.

I did realize while I was doing the stars that I put in 2 kloster blocks that were not supposed to be there. So I did take them out so I could put the correct stitch in.

I think it turned out great.... although, did not really get the hang of the doves eyes until I was 5 rows from the bottom.

I did refuse to take the wrong ones out just because this was a learning piece and others need to see that everyone makes mistakes.

Got a tiny finish..

Well Monday, I had to go through jury selection. Yippee!
I dreaded going only because I did not want to be bored off my rocker. I did a happy dance when they not only did not take my small scissors but they also let me keep my needle. So I was able to start and finish this little piece. This is finish #15 for 2009.

Now I have to wait to see if I have to go back for jury duty as I await them reviewing a questionnaire packet that I was required to fill out. It makes it difficult to find a job when I cannot give a definite day to start. I hope I hear soon whether or not I have to go back. I also hope and pray I can find work soon. Even though, I enjoy having quiet time without anyone home, actually get the house clean and makes it easier to look online for work.

I am getting so bored no having work.
Come on people, I love filing!!!
Just try me out for a week or a month!

A celebration!!!!! With lots of laughs!

This weekend we celebrated my younger sister's 28th birthday.

Hubby just had to make her cake.... which anyone that knows him knows that means an unusual cake guaranteed to make you smile and laugh.

Here is a picture of the cake.Here is a picture of the inside of the cake.
Here is a picture of a very happy face after enjoying the soil, pudding mud and worms.

THANK YOU SONDA!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a quick thank you being sent out to Sonda.

She RAK'd me with her Just Nan - When Barnabee Met Bella biscornu pattern after she was finished with it. (picture is the one Sonda stitched... I have not started mine as I just got this today)

I have been drooling over this pattern for awhile. I cannot wait to stitch it up.

Thanks again Sonda.

Can you help?

Anna W. has contacted me and really made me chuckle with this comment she made...

"My blog wants to be like yours when it grows up."

Thank you for the comment as well as the chuckle, Anna.

I would like to help her figure out what one of her pieces is called and who the designer is.

She did a wonderful job stitching this one up....
