Ok. so now I'm starting to feel kind of silly! I was doing cut and paste the links to some awsome sites, I know I'm doing it correctly but when I cut and past, then poste it, it comes out different than what I wanted to paste, thuse, the duplication of sites. OK. so it's about time this does it correctly. I'll give it one more chance. Ok, I'll add a couple of them. I just found this one and I love the pictures. http://www.craftandfabriclinks.com/stitches/embroidery_pg2.html

cross your fingers. I'm going to post this.

Here is one more that I love.
Ok. so here is one more embroidery stitch dictionary that shows you how to do these stitches. When I saw this site, I just had to share it with you. It is another favorite of mine.

Do enjoy and I think it would be great to get a piece of muslin and make a sample of stitch, a kind of visual dictionary. Wouldn't that be fun.

Hello,
I've realized that I posted a link to embroidery stitch tutorial/dictionary but I see that some how I duplicated one and then one just doesn't work. I am so sorry, so, it's time to correct myself.

Have a great day.

It's about time!
I just wonder, how many times have we've said or have been told,"It's about time!"?
Did you ever have to wait a minute or so longer driving through McDonalds than you would have liked? What did you say when that voice came, "May I take your order?" Now, of course I know we didn't actually say it out loud so that they could hear it, but we all know we at least thought it. "It's about time!"
Now some of you, depending where you live have inches and inches of snow. Here in PA, where I live, we have seen only a few flakes of snow from time to time. I am still waiting for winter to happen. Well, I just heard that we could get some snow. Ok, not a lot, but about an inch, which is way more than we've had all winter so far. One of the first things I thought of when I watched the weather on our local station, "It's about time." You know, it really is. It is almost the middle of February and our lawn is..... still green! It's not supposed to be green in the winter time. It is supposed to be white, and may I add, several inches of white.
Well, some of you will read this blog, it's been "Merry Christmas Everyone!" for such a long time. Well now I can say, Happy Valentines Day! And yes,
now you can say, "It's about time that gal wrote something!
It really is about time!
By the way, I know some may be asking, "What in the world have you been doing all this time not writing anything here?" Well, let me think......
I recovered from having 6 staples in my head. I have had a renewed interest in doing some embroidery. I have joined a yahoo group called Hand-Embroidery. I love this group, there are so many wonderful links and lovely women who are just a joy and I have already discovered that the few basic embroidery stitches that I knew was just a drop in the bucket to the number of stitches in the embroidery world. Here is there website in case you may want to join the group.

I know that you would enjoy the group.
Here are some other sites to see some embroidery tutorials:
1) http://www.needlenthread.com/2006/10/video-library-of-hand-
2) http://www.purlbee.com/embroidery-tutorial/
3) http://www.purlbee.com/embroidery-tutorial/ I think this one is my favorite. I never knew that there were so many stitches.
Ok. so what else have I been doing? Well, cleaning my house. Teaching a 3rd and 4th grade Sunday School class. I love this age. they ask the best questioons!
Um well, been toying with checking out some work at home kinds of jobs. Well, I won't say any more about that. I am after all my families maid and my employer wouldn't be ok with me wondering off doing anything else but the house keeping job. Stay tuned. . . . there may be news down the road about that. eh eh eh.
My daughter now has a set of drums in my formal living room. I am amazed at how quickly and how well she is learing how to play them. She now plays the drums for the youth group at our church. Did you know how many people didn't think that girls could play drums? Well, it's about time they found out that girls not only are able, but they can! It's about time that some find this out. hmmm.
Well, I guess I need to get to bed, after all, it is now midnight. My old body will be saying, "It's about time.
Good night y'all.
