All Caught Up with Reading Blogs!
Things have been a bit busy around here lately with the Holidays, kids home from school, and family visiting. I still have several "older" posts to add to the blog before I can show you the little bit that I've been working on this year. But in the meanwhile I wanted to catch up with what everyone has been up to since I last checked in.
I have finally caught up with reading everyone's blogs!
Wahoooooooo...
Uh... Wait a minute... I was caught up... Dang... Be back in a minute...
So many pretty things to see....

“Mushroom Meadow!” -- June 6, 2009
I’ve finally been able to take a new picture of Windy Meadow, I mean Rainy Meadow, Oh My, I mean Mushroom Meadow!
We’ve been having lots of rain and now we have lots of mushrooms in the flower beds!
We aren’t complaining as we’ve had drought conditions for quite a while but now the ground is so saturated we have flooding conditions across the state! And yes we have a nice new crop of mushrooms!
We finally had some sun today while I was home so I rushed out to take a picture of very green Windy Meadow today to share.
I’ve been so busy with the end of school activities I haven’t been able to do much stitching but I have made some progress on several projects that I’ll be sharing this week.
I’ve been reading your blogs though I haven’t had much time to comment. Now that school is almost over, I hope to be able to visit everyone and leave comments!
More pictures of my stitching tomorrow!

“My Interview” -- March 22, 2009
I volunteered to be interviewed by Ruth, "The Musing Badger". The way this works is that you volunteer to be interviewed. The person interviewing you gives you a list of five questions to answer. After posting your answers, you select a person to interview and you make up your own interview questions for your interviewee. You can read Ruth’s answers to her interview questions on her blog, "Interview with a Dork".
I’ve finished with wardrobe and makeup (yes it took a while) so on to the interview!
1. How and why did you start needlepointing? Do you still remember that first canvas? Do you still have it?
My first needlepoint canvas was a simple house in a garden scene and yes I still have it. The center of the design was already stitched and you just stitched the background. I finished this when I was about 9. I framed it when I was in my teenage years by purchasing a small frame at the local 5 & 10. The mat was made by me by cutting up a paper trash bag as that is what I had available. LOL! I did lace the needlepoint around the cardboard center of the frame as I knew I shouldn’t be using glue. I am not a fan of glue and I think I can get a better finished project by lacing and using a needle and thread. And by the way, don’t ask me my opinion of glitter which is not positive! :-)
I come from a long line of crafty/creative women and we used what we had long before reduce/reuse/recycle was re-invented again. This was also stitched and finished long before many of our local needlework stores were available and definitely before the craft big box stores opened. Anyone else remember when J.C. Penny had a fabric and craft department? :-)
2. What's the best ANG (or ANGesque) class you've ever attended and why?
This is a harder question for me as I haven’t attended many ANG or stitching classes. These weren’t available when I was younger and just started becoming available after I was married and I was raising my children. I’ve only taken one class through my LNS and only five classes through the ANG so I don’t have a favorite as I’ve liked all six! :-)
My grandmother was a wonderful sewer and knitter. She could just look at an outfit or a knitted garment, and then she would go home and not only recreate it but make it better! My grandmother could also crochet but she only did that when she had to (her words not mine!). She was able to get me started on my needlework journey though we did have one challenge. She was left-handed and I’m right-handed. We were able to work out several techniques but I never did learn how to knit from her and believe me, we both tried! Many years later this has been helpful as I teach needlework to children and teens and I can translate what we are doing for those who are left-handed.
My mother could do different needle work techniques though she preferred folk art painting. Now she spends her time working on making story time kits for the local library and gardening.
I’m self-taught mainly through trial and error, except for the few things that I learned from my grandmother and mother. For example, I figured out on my own how to lay threads and how to railroad as it looked better though my grandmother and mother did teach me how to thread a needle properly! No licking and sticking here… lol
3. What piece(s) of yours just make you smile when you see them/think of them?
I love this question as this is one of the criteria that I have for choosing a new canvas/design! Not only does the design have to appeal to me but I have to smile or grin when I see the project though I don’t like designs that are very whimsical or over the top. A gentle sense of humor or whimsy appeals to me. My favorite designers are Pat Thode of “Heartstring Designs”, “JB Nutcrackers” (love these little guys though I don’t collect nutcrackers), and canvases by Janet Zickler Casey. I then have an eclectic mix of “Lee”, “Associated Talents”, and “A Collection of Designs” painted canvases and a few other designers thrown in. I do stitch geometric designs and I have several older books with these types of designs. I also have charts from primarily “Laura J. Perin Designs” and “Kick Back and Stitch” designs.
My favorite things to stitch are Christmas, Patriotic, and Halloween designs. Our house is very neutral as I love to decorate for the seasons and the Holidays.
4. If you could take an all-expenses paid holiday anywhere for as long as you wanted to be gone, where would you go and why?
This was my hardest question as I’m not a big traveler. I’m very comfortable at home and we only travel for vacation and that’s usually locally. Hmmmm… I’d have to say that I would want to travel to wherever my family is. Though we are hoping to be able to travel again soon to Walt Disney World as DD and I want to have tea at the Grand Floridian! Does that count?
5. Why did you start blogging about your stitching?
I started blogging to share my love of needlework with others. I was enjoying reading the few needlework blogs that were available (this was several years ago). Since there weren’t that many of us way back then, I thought it would be fun to create a blog to share what I was doing. I created my first blog on Yahoo 360 several years ago. Unfortunately, due to family and work activities I wasn’t able to post as many times as I wanted. When that system started having problems, I moved my blog over here to blogger.com in early 2008. By the way, that took a while to move all of the blog entries and comments!
I should also add that I post entries when I can as family, job, and volunteer work come first. I’m pleased that I’ve been able to post as many entries so my fellow needle workers have another blog to hopefully inspire them or to at least hopefully give someone a laugh when they need one! :-)
Now that I’m done answering Ruth’s questions, I’m going to interview Kelly of “Orts”. Kelly is new to blogging though we’ve been email friends for several years. And yes, we were able to meet in person once at the Baltimore ANG Seminar! Hmmmm… now what am I going to ask Kelly…
Thanks for stopping by Windy Meadow!

