I hear Arizona is<BR/>lovely in the summer.<BR/><BR/>The Weather Network has issued a<BR/>weather warning for Halton Hills<BR/>and other areas of Ontario. We'll<BR/>be getting rain to start, early<BR/>on Monday morning, and then that<BR/>will change to snow and we could<BR/>get over 15 cm's of that during <BR/>the course of the day!!!<BR/><BR/>Move over Kathy...I'm movin' in<BR/>with you and your DH in Arizona!<BR/><BR/>In slightly less hysterical <BR/>blogging news and comments.....<BR/><BR/>Oh dear. I'm so sorry to hear<BR/>about the further trials and<BR/>tribulations with your Fairies<BR/>In the Garden piece. It was<BR/>looking so pretty too. I really<BR/>admire your determination to <BR/>stitch this piece though. <BR/>Start #4 you say??? Good luck<BR/>with that. <BR/><BR/>The needle roll that you received<BR/>from Jill for the Make a Wish is<BR/>gorgeous!! Such a delicate and<BR/>beautiful design, and it is <BR/>stitched and finished perfectly.<BR/>What a lovely gift to treasure <BR/>and enjoy. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you posted a picture of<BR/>what your HAED will look like when<BR/>it's done. It is lovely. Do you<BR/>find it hard to stitch one of these<BR/>designs???<BR/><BR/>The Easter squares from Melissa<BR/>look fabulous finished into a <BR/>pretty pillow, all ready for <BR/>Easter. Love the rabbit's <BR/>tail. <BR/><BR/>Guess I should sign off and head<BR/>to bed. We're going to need our<BR/>rest for tomorrow's wonderful<BR/>Spring weather. Ugh!!!<BR/><BR/>Cheers (HOHOHO)Crazee4bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978860714766853681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125814105868673998.post-55119451897541101682009-04-05T17:25:00.000-04:002009-04-05T17:25:00.000-04:00Gorgeous needleroll.

Great headway on your HAED. Congrats on being able to start another color. Thanks for posting the picture so we can see what it will look like done, it will be gorgeous. Sorry Fairies didn't work out, but it does sound like a restart might be for the best. If the fabric isn't working, or it takes to much work to see it, it takes so much of the fun out of the project, and stitching should be enjoyable. I'll look forward to seeing it on the white you're thinking of, a bit of sparkle will be fun.<BR/>Suestitcherwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11795367484568298951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125814105868673998.post-55346547198092505552009-04-02T13:29:00.000-04:002009-04-02T13:29:00.000-04:00What a busy stitcher you've been.

And now that I see how nice the walls look all scrubbed down and fresh, I feel quite happy with myself. :)<BR/><BR/>Cutting up your fabric had to have been a hard thing to do, but now you can start totally fresh on a fabric that will work better for you.
