One Year Blogoversary

Good Morning my friends! Hello to my new followers. I am so happy you have decided to stop by. =) I have been blogging for one year now. It has been a joy to join in with all of you.♥ It really warms my heart to experience such friendliness. I have met so many nice, caring friends.♥

I would like to give a few gifts to you for this, my one year blogoversary. Firstly, I made another bottle cap pincushion. I have never made two alike. So, yes, this is another Wintery Wisconsin one, but it is white with pale blue, DMC 775 floss. I also made the pale crystal counting pins.
These are freshwater pearl earrings straight from the jeweler (never worn).

 And this is a pretty pinpillow I have a hard time parting with! ;)
This pattern is from one of my older magazines, The Cross Stitcher, April 2009. The pattern is by Olde Willow Stitchery Threads, it is just simply called Quaker Motif.
This is stitched one over one with DMC B5200 on 32ct Antique Pink linen. I loved, loved, loved stitching on the little white buttons. I have never finished like this before and thought it up and loved the idea of it!
And this is the back. Isn't this just the sweetest motif? I found it at my library. ;) It is from the book Better Homes and Gardens Stitching Pretty. I just adore this little motif!!♥ This pinpillow is so  me!!

So my friends, if you are interested in this offering of mine you need to be a follower. You also need to leave me a comment on this post, please tell me if you are interested in the giveaway. Would you tell me how long you have been blogging?  I will draw a name for the winner on Wednesday, March 6th.

Mabel is improved. She is still on her medicines. She does seem not exactly the same. Like maybe she has only recovered 90% of the way? We are working with the vet with her medicines. We hope she makes a full recovery again, and goes a long time with out another flare up of pain.

As for me and my tummy, well, it is still burning. It takes some people longer to get rid of that while on the acid blockers. If it is not gone by the time the two weeks of meds are done, I have to call the doctor of course. I do NOT want an ulcer, nope!

Still stitching bargello and little things. =) Pictures soon I hope!

May God richly bless your day my friend.♥

Stitching and praying,
Vickie

You're so sweet to have a giveaway! Happy blogiversary! I think I started blogging around this time of year too. I started in 2009. So that's what? I guess it'll be 4 years?! Wow. lol! Anyway, thanks for the giveaway. Hope the vet can find the perfect meds for Mabel to be 100%. And also that your stomach stops that burning!

I love that little "Wisconsin Winter" pin cushion. I can also see why the other one is your favorite. Very cute. The buttons around the edge are a neat idea.
Glad to hear Mabel recovering.

Happy 1st Blogoversary :) What wonderful gifts you have put together. I follow your blog but not "officially" as I am subscribed through google reader but please don't enter me :) I've been blogging for 5 years now and my interest is disappearing.....LOL.

Glad to hear Mabel is doing better and once those acid blockers kick in and work you will feel like a new person. It took about a month before I started feeling better and 2 months before I felt completely normal :)

Happy Blogoversary Vickie!! Your gifts to give away are so beautiful and I would enter but my ears aren't pierced!! Isn't that the funniest thing? I never got them pierced and have never felt the need to pierce them. Anywho, I started bloggin back in September 2010 and am so glad to have "met" such wonderful people like you :D I'm glad to hear that Mabel is nearly better. You take care of yourself too. I sure hope you don't have an ulcer. That wouldn't be good.
