..ya know?

There are many things I have in my stash, bought and free, that I would love to do, but haven't for one reason or another gotten to. An example of this is the Dragon Dreams "Dragon of Hope" design , which Annie is working on now. I saw that gorgeous little purple dragon on her blog, *sigh, and I want to make it so badly. I have no idea what I would do with it when I am done, but it's on my to make list. Someday.
Well I think someday needs to move up a bit. My sister would love it. Just know it. I love it. It could go on a journal, or on the wall or on a throw pillow.... My son might even like it too. And this goes for the whole series of Generosity/Elemental Dragons!
Wonder if a bellpull style of them all could be pulled off and have it look nice with me and my brand new finishing skills, *chuckle.
Thoughts to ponder.

I managed a few half crosses on Cats- nothing WIP picture worthy. The first I have touched it since February. I didn't cry. It felt sort of peaceful actually.

I'd Rather Be Stitchin'....

And here it is, in black & white:

I tried to condense it down as much as I could. I embedded my name and year near the bottom and tried to keep is at simple as possible.

Thank you Monique of http://mymarkdesigns.wordpress.com/, for the saying.

Blogger is acting weird. I can't seem to edit in html mode which is my preferred method. Hmm. Nor can I grab a previously drafted quickie, I was just going to grab it and paste it into this post, but it won't work. Maybe later.

My apologies for anyone who's getting bombarded (more than usual) with drafts of this post through their feeds. Can't make it the way I want it!

Thank you for the comments. :)

Happy St. Patrick's day everyone!

flossbox findings

One word,wow.
Emily, of The Flossbox, (a site with tons of interesting info and wonderful free patterns) posted about a comparison she did of a few crafts such as cross stitch, knitting, crochet, scrapbooking and more to see what people are really doing for crafts.
The results are so interesting.

Freebie!

Thank you Jenna! This is the pattern I made. It was small, simple, and interesting to boys and girls to stitch. I got "Ooooh!"s when I showed it to them.
The border with green, then red, J. chose to go around it was all his own idea. He did a great job with his color choices.
I left lots of room around it so that once printed it gives some room to add whatever you like.
Enjoy!

Peacedolls

I read at the celticcrossstitch group there is an online project called the Peacedoll Challenge. I have created a pattern and barring any complications, will be posting it here for a little while. It is very, very simple and meant to be shared and made personal. Change the faces, hair and whatever you like. But please remember I made it and do not pass it off as your own.
I may just include the link from my photoalbum unless I can find a better way of supporting it. Please do share your thoughts, and if possible, you happen to stitch it, the pics or links for us to follow.
Oh and I included blank faces for people to play with and make changes. I think with changes of color and do-dads such as hats and things, or something of meaning in a hand it could be really cute
