Hey Sara, if you are reading my blog, your stitchery piece is done!
For my other blog readers, Sara is my niece. Last year, my friend in Texas started a cross-stitch designing business called "Of Generations Past". I've been helping her stitch some models over that timeframe. She sends me the chart in pdf format and I stitch it here and mail it back to her! I really enjoy being part of the process. I get paid in Starbucks cards - which I love!! Well, many many years ago, I wrote a Halloween poem. And my friend turned it into a cross-stitch design! I stitched the model.... She sent it off to Hoffman Distributors and they agreed to sell it to shops who might want to carry it! I was so thrilled when the first copy sold. And then was even more thrilled when more of them sold! I was so touched that people wanted to spend money on a poem I wrote. I feel like a published author - LOL! I give much much credit to the fun colors my friend chose for the wording. I framed the model and have it here on my wall. My niece Sara loved it too. So I've stitched it for her and will mail it off soon!

I love this! I really need to order this from Joanne and start stitching. You did such a wonderful job on this poem!
How neat!! Congratulations!
Hi Linda. I'm new to your blog and wanted to introduce myself. I'm Julie, and I found your blog through Nancy M. Congrats on being published. The poem is really cute. I can't model stitch. I'm so bad about working on a deadline. I just work on whatever happens to be screaming the loudest!!!
