What the heck is going on, I have tried to comment on some blogs and not able to I could not get into my own account, had to create a new password, what the heck is happening, does Blogger or google want us all to go away???????????
It has been a trying time around here, my father in law was diagnosed with lung cancer, my dear friend from Church is dying from a very rare form of cancer, a few more friends here on blogger are ill, I am sad this is happening.
I want to show you what I won from Stitching Friends Forever, on their Blogaversary I won a wonderful package, I am so excited.
I love ribbon, this will be used for the ornament I will be stitching soon.
Mary and RJ picked the loviest fabric for this design.
Look at the backing material they sent, RJ and Mary have wonderful taste and know how to coordinate colors and fabrics.
Oh my red fabric, I am in love, this is such a pretty color red, it does not look at beautiful here as it does in person.
I am in love with this stitching design, Homespun has such sweet designs, this will be my next design I stitch after finishing what I am stitching now.
Look at this beautiful handmade card I am sure you all know Mary is very talented at card making, I am not sure if RJ makes cards or not, I hope she does.
Now you all know I am a lover of lace, just look atr how lovely they are, lots of plans for them floating around in my head.
Buttons are one of my favorite accessories to have around, I plan on making a button bracelet and will be using some of these little lovelies.
Thank-you RJ and Mary you both are so sweet.
I had a class a couple of weeks ago, the class teacher was Jackie Du Plessis Its finally Finished designs, I am so in love with this design, Saturday Morning, there was also a companion piece, The Traveler, I will be working on them after I finish my class project from Jeannette Douglas and then after the design from RJ and Mary.
I love both of these pieces, I think I am done with class retreats till next spring, its expensive and I need to use my money for other things at this time, I save all year but still its expensive to go, some of my friends do a lot of classes, I am a lot more conservative with my money.
I am not knocking them I am kind of envious.
I have been stitching, not a lot but some, with summer here there is always some kind of work to be done, we are expanding our front porch, redoing the flooring on the 52 foot deck and extensions on the back of the house, along with yard work and other things, I have not done much beading or stitching.
Here is the progress on Jeannette Douglas Class project:
I uploaded both, today it is storming, the lighting is not good, so sorry, this is the needle roll, I love all the different stitch's.
Well its time for a walk with the dog, I somehow have gout I usually get it every three or four years not sure why, walking helps a lot, so off we go in between storms.
I hope your summer is a good one to you.
Blessings

You won lovely gifts and your projects look pretty! Hope you feel better soon.
I am sorry to hear about your FIL and friend Catherine.
Your gifts are fantastic.
Your stitching progress is beautiful.
I'm sorry you have gout, I've heard it's painful. I'm so sorry about your father-in-law and friends. It seems that cancer is just everywhere now. I hope their treatment is successful. At least that is one thing that has gotten better over time, so many more survivors.
Congratulations on your prizes. Looks like the perfect thing for you. Some of those buttons look antique. Are they?
I want to tell you about another bloggity oddity. I have your blog on my blogroll and that is where I saw that you had a new post. But before I clicked on the post itself, I clicked on your blog name and it took me to your blog, but this post wasn't there. I can only get to this post if I click on the post title on the blog roll.
Lovely gifts Catherine. I am sorry to hear about your FIL and friends. Also sorry to hear about your pain. Hope it goes away quickly. Your piece is beautiful.

There have been a lot of problems with Blogger. Check out my blog post for the latest information on commenting!
Lovely prize from RJ and Mary, they really are wonderful people.
Nice work on the Jeanette Douglas project too. I would love to do more retreats but on a restricted budget it's just not possible.
The blogging problems all have to do with the new laws in Europe. They seem to have affected most blogs. I no longer get comments sent to my g-mail account so I can't reply to anyone. It is annoying.
It seems that Blogger is changing a couple of things at the moment. And like Cathie I think it has to do with the new European data protection laws. I hope that you will soon be able to access your account.
What a wonderful package you received from Mary and RJ.
A wonderful prize you won.
Nice stitching you have been working on.
I have also had my PC off for a couple of days it locked me out , I have only just got back on , I could pull my hair out when this happens , but better not, ha.
Sorry about your family and friends , I to have a few friends who are very poorly and we have been going to so many funerals this year I am sad to say .
What beautiful gifts from two lovely stitching friends Mary and RJ I have missed them the last few months , lets hope they get better soon.
Enjoy your weekend sweet friend.
Oh my goodness, your backyard is gorgeous. That gift from Mary and RJ is so pretty. I am hoping they get back to blogging soon.
Sorry to read about your family. Life can deal out some tough stuff sometimes. Your stitching is pretty. I hope to browse around soon.
So sorry to hear about your father-in-law and friend, Catherine. And I hope you are doing better. That's a wonderful package you received from Mary and RJ and looks like you have a lovely design waiting to be stitched! A beautiful class piece, too. I've never taken a class or gone on a retreat, but maybe someday. : )
So sorry to hear about the illnesses among family and friends,
Wonderful stitching on your class pieces.
And wow, what a great package you received from Mary an RJ. They definitely know how to make a stitcher happy, don't they?
I'm so sorry to hear about your Father in Law and friend, I know from experience these things seem to happen in clusters. You class projects are lovely and I know what you mean about saving all year to attend a few, I try to be selective when taking classes because of the expense,for me I find I don't complete all the projects so now I need to get myself in gear to finish class projects before I take another. You win from the blogaversary is lovely, love those buttons and laces. Happy Stitching and enjoy your days of bird song and summer breezes hopefully with a train whistle in the distance.
