Hi... Love your work... I have several fairies that I should be starting as my Granddaughter loves them... also I'm in search of a Poppy chart at the moment...not having much luck though... Love the Boxer....did one myself years ago for my best friend... she has a Boxer named Hunter ....The other pieces are lovely too...

I just won on ebay a chart for Himalayan Blue Poppy...it's really pretty and my friend in Scotland loves Poppies and the color blue/aqua....so guess who's getting that for Christmas?? LOL..

Wow you seem to have a lot going ... I used to never start anything before finishing a project first...then I got a computer and there were so many patterns to find that I then started others and now of course have a basket of WIP...LOL...

Can't wait to see what you have been doing... good luck with webshots....

Wishing everyone a Great Weekend....Gladys

Hello Gladys

When i 1st started x-stitch about 6 , 7 years ago i was doing only about 2 at a time as my stash of goodies was very much less but over the years have coolected all kinds along with getting the magazines every month now has grown,
And i agree with you the computer has helped add more, I work mostly from my magazines,

My Work can be seen on webshots undername of ( pebble6969 )other pictures of my home life. I have done loads more but never took pictures before i sent them to others,
i do keep a photo record of them all now.:)


Take care
Tracey

I went and looked at some of your pics..there are so many and I'm running late so bookmarked the site and will go back and look some more...the pictures I did view are lovely...

Years ago I did crafts shows and did well for a while ...then things slowed down and people weren't spending like they used too ...although I must say my things were very reasonably priced... I made nothing on them but did it for the pleasure...

I got tired of people standing there and looking and saying ''oh how hard can that be?? Anyone could do that..'" I often said under my breath...''then go home and do it.." LOL..

And there was always a mother or two who would allow their child to pick things up and rub their hands all over something and ''scratch'' at the stitches...GRRRRRRRRR and then say nothing to them...so I had to remind them NOT to touch... It turned out being no fun anymore so time to pack it in.. I miss it but not the rude people...

My husband and I took all my things to his sister's down south...Boxes and boxes ... she split everything between the other sisters and that was that... But then I got my computer and was kicking myself for not keeping all those of them...and therefore had to restart...That was the fun part...

I hardly ever keep anything for myself... I make things for gifts or for a friend who asks for a certain piece...I've stitched for charity and have been a test stitcher..This makes me feel so much better then doing the shows...

Now I must get some non-stitching things done...:( There just isn't enough time in the day for everything...

Take care and enjoy what's left of the weekend.... Gladys
