Then my daughter went away for a girls weekend and I had Grandmother duty. I took 2 12 year girls to the Mall on Sunday afternoon. I did a lot of sitting and watching the people while the girls did their shopping. It was fun. I joined in on a "Grow Your Blog" party that Vicki is hosting at http://vicki-2bagsfull.blogspot.com There are 400 blogs that are taking part in it and I have discovered somenew blogs that I am now following. She is having a give a way with it as well. Check it out.
My blog followers have now grown to 206, wow. I am going to have a same give a way on Feb 1. You only have to leave a comment and you email or blog address to win. I will picture it below.
For the new followers, a little about me is that I stitch on a rotation. At the moment I have 19 projects that I rotate, listed on my sidebar. 8 projects, I stitch each week and the others I rotate on a weekly basis. I have also joined a couple of card making blogs, that I am enjoying, also. There are http://365cards.blogspot.com and http://christmascardchallenges.blogspot.com , What fun, I love cards and this is enabling me to grow my collection. You have a challenge daily for the greeting cards and weekly challenge for the Christmas cards.
I did finish my Friendly Stitchers Valentine exchange and got it in the mail on Saturday. I will post a picture next week after she had received it. It is my first finish for 2013. Here is my progress on my WIPs for the past week.

Oooh I love the red showing through on Red Birds, it really makes the piece pop out as you look at it.
Very pretty. I love the Haunted House. You do very pretty stitching.
Your stitching is beautiful! I hope you finish in time for her birthday!
I would love to be entered to win those amazing prizes! I've never been good at making or decorating cards, and I'd really love to own some handmade ones. :)
