From Barb (no blog) at Thursday stitching - these wonderful marking pins.
From sweet Clare - these wonderful goodies - look at that lighthouse fabric - LOVE IT!!! and the lighthouse card. That key holder will hold the key to my new house in a few weeks.
My DIL and son gave me this too cute snail that my granddaughter Drew named Esci - for escargot LOL.
And Drew - well she made me this sign on the beach with the lovely pile of seaweed. Works for me!!!!! Will treasure this photo always.
Melissa also sent me this lighthouse card with my gorgeous lighthouse box. It is Peggy's Cove lighthouse in Nova Scotia. I was born in Nova Scotia and stood on those rocks in 2000!!!
And here are my stitching progresses.
I finished up this wallhanging. It was a kit and went together very nicely! I consider it a stitching progress cause I had to add the windows and the rails after with floss.
I brought my lighthouse RR to the cottage and got lots done. I did the boat border up the right side.
I decided to name and number each lighthouse underneath - over 1 on 32 count. My eyes just about crossed.
I added the words - Lighthouse Keepers and added the names of the stitcher for each lighthouse.
I'm really liking how it is coming together.
And Royal Holiday got some major work!!!
Here she is before.
And here she is now!!!! She will now be my focus piece until she is done! I can finally see an end in sight.
Well, off to buy a kitchen countertop, and hardwood floor and paint for the master bedroom. Three weeks until we have possession of our new house. Am I excited!! You bet!!!!
Until next time - keep those needles singing.

First of all: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Wonderful gifts you received. I love the photo of your granddaughter. I think that's the best gift of all :)
Your lighthouse RR is wonderful, and your other WIP is coming along nicely.
Great pictures all around! The Nova Scotia lighthouse was a happy accident. The artist had a number of lighthouse shots in her shop, I just picked what I thought was the prettiest one.
Eagerly awaiting a Royal Holiday happy dance!
Well Congratulations to your Birthday and Many Happy Returns. I love all of your stitching and those lighthouses are amazing.
Be always in stitches.
Happy birthday to you,

Now my singing is not so great but that birthday greeting from your granddaughter in the sand sure is!
I love all your gifts! That must have felt like Christmas had come.
The lighthouse wallhanging is so neat! I have never seen anything like it but I love it. Do you know where it will go in your new house? :-)
