Still a little lost in the head...

The  Geek agent took care of my problem, so late last night I went into a few places to reset them. After you have a computer clean-up there are resets that you find as you go. Still have not had a response to my "help ticket" request from Photobucket. Luckily not all my pictures are there. I began to use them for my blog photos as it is free storage. Thank you for your kind comments on the issue. Feels good to know friends care when you are stressed. I know it is not a big deal, but to me it is such an inconvenience. What's that saying?....stressed is desserts spelled backwards? Well, the hot tea and chocolate cheesecake did help last night.
I never made it ...again...to the post office. I have a birthday gift going to Canada...I hope my little friend will forgive it being late. We have birthdays one day apart. Her's is the 2nd and mine the 3rd, but many years in between! I will be having a give away that I will post on Sunday, so be sure to stop back.
 My February page for The Masters Needlework Project...I still may add a few embellishments....my plan is to add as I find items/trim etc. to each page.
The pink crocheted heart is a DMC freebie from some years ago. with a little bit of heart trim added.... DMC pearl cotton size 5 color 334 using a 4 hook. The stitched heart is a freebie from Barbara at
To Stitch or Not to Stitch...I used some found Cashel 28 ct linen and DMC 349 thread. A bit of lace and leaf ribbon...
Off to work today...but right now I need some coffee and toast and the newspaper. Plans for my weekend include re-arranging my kitchen cupboards....hope your day and weekend are wonderful.

The book is ready----

I joined as I mentioned a post or two back, the Needlework Masters SAL... and submitted my cover picture to Barbara
as well as my January page.  I decided to stitch a plastic sleeve to the back side of each page so I can insert a card with page info.  For January I chose Ribbon embroidery Iris's and a tiny knitted sock. The sock is correct in all ways including the heel turning!  The cover design is Little House Needlework "Needle and Thread". It has been just waiting for the right finish and so it has a place now. I suppose I could embellish the page more...we shall see.  Getting a couple of RAKs ready for mailing as well as my BBD Exchange piece.  I really like how it finished.I will post a picture soon. The day was absolutely beautiful yesterday.... enjoyed a short work with Mr H to a neighborhood store.  We did go buy some chocolates at the Mall...See's Candy.... one of my must haves!  Well, the coffee is brewed and I have some looking for an old pattern to do... I hope you all have a great day. Thank you for visiting with me today....
