I've been doing some stitching, unfortunately I can't show any of it because it's all for exchanges or Christmas gifts but I do want to show a new chart that I fell in love with the minute I saw it .. It's Peppermint Twist by Blue Ribbon Designs and talk about WOW! I am definately doing this in 2009, anyone want to join me? On Belinda's website she lists all the supplies need for all the different things you can stitch from this design .. how cool is that :)
Tonight I'm meeting Monica (my dil) for dinner and heading to Barnes and Noble for a book we've both been waiting patiently for ... the last book to the Sign of Seven Trilogy. It's been months between the release of book 2 and 3 .. I'm sooo excited to read this one .. this has been a wonderful trilogy! another WOW and throw in a WOO HOO! lol
And my last WOW is for the fun threadholders and counters that Monique makes ... I've already ordered a couple of her Christmas ones .. I'm sooo addicted to them! functional and fun .. what could be better! Ohhhh and she painted a reindeer on one .. of course I bought it! lol
Hope you are having a wonderful short week!
I'm grateful for new books and new charts ...

That is one cool pattern _ I love it and all the other things you can make from that one pattern. Thanks for sharing or should I say enabling lol.
I was just visiting her site last night! I like this design too and may have to join you.
I must say you talk about the two things I love to do best in your post! Read Nora Roberts and Cross stitch!! I have the first book in the trilogy that you are reading. I m getting ready to start it I can't wait!

Really a great chart! My plates pretty full or I'd love to do a SAL. But can't wait to see yours!
New books and new charts are surely two of the finer pleasures in life!!
What a fun design, I hadn't seen that one yet. I love all the different finishes that it shows. Hmmm, just may need to add that one to my list. I'm doing another of hers in 2009 as a SAL with my DSIl, Six Bats and a Witches Hat. My DSIL is doing her Letters, Leprechauns, and Luck one.

That design is lovely - i will enjoy watching you stitch it next year!
I LOVE Belinda's new design! My friend Chris and I are hoping to stitch it November/ December next year! LOL! We're planning ahead!
MMM now who'd have thought you'd have ordered a thread holder with a reindeer on!! LOL!
I think I may have to stitch that one too. If I ever find the time to stitch. LOL
I think I'll add that to my Christmas list this year. :-)
I love Blue Ribbon Designs! The newest releases are spectacular....but I have been trying so hard to stay away from new designs. The urge to buy is too hard to resist. I may have to join you in this SAL however!
Thanks for the book recommendation!
Nice designs! But woohoo I need to check out this Nora Roberts series! I have not read her books in a few years because I like to read her series book back to back. Thanks!
(oops I had typos in previous posting)
I'm reading the third Nora Roberts book. Can't wait to see what you think! Love all your stitching projects!!!
