Life has been busy and I've got so much consignment from fellow stitchers that I opened an ebay store! I call it Kiddlady's Needlework Consignments.
Of course, I have a few other things besides needlework, but needlework is the major portion of my ebay sales and MY personal favorite! :)
If you would like a quick peek, you can follow this link-
I put off posting because I was hoping to be able to share a large finish. But friends, it just isn't happening today. But I will show the good progress I have made on Rosewood Manor's Cornwall Sampler. It is the only project I've been working on.
Before
Today
When I kitted this up last summer, I substituted Gloriana silks for the called-for Weeks Dye Works threads. Ann Frazier of Gloriana is a member of my sampler guild and we are so lucky to have her. She brings her seconds and sells them at our retreat.
So I've been a bit nervous that I might run out of thread (in any color) if I made a boo-boo in my calculations. And it would be unlikely to color match additional thread.
So the plan is to finish the outer border then reassess what thread I have left to finish the bouquet in the basket. So far, it looks good.
Happy 5th Blogoversary to me! It actually happened in February. Even though I'm late, I want to have a giveaway in appreciation of all my wonderful followers. I love this stitching community and your comments inspire and enable me :)
This will be a very easy giveaway. The only thing you need to do is-
1. Be a follower.
2. Leave a comment on this post
That's it! No posting on your blogs about this giveaway as I want it to be for the ones who actually stop by and take some valuable time to read :) That's why I didn't put the giveaway in the title of this post.
And yes, I will mail internationally for the winner. Hopefully, no mail strikes :)
I will draw a winner on March 20th.

Thus far I have only been reading, not commenting, but I love your stitching blog and especially enjoy seeing your pieces stitched up. I absolutely love how the Cornwall Sampler is coming about. I look forward to seeing the finish.
Smart thinking, finishing the border so any necessary adjustments can be made in the basket. That's a beautiful design; I'm looking forward to seeing your finish.

Congrats on your blog anniversary and opening of your new store. Love how the Rosewood Manor piece is coming along. It´s going to be really beautiful. I follow via bloglovin.
Five years, where did the time go? You were one of the first blogs that I visited.....congratulations on your new venture with Etsy.
Happy Anniversary!!! I stitched the Cornwall last year & it was my most favorite one to do ever . . . I adore the color combo & I guess I felt like I had actually accomplished something every time I finished one of the quaker motifs. Now working on the Quaker Diamonds & am enjoying it just as much. Please include me in your generous drawing - thank you!!
Belated happy blog anniversary :)
Off to check your Ebay items!

You've made great progress on the sampler--it will be finished before you know it! Happy Belated Blogoversary too! (I don't need to be entered in your drawing tho--trying to de-stash as it is!) Hugs!
Love the sampler! And your blog! I think you are the enabler as you got me started in that Crazy January Challenge!
I am unable to find your Etsy store, please could you give us a link. Amy over at Thread in Hand told me she sold you her Brightneedle Sakura and I was hoping you might be selling it sometime soon.
