Give-away

Today is The Day!


Hello my blogging friends. What a week! It flew by! I did finish the stitching on Spring Basket, but I don’t have a picture. I am hoping to turn it into a little pillow today. I will post a picture when I get it fully finished.

So, I spent the morning going through the comments for all of my giveaways. I am not very techie so I have no idea about those computer picking things, so I did it old school; I wrote out all the names on paper and put them into a hat. So, here are the winners!

For day 1 – Reina Mariposa is Southern Patches!

Day 2- Berroco Yarn – Myparamedicafterlife

Day 3- Blossom – Bkgriffinsnest

Day 4a – Jazlyn fabric – Marielinton

Day 4b – Lugana fabric – Marilyn

Day 5 – Knittterly Things yarn – Pink

Da6 6 – CCN Christmas pattern – Claire93

I wish I had a prize for everyone who left me a comment because you all are so special. You have made blogging so much fun for me. So I thank you all for visiting and commenting and participating in my giveaways. You made my 11 year Blogaversary so special. I look forward to blogging for the next 11 years! So if I pulled your name, email me at mytimestitching@gmail.com with your address so that I can get your prize to you.

Enjoy your stitching and I will see you soon!

Happy Stitching!

Winners and Ella Update


Good morning, blogging friends.  Another cold, cloudy day here and snow on the way…in April!  Though that is not so unusual here in Michigan.  But I was really hoping for Spring.

I pulled names for my blogaversary give-away and they are as follows:

The Knitting give-away:  Nicola Florence

Cross Stitch give-away:  Gretchen Parker

Congratulations, ladies.  Send me an email at ginny@mytimestitching.com with your addresses and I will get your prizes out to you.  So sorry for the delay.

Now for an update on my stitching.  I have been steadily stitching on Ella and am making pretty good progress on her.

Ella update 1

I am almost finished with the ruffles and then I can move onto her waist and arms and I am so excited!!  She is really beginning to come alive.

Ella update 2

In case you are seeing her for the first time, she is Ella, the Frog Princess by Mirabilia.  I am stitching her on 16ct Aida Pandora from Hand Dyed Fabrics by Stephanie.  Just LOVE how she is turning out.

I also have a new app I have been playing with on my phone.  It is called Xstitch.  Have you heard of it?

I heard about it in one of the facebook groups and it sounded like something I needed.  So I bought it for $2.99 and started playing around with it.  It was a little confusing, because I wanted it to do somethings a little different.  You can keep track of your WIP’s and supplies, keep an inventory of  fabrics and threads you have.  It doesn’t have a list for Sullivan Threads or Mill Hill beads and treasures.  You can keep track of charts and kits and wish lists.  So I have been adding things little by little to the app so I can keep track of what I am working on, and where all of my threads are.  I also am going to add all of my inventory and projects that I have kitted up and ready to go and to keep track of charts I have and any supplies that I have for that chart.  It will be nice when I go to the cross stitch store, too.  I can keep a shopping list on it, too.  So have you heard of this app or are you using it?  What do you think of it?
