First....I was excited to learn I am the next lucky stitcher for Daffycat's new travelling pattern. It came in the mail today and I wasted no time getting everything together.
Shakespeare Peddler's "Count Your Blessings"
I decided to stitch this on 32 ct. LL Vintage
Buttercream w/ Sampler Threads Autumn Pack.
The threads have been patiently waiting to be used so this is their lucky day. I hope to get this one stitched quickly so I can too offer up to another lucky stitcher. Stay tuned......

Second......hubby and I were cleaning out the garage and I ran across some old goodies I had packed away! I loved Ziggy in my "earlier " years and used to collect them.
I just had to pull out these little guys for
Valentine's, St. Patrick's, and Easter.
Aren't they the cutest?
Check out the bunny slippers on the Easter Ziggy... precious!
Well...I also found an old Ziggy cross stitch
booklet....remember these from the 80's?
(Yes...I have others too!)
Hope your day is special!
I just couldn't resist this one witht the sweet sentiment and bright colors. Gotta love these DMC classic colors....743, 970, 945, 349, 702 and 898! So this one will be waiting in the wings and yes....it will be stitched on good ol' Aida.
