Take a look at....

these pretty chatelaine's. I am so excited

to show them to you. Cathy makes & sells

them for $5.00 each. Hey this is a great buy!!

(But first let me apoligize for

a few photos that are blurry. I tried but the blue & yellow one just

wouldnt come clear enough). Each of them have cute little

charms or buttons attached. For instance sewing machines, look

at the little cupid on the blue one & the little scissors. All of these

have a pincushion attached except the blue one. These are bright

& cheery. Everyone of them will make you smile. I have never owned

a chatelaine - this is my first one & it wont be my last. I could

have used these when I was doing all of that quilting!

You need one

for each project - so it all matches. For this price you can afford to

get a couple of them. All you need to do is to attach your scissors to it &

whatever charms you have. Look at you - a seasoned Pro!

Here they are,,,

photos of the stitching group. All of these people

are smart, friendly & frankly some of the sweetiest

ladies that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Come

on & let me introduce you to them. First we see Becky. Becky is quite - she

is busy, busy stitching. (BYW I hardly get any stitching

done because I keep running my mouth.) She did the Lords Supper

& it now hangs in her church. I never saw it but she said it took her 10

years to stitch it. I bet that its lovely!

Next is my grandaughter Brie. She is new to cross stitching & was a

little shy at having her pict taken.

The lady in the purple blouse - thats Shirley. Shirley is alot like

Becky. For the most part she is quiet - just stitches away. I bet she

gets a lot done. Next is Cathy. Cathy is displaying her nice Lizzie Kate

banner that she is stitching. It sure is nice. (Cathy thought that she

would hide her face - but I snapped another photo of her.)

The lady with the yellow blouse on is my daughter Pepper. She is

stitching a chinese dragon for her son. It is going to be pretty when she's

done. Last is Marsha McGill - the hot air balloon designer. Love those

balloons!

Marsha get your hands out of Cathy's bin!!

Look at that bin. Cathy makes the cutest Chatelaine's. This sweet lady

let me pick out several of them & hey I found her scissors for her!!

Her scissors was attached to one of the chatelaine's.

Cathy is asking only $5.00 for each chatelaine. Thats a steal so if you

want to buy one let me know. The next photos will show more of what

they look like.

I joined a Cross Stitch Group.

About a month ago my daughter & I happened into

Barnes & Nobles when she spotted 5 women cross

stitching. In the group

are Cathy, Shirley, Becky, Lynn & Marcia.

They are very sweet & friendly ladies. Nevertheless me & Pep

& my 2 grandaughters have now joined the club. We

talk and look at what each other is stitching. This week

I will get photos of the group & post them. I would like

to tell you about Marcia. Her full name is Marcia Mcgill.

For those people that have heard of her or has seen

her designs - know that what she has designed is so cute!

I bought 3 of her designs last week. She so kindly autographed

each one of them on the front right side. The first chart that I bought was

'Reindeers Night Off'. I just love how instead of reindeers, Santa's

sled is going everywhere by a hot air balloon. And the houses beneath

the sled. It is so darling that I couldnt resist it.

'January Balloon' was cute also. She told me the story

of this one but I have forgotten. I will get her to tell it to me

again. 'February Balloon' has a heart for its balloon.

Cupid is getting ready to shoot his arrow. I wonder who he will

shoot? Marcia also has the cutest Noah's Ark. Maybe she will let me

post a photo of it. Snakes are actually painting on the ark.

Enjoy the photos
