Thank you all so much for all my birthday wishes and cards. You guys are all so great. I love you all.
Well, its been sick bay around here for a few days. First my grandson and now the rest of us. We have some really bad stomach flu. So I havent been able to post much or actually to do anything fun. I still hurt all over. Want to just go to sleep for a few days and wake up feeling 100% better.

Meanwhile, I wanted to share with you something I am stitching. I am in a wonderful sampler group and I was lucky enough to win a bingo game and got some really nice prizes, one of them was to be part of Vierlanden-Mystery Sampler that started on December 1st. It runs for 54 weeks. Every week you get a part of the sampler. I have finished my first part and am anxiously looking forward to the next. Its so lovely. I chose to stitch with the new DMC overdyes which I have to tell you are fast becoming a real favorite of mine. They are so pretty, the colors blend so nice. I chose 4210 which is a blend of reds, maroons, and some purple. My accent color will be 4240 which is blues and some purple. they look so great together. I am excited about this piece. I just know its going to be gorgeous. I already am thinking of where to put it when framed, after I drape it around myself for a little while. :)
