Cruise and an exchange

HI! Doug and I are back from our cruise with his family last week. It was alot of fun, got some sun and had some yummy drinks everyday. :) Cabo San Lucas wasn't all it was cracked up to be, quite dirty, etc, but we just walked around and shopped a bit. We did go to Sammy Hagar's bar, Cabo Wabo both days we were docked there.
this pic is of Land's End in Cabo.

this is Doug and I on the ship in front of Land's End


I have a finish that landed for the exchange i was in, pin pillow exchange organized by BeckySC. I stitched BBD's Bluebird for Marie. I am in the process of finishing the stithcing on this for myself as well. :)
here is the pic I took of teh pin pillow for Marie

I stole one of Marie's pics because i forgot to get a pic of the pillow with the rusted safety pin in it. DUH!

Halloween.....................

Well the title says it all. All i have pics of today is Halloween designs and just appropriate since Halloween is next week already. I can't believe it is almost the end of October already. We have finally turned the AC off here in Arizona, finally for the last time. Just a few days ago it was 100 degrees outside. UGH! But it seems to be cooling down and hopefully will stay.
My first finish i have to share is one of my Fair & Squares i received last year from Marie P. for the Halloween Round. I just "finished" it the other day into a pinkeep. Thank you Marie!


Halloween by La D Da was stitched by Michele on a 30ct (halloween) green linen. i finished this one into a pillow for her. I love how it turned out. It lovingly sat on my mantle with my halloween pillow for a couple hours while i finished the next pillow for her as well. "Wicked" by PrimitiveBettys (free chart). I had also stitched this one and finished our's together. Mine is stitched on the orange fabric and Michele's is the tan fabric. They both have a black fabric on the back.

Exchanges, exchanges

I am still here, just didn't have a camera to post. Hubby was out in the woods hunting for Elk (he got his, woohoo). He is now home and i have my camera back. whew!

I have been working on exchanges and more exchanges lately. I have a few i can share today and a few that i cannot yet.

here is my f&s halloween round from Marie P. Marie stitched this great witch from a PS pattern. I am sure it will become a pinkeep. Then i also rec'd my f&s round #9 from Lynda A. Lynda stitched this great piece that is in my favorite color, purple and this will definitely become a biscournu.






Well, i will be back with more pics later.
