Ok, more progress on SK Light of The World, better colors. Not sure I will get more done on that soon(sigh). Have picked up a hooded baby towel that needs to be personalized.....and other holidays etc to get working on.

Congrats to the HAED XMAS Contest winner, but the runner up chart was just lovely, too. More than I expected.

And I have the floss list for QS Terra Fairy Sprite in hand. Well, in the drawer. Can't even look at that right now. Itching to, but other things need to get done first. Need a pic at least in 6 months each over the year, so will get to see more pics, as it's a larger project.

Merry Christmas everyone! Count your blessings.....

Another Ornament and HAED Sale

Finally got another one done, man, I've been behind! That's it for XMAS stuff, at least for right now. I have floss organizing to do, and probably some destashing, etc. And, serious stitching.


HAED is having their XMAS Sale, 20% off til 12/19. And don't forget their contest!

SK LOTW and New Year SAL

Ok,not a lot to see, but that is my picture last week of SK Light of the World. Took me way too long to start, but it is started. It will be fantastic when it's done, I'm sure of it, but I make no guarantees of when it will be!


Also, there is a new SAL for the full year starting soon with HAED, are you joining? I'm thinking it will be Terra Fairy......and again, I can't start it until I get SK Mermaid done; just not.

HAED Thanksgiving Sale

Ok, the XMAS poinsettia kitchen towel, one of several, is done . Something along the line of real finished, ready to use products, have to have some of those. Corny perhaps, but necessary.

And HAED is having a Thanksgiving sale, 25% off through 11/26. Anybody thought about which 25 cross stitch charts they would like if they won the Christmas contest???

HAED Veteran's Day Sale

Nice surprise, just saw on the Heaven and Earth Designs site that there is a 25% off sale, today only! Thank a vet and get some cross stitch charts! (And don't forget about their Christmas contest, if you can enter. That will be such fun for whoever wins!)


Not a lot else to report here, in a weird lull for XMAS. Working on XMAS kitchen towels(need something that is a truly "finished" product) and such. Brought out SK Mermaid and have done some stitches, still struggling with confetti. And I started SK LOTW last night, on 22ct white. Gotta have something for those pics!


And lastly, an update on those side money making things.....High marks for Onbux, moderate for Neobux.....and I am enjoying Swagbucks, too. (I also have Mturk going on the side...and Mypoints--I can send you a referral email.) Feel free to ask me on any of that stuff, questions, strategies, etc. Happy to share now that I've figured out what works!

Pretty & Pink Finished

Ok, Pretty & Pink, the flamingo, is finished, photographed(so so) and listed on Artfire. Here Probably my quickest finish, while not working elsewhere. Blended colors, 2x2 on 28ct, eye is 1x1 though, and I was liking that a lot, may need to try more 1x1. HAED charts would fit on reasonable fabric sizes then. Working on more XMAS felt ornaments now. Things are a bit slower going than I'd like, and some other outside distractions, but I am making progress.

HAED is having a Halloween sale, cross stitch charts 25% off through 10/30. And, I do have to fit in time to work on SK Mermaid, and start SK Light of The World(1 page for end of year). Those were goals for the end of the year that it would be sweet to make. See how far I can get. Not sure if I mentioned those will be the beginnings of giveaway items.

New Online Store

I took advantage of opening another store on Artfire, but I don't have anything really done on it yet, so nothing particularly to show you. If you make holiday crafts though, I'd entertain the thought of putting them in this other store.

Pretty & Pink has been my main focus lately, hopefully that will be finished and listed within a week. Christmas stuff is on the brain, and I expect to be in high gear for that(and the beads, this is the time) until nearly XMAS, esp for the new store...

And of course, could just use the bucks. Not sure how people are getting by. In the meantime, updated my affiliate links....I do believe there is money there, for those who wait!! I personally like the "Bux" sites, PTC. No scam ones listed--but there are strategies(go google) on making real money, at least while they exist!
