It's about time... Beatrice

This little piece of Christmas Flourishes is part one of my Mira RR. Just thought I'd share it with you. The group that I stitch with on Thursdays will be adding to it.
And here is my White Christmas. I haven't been doing much blogging for the summer but I have been stitching. She is 2/3's done. I would like her finished by the end of the year.
I've been checking in with the blog and have seen the stunning pieces out there. Kudo's to all of you!
Stitch with happy fingers.

It's been awhile

I've managed to keep looking at the progress through Google reader but my browser has been in bad shape for almost a month. I did stitch and here is what happens when you don't spend hours on the blogs.
I've missed you all and I'm glad I'm back up and running.
Stitch with happy fingers and keep up the lovely work on your Mira's!!!

My Update

Hello there.

For some reason last week I called this little lady by the wrong name...duhhhh a blonde moment I guess.
I'll never call it a senior moment.


She is "WHITE CHRISTMAS."

She is a treat to work on!

Have a good week and stitch with happy fingers.

The weekend is coming again.

My Winter Queen .....She is a charm to work on and now that the weekend is coming I can take her out of the bag. ...Probably tonight. I have to work on the Album of stitches first. It's on black and the daylight works better for that.
Stitch with happy fingers.See you next week.
I had a look at the postings and everyone seems to be working diligently on their Mira's...have fun!

Beartice, has progress to show!

Here is the progress of this weekend past. The colours are quite pretty I think!

Now a little about myself.
Hmmmm. I was born in the Netherlands in 1948. My parents and my 2 brothers and I came across the pond in 1952, We moved to a very small village called Batawa in Ontario. The main factory was a shoe plant called Bata Shoe. Well known around the world at the time.
My Dad worked for them for over 40 years. My first job was there as well. Yikes too dirty and stinky for me.
As a young girl I lived in the Middle East as well while my Dad set up a plant in Baghdad.Yup I lived there for a short time then Moved back to Holland until I was 15. [2 years]
Back to Canada [Batawa] and I won't bore you with my teen years. I did start to work at 16[Hairdresser]
Through the years there were many changes and one was that I met Kathy. We both worked at the same place and became fast friends.
That was 30 years ago. hmmmm. Boy did we have some fun together! Mind you we still do just a bit slower!
I only started to stitch in 2005. My Mom stitched for years and I wasn't ready. Once I started there is no holding me back.
I love the fact that I can blog and meet so many people with the same interests. This is so much fun.
I moved back to this part of the country in 1988 after beening married and divorced. Now I am Married to a man that I met Golfing and Have been with him for 11 years. We are both retired and I enjoy singing in 2 chiors.
This probably sounds a bit choppy but I just don't want to write a book.
Let it be known that there was a lot of interesting things in between and one of them was that I lived in Germany as well as Florida,...See I could just go on.

Farewell for now and Stitch with happy fingers!

She has an arm!

This is Saturday's update on the White Christmas...She has a little bit of an arm.
I do love the colours so far!
