Cross Stitch Update and a Fun Purchase


Last night I finished the January block of Anniversaries of the Heart! I had planned to dedicate this one to my hubby, but I didn't plan ahead well enough. I learned I need to plan out the personalization BEFORE I start stitching the motifs! There wasn't room for his name. So since this is the first block of a pattern dedicated to my family, I decided that EST (Established) 1984, was appropriate - the year we got married.

I wasn't so sure about that peacock - peacocks hold no special interest to me. But then a few weeks ago someone came up with a new logo for our Auburn University basketball team It's a peacock! Okay, so now peacocks do have a special meaning for us. We have been enjoying watching the basketball games, though I haven't been to any more since I caught flu when I went over the holidays.

I have barely started the border for the February block. By the time I finish the border, I need to decide about the personalization details.

***************

Through Jo Kramer's blog (joscountryjunction) I discovered Deborah Harry. Find Deborah's site on Facebook. She makes the most adorable project bags using vintage linens. Oh my - they are gorgeous!!!!  Well, that sounded like something fun for me to make. 


Above is one of Deborah's cute project bags. I just LOVE these!

But I didn't have any vintage linens! Well, I knew that Jo Kramer's daughter (Kayla) has an etsy shop (PinsThrifting) with all things vintage. So I went there and order a few vintage linens. Aren't they adorable??? I also got some vintage rick rack from her and a few vintage children's books. 


The shipment came so fast. It was packaged so well and wrapped in a piece of vintage fabric - and old sheet, I think. So now I have another project


Kayla used old ephemera for her business cards - isn't the best idea ever? 

So go check out Deborah Harry on Facebook - she is dropping new project bags on etsy this weekend. And also check out PinsThrifting on Etsy.

Have a great day and continue to stay safe!

  3. HACK VANISH RECOVERED MY LOST 19.78 BITCOIN AND AIDED ME FIX MY CREDIT REPORT

    In Dec, 2021, I invested the sum of 19.78 BTC with a fake blockchain impostor I met online, all the money I had saved up since 2014 got stolen just within a Month, my whole life almost crumbled, to crown it all my FICO score was so bad that I couldn't even afford securing a loan to help my kids, but everything became better after I joined a forum online where I met people testifying about HACK VANISH, a hacker who has been helping thousands of people all over the world. I decided to reach out to him via the following contact shared on the platform Text/Call/WhatsApp: + 1 (747) 293-8514, Email: hackvanish@ gmail. Com, they responded and requested for all necessary details needed in carrying out my JOB, to my greatest surprise my bitcoin was recovered and my credit report fixed, FICO score was boosted to 783 across all 3-credit bureau's, all negative items cleared just within 8 days. I can't stop expressing my profound gratitude to this great team of hackers, I strongly recommend them to anyone in need.
