I have created something for 
Lots to share from the happenings at our home over the last couple of weeks. First of all it is my 1st year blogging anniversary, I cant believe it has been that long, time flies when your having fun.Thanks to everyone out there who has visited and left such kind, encouraging comments,when I have stitched something for a gift I am planning on having a giveaway to celebrate, so stay tuned.
March is a very busy month for our family with 8 birthdays and two wedding anniversaries to celebrate, not all in our immediate family of course. Last Tuesday was our eldest daughters 20th birthday, here are a couple of her presents her sister made for her.
Also this little hanky she thought she would embroider for her to try out her newly acquired embroidery skills, isnt she clever?
Her little sister is having her birthday next Tuesday so this is the gift she has made for her. It is a jewellery holder, the idea is to hang necklaces and earrings from the little round silver rings. She found the pattern in a magazine and adapted the title on it to suit her sister (she is a big Hello Kitty fan.)
Had a visit from my dear friend Netty from Thats graphic last weekend ,we had a great time catching up over a few wines.
I dont know if regular visitors remember a couple of chairs I bought awhile ago for a few dollars each from garage sales, here they are all painted up.
I made these rag balls awhile ago
and this is a gift I recieved for my birthday from my sister, isnt the little patchwork sugar bowl so cute.
Finally just for a bit of humour, or embarresment I say, my dear husband wanted me to post a picture of his new work shoes,BIG DEAL you will say until you see the photo directly after of his old faithfuls he has been wearing for awhile now.
He said the holes were great ventilation for his very sweaty feet. Now thats embarassing!
Hey Jo! Happy blogiversary!! I didn't realise you started blogging after I had - I missed my blogiversary in the craziness of our OPAM Challenge sign up - oops! LOVE the stitchery you've done of the tags - that's the one I was eyeing off not too long ago that you showed a sneaky peek of - yummy! And what clever clogs daughters you have too - taking after their Mum! I laughed so hard at the sneakers - it must be a boy thing to wear shoes and clothes to the point that they disintegrate whilst being worn! Tee! Hee! Hee! Hope you have a fabulous week! Bear Hugs!

Happy Blogiversary!
Beautiful gifts made by your daughter! I guess her sister was very pleased with the prezzies!
Oh boy! Your hubby really needed a new pair of working shoes! But I also understand his argument about the ventilation!! LOL

Congratulations on one year of blogging Jo! What a talented bunch you have. DDs work is just fabulous. She is already an expert in embroidery by the looks of it. Thanks for the giggle about the shoes. Ventilation or not...he NEEDED those new shoes! :-)

Happy anniversary Jo. You have certainly done a great job passing down your sewing talents.

They are pretty special gifts your daughter has made - beautiful.
I just came here and had a bit of a look around, I too recently began a cross stitch I purchased a number of years ago and am enjoying this craft after a long break.
Happy Blogoversary!

I need that every day and would love to share it too.