“Blog Redesign & Comments, Questions and Answers” -- October 20, 2008
Thanks for all of the positive comments about the blog redesign! It took quite a while to do but I’m glad it’s done as it will be easier for me to update the sections on the right. I was also able to take a picture of fall at Windy Meadow this past Sunday. The leaves are starting are getting quite colorful! We are going to be having high winds tomorrow into Wednesday so I’m not sure what will be left to turn brighter colors over the next week or so. If it does get more colorful, I’ll take another picture to share with everyone. In the meanwhile, Enjoy Fall at Windy Meadow!
I received several great comments and emails about the Shenandoah Valley Chapter’s “Stitching for the Cure” event which will be held Saturday, November 22, 2008 at the Virginia Quilt Museum in Harrisonburg, VA. Don’t’ forget that even if you can’t attend the event, you can order the pattern and have it sent to you!
I’ve been enjoying reading everyone’s comments on my recent posts so I thought it would be time for another episode of “Comments, Questions, and Answers”!
Helen:
You are making a wonderful contribution by volunteering to be part of a control group for Ovarian Cancer! With the help of you and many others, hopefully they will quickly find a screening test for this awful disease.
Becky:
Please share with us pictures and information about the EGA workshop with Pat Thode in November. I’d love to hear all about it! Will you be stitching “Gillian” HS2123? I have her in my stash!
Beth:
North Star Santa was finished by a professional finisher through my not so local needlework shop! I usually send my completed items out for finishing as I rather spend the time stitching. Though there are a few things that I will finish myself. Hmmm... I'll have to create a post with some finishing ideas/instructions. :-)
I’ve been able to finish two projects in the last several weeks and I have two more new starts. More info with pictures tomorrow! :-)
I do enjoy reading everyone’s comments! Knowing that you are visiting and commenting on my blog leaves me with a big grin on my face!
Thanks for visiting!

