So last weekend was my birthday and hubby spoiled me with a weekend get-away and some fun shopping. He also surprised me with a techy gift. Did you notice my new blog address?? I’m a dot com now! and I have my own email address attached to my blog so if you ever want to drop me a note, you can at ginny@mytimestitching.com
I received a couple of stitchy gifts for my birthday. I received these from my VBSF (Very Best Stitchy Friend):
Johanna knows I LOVE tea pots and tea cups. It is so perfect. If I had a needle, scissors and a hoop on my getaway, I would have already started this cute stitch. This will look lovely in my kitchen one day. And the beautiful pendant she made from clay. This photo really doesn’t do this piece justice. It is really gorgeous in person. She is so talented. Thank you so much, Johanna.
I received a surprise package all the way from Singapore from a dear blogging friend, Angela.
A beautiful stitch kit that will be perfect in my new craft room (coming this Spring). It says DREAM, sorry I covered that up with the cute little scissors. And a bag full of buttons and charms. I can’t wait to use them in my crafting. Thank you for thinking of me, Angela.
And now my update on Ella, the Frog Princess:
I feel she is going so slow. I have been working on her for about 4 weeks now and this is only the middle of the dress layers. I guess I have my wish to stitch on a lady with a big dress 😉 This is definitely a Big Yellow Dress. I hope to have much more done the next time I update her. In case you are viewing her for the first time, she is Ella, the Frog Princess by Mirabila. I am stitching her on Pandora 16ct Aida from Hand Dyed Fabrics by Stephanie.
So, are you working on a project that just seems to be slowly getting done?

I know, I do miss stitching. Maybe kits are the way to go so I won’t have to go to Singapore if I run out of something.

Thank you Joey. I had a great birthday weekend. I am very blessed. Yeah, Ella’s dress is pretty big. Once I get all the bottom ruffles and flounces done, going up up to her skinny waist and the rest should be a piece of cake 🙂 I can’t wait to get to the little frog.

Happy belated birthday 🙂 What lovely gifts too! I’m working on The Loyal Union Sampler. The first eleven blocks have taken over a year to complete. I know I’ll finish it one day.

Thank you. I have a project that I started in the mid 90’s I believe. The Nativity by Marbek. I know I will finish it some day. I just can’t believe I have let it go for this long. Your quilt will be completed one day also. Maybe our projects are meant to be finished at a certain time for a certain reason. Like everything happens for a reason, so do our projects 🙂

Thank you, Diya. I had a wonderful birthday with many surprises. I am really geeked about my domain and can’t wait to get some time to start looking into what else I can do with my blog. In the meanwhile, I am still stitching away on Ella, but I can tell that I have slowed down a bit.
