Happy New Year to all!
I'm slowly coming back up to speed. Shaking off a cold and getting caught up with the clean-up detail around here. I'm sure you know the drill.
{Yawn}
We watched movies and stayed up 'til midnight to ring in the New Year with America's Good Uncle, Dick Clark. God bless him. Even the youngest of the bunch managed to keep her eyes open for the grand finale this time.
It was fun sitting around with my drawing board across my lap just doodling away the hours.
I've been working on a woody alphabet for Redwork, as suggested by a few stitching pals. I'm still in the beginning stages here, working out the details.
Since I have no reference material, I'm just making it up as I go along.
Pretty much my standard mode of operandi.
Kisses to you girl! Heartwarming comment, made me incredible happy, thanks!
I adore your work,and can`t wait to follow your steps another year. Wave from Holland!

The twiggy alphabet looks intriguing and beautifully done.
I haven't done any embroidery work in years but have bought all the supplies. I really would like to do some redwork that I've seen on blogs... need to design my own first. Have oodles of ideas just need to get my right hand back in working order. Meanwhile I'll just create in my head.
I adore your blog and need to comment more often. When I see large numbers of comment it usually make me think that the blogger will never read all of them. But I was wrong about you and I thank you for your comment on mine.
Wisconsin Hugs,
Joni

I love the alphabet you are working on...we lived in up state New York and made many trips to the Adirondacks...we have a room in our house dedicated to twiggy furniture and accessories...makes me think that it would be fun to do something with your alphabet.

HAPPY New Year Friend! It's been awhile. As always, things are so cheery at your site. I've now set up shop in a little store, Room with a Past, in Walnut Creek and told everyone about your website and blog. My friend Jan visited your site and agrees, it's just the best! I hope you and yours have a healthy and most blessed 2008. Marcia :-)

Happy New Year! Happy stitching too. We rung in the New Year with Dick Clark also & then went outside & lit a firework that we've had around the house for about 10 years...I don't know who was more thrilled my dh or my ds :)

Happy New Year! To you and your lovely family! We tried to stay awake and only made it to 11:30! In our neighborhood all the fire works went off around 9!! I think your twiggy alphabet is delightfully perfect to go along with your fairies!

Looks like a beautiful alphabet. Will you sew it eventually?

I wish I could tell you that before but I just came back from my so long waited and wished trip to England.
