I'm Such a Loser...but I'm Such a Winner!

I'm such a loser. I know. It's been a while and you're just dying to see the completed cross stitch, right? I haven't worked on that in over a month and have very little progress to show, but here it is anyway, with a sharpie to give some scale. Yes, I know. It's so small I should have it completed by now.

Let's move on. What is that hiding behind the littlest cross stitch?

I'm such a Winner! Thanks to Hasmin's giveaway at her blog @ home in paradise, I am the happy recipient of this lovely Deco Clay flower arrangement, handmade by Hasmin, herself.

Isn't it pretty? From all angles.

She also sent me some awesome Kona Chocolate Chip Cookie Coffee (heaven in a cup) and the motherload of chocolate Macadamia nuts. All wonderful goodies from the island of O'ahu. Mahalo, Hasmin!

Looking good, can't wait to see the finished product... yesterday I finally finished an xstitch I started for James in 1990! So next to my initials I put '90-'09!!!:) So you are really moving at lightspeed compared to me!!

Hi Foobell,

Oh - goodness - you are so lucky to win the fabulous clay flower arrangement - the flowers are beautiful and look real. Thank you for sharing - I am going to visit the artist who made the flower arrangement.

I am looking forward to seeing the finished cross stich project - your antique cross stich purse is awsome and I am sure this project will be just as awsome.
Have a creative week.