“Blog Redesign” -- October 10, 2008
I’ve been spending some time redesigning my blog.
I’ve put a summer picture of Windy Meadow at the top. The leaves are beginning to turn and I’ll put up a new picture once they are bright and colorful.
I’ve also spent some time redoing the lists on the right. I haven’t liked how I originally posted my 2008 projects so after some research and effort I’ve posted a new list using a different format. I think this helps so that you (and me) can see what I’m working on and what I’ve finished. I’ve also added links to the names of the projects so you can see the projects if they are available online. I’ve also added a date stamp on the bottom so that you can see when I last updated the list.
Let me know what you think about the new look! :-)
I plan on adding my completed 2007 projects soon to the lists on the right. This will be more for my benefit so that I can see what I’ve finished! LOL!
Did you notice that I finished another 2008 project? Yep, it’s the “Santa” canvas by Cheryl Schaeffer for Rainbow Gallery. This was the July, 2004 Canvas of the Month Club which was offered by The Stitching Post in Catonsville, Maryland.
I’m also real close (and I mean really close) to finishing the “Peppermint Stripes” stocking by Joan Lohr for Rainbow Gallery. This was the April, 2008 Canvas of the Month Club which was offered by The Stitching Post in Catonsville, Maryland. I’m planning on finishing this project this weekend so I’ll have two new pictures for you!
I was planning on posting some new pictures this past weekend but DD went off to the Renaissance Festival with my camera! I also worked on Sunday so I didn’t have a lot of time to take and post pictures. I’ll have pictures this weekend, especially since I’ll be off on Monday and I plan on spending the whole day stitching as the kids will be at school. Wahoo!!! Mommy play day! :-)
Thanks for stopping by!

Blog has Moved! -- May 6, 2008
Welcome to my new blog!
I’m glad that you could join me. I’ve copied all of my old entries from my Yahoo blog to my new blog with the comments that everyone has made.
I’ve spent the last several weeks rebuilding my blog but I have been stitching. So I have lots of new pictures that I will be sharing with everyone.
Please comment and let me know that you’ve found my new blog!

Blogging, It’s Not Just for the Young, but for the Young at Heart!
While writing a comment for Jane of Chilly Hollow's blog I started thinking about why are these slightly older, okay, okay I know I'?m being slightly generous, ladies blogging. By the way, if there are any gentlemen out there who needlepoint who are also blogging, please let us know!
I started blogging out of curiosity and because I thought that sharing my completed needlepoint projects and my progress on current projects would be a lot of fun!
Now, I work full-time, commute 1 hr to 1 1/2 hours everyday, I'm married and I have two active children. Why in the world would I add something else to my daily chore list? Especially if it takes away from my stitching time?
Well, I thought I would try blogging at first so I'd be prepared as my children expanded their computer horizons and so I would have an idea what this was all about.
I have to admit that I always thought that blogging was a little different. I mean my generation and those before me (and maybe 1 to 2 after me - but I'm not telling how many!) wrote our "secret" thoughts in journals or we would tell our closest girlfriends. Why would we want to put all of this information out for a few million of our closest friends to read? So why would I need a blog???
I started getting curious when I saw that Jane of Chilly Hollow was blogging. I have a link to her site on my blog site. Please check out Jane's site as she is a very entertaining and descriptive writer and she does beautiful work. Also check out the other links for other stitcher's blogs as they are also interesting and fun. I found myself looking forward everyday to reading Jane's entries. By the way, Jane it's a slow day here in Windy Meadow when you don't post an entry!
I've also had requests from long distance friends to share what I've stitched and this seemed to be an easy way to do that. Plus I could enter a longer description for a picture than what you can usually do on one of the photo sites.
Soooooo I thought I would try a Yahoo 360 blog. The price was right (free) and there seems to be a lot of helpful information in the FAQ. As a computer professional I appreciate a helpful FAQ and trust me, they all aren't!
I found as I started blogging that several things happened. One, I found myself more willing to share my stitched projects. I finally have a place where I can share the pictures of these wonderful items that I have stitched over the years! Now my friends/employees at my LNS have been thinking for all of these years that I am just purchasing canvases, etc. as they never see a completed project. See guys, I actually do stitch what I buy!!! I can also add a detailed description so I can share what the item is used for, who was the designer, and why on earth I wanted to stitch the piece! You'll probably wonder that when you see several of my older pieces. As we say, "This isn't your Grandmother's Needlepoint!", even though we do have some of that type of needlepoint in our stash or as completed projects!
I also found that I started discovering new needlepoint friends. I'm receiving e-mails and invitations from new friends that I wouldn't have met any other way. What a wonderful gift!
The other thing that I have learned is that I have a lot of completed needlepoint projects to share! I'll be posting more pictures in the next several weeks/months. Now, let's not bring up my Works in Progress (WIPS) or my stash! Some things should remain in the closet, or in my case, in my multitude of plastic containers! Hey, at least I don't hide them between the mattresses!
I also found that I'm more motivated to work on a WIP so that I can share what I'm working on. What's working on the piece, what isn't, and to ask for help. Okay, I don't have anything on the blog yet, but I'm working on it! Did I tell you about the basement finishing project? Sigh, I already did? Well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking by it!
More later?
