Wow--YGG! Sounds like a busy time. Good for you on charting your own designs! I can't wait to see them.
It's been hot here too, but it's cooling down soon.
I can't wait to see your first design!
Hi Julie,
I am the lucky winner of your draw for "The Promise" and I received your beautiful package today...so beautifully wrapped...a card...a lovely book of needles...all a beaufiful bonus.
Thank you so much for your generous gift.
I have just spent some time on your blog and I think my favorite item that you have made is the scissors case that you made for your Mom....so sweet.
I will keep in touch...I keep opening the kit and feeling those beautiful silk threads....peeking at the beads and darling little charms!
Yippeee....I'm happy.
Thanks and best regards from
Gail in Washington State
Hey, Julie! Welcome to the Jane Austen Stitcher's Group. I see, from looking at your blog that we have several things in common...we both love Col. Brandon in Sense & Sensibility, we both are Twilight fans and we both loved the new Star Trek movie. I am sure there are other similarities, but those were the ones, besides cross-stitch that I immediately picked up on. :-)
I find it depends on which version of Pride & Prejudice you see. I've got 2 but the BBC version from the late 90's is my favourite. Already burnt out the video version and replaced on DVD. I wasn't keen on the recent Hollywood version. ITV here in the UK did a series last year called "Inside Jane Austin" it was great, hoping they bring it out on DVD. Can't believe your parents mailbox was stolen..huh???? They'll take anything nowadays!
Oh Gail! I'm so happy that you received your winnings well, and I thought those needles would come in handy for a quilter. :o)
Hi J Rae! Thanks for welcoming me to the JA group. It does appear we have at least 3 things in common. I'm sure there is WAY more. :D
What a full and wonderful summer you've had! :D How's Jose like school this year? What's up with kids starting in August, btw? I hope the meds the doc prescribed keep those migraines at bay - I had one while we were gone (first one years!!) and I thought I'd gladly go lay out in the road just to end the misery.
