Before we start, I have a favor to ask. I am looking for a Cross-eyed Cricket pattern, Leaflet 171 called Green Thumb. Is there anyone out there that wants to part with it? I've got a ton of stash to trade or if you want, I can pay a reasonable price...let me know, K?
Now for the pictures...TA DAA!!!!
Here's my OLDEST WIP and it' now finished! I can't believe that I waited over 25 years to finish it. Granted, I had the unfortunate red candle incident but still...

This is the Merrily Beam's Sampler I'm stitching for Lee's "Older But Better" SAL. You can see it in all it's 1980's funky colors. But I like it!

I worked a little on the Bee Man tonight - I've stitched most of the verse. I really, really like this sampler and now, I'm looking all over the internet looking for more patterns with Bee Skeps.

So, that's all folks, I hope you like what I've done. I'd write more but I have to go to sleep. I'm tired. I've been up late going through job boards looking for work. So far nada, zilch, and zero. I've applied to a few local companies but I don't think I'm even going to get a second look. Sigh.
Thanks for stopping by....love to have you visit!

Hey Joanie! Congrats on your finish! You've got lots of lovely stitching in progress as well!
Nice projects! I particularly like the M. Beams--she was kind of ahead of her time in a way--it looks like something that might have just come out. I don't think I've ever seen the Cross-eyed Cricket Green Thumb sampler, so now I'm curious and I'm going to go off and look.
That's a pretty finish! Glad you were able to rescue it. Lovely WIPs too!
Lovely stitching, and congrats on finishing the long-standing WIP! All the best with the job hunt, hugs.
Such a pretty sampler finish!! Love your other WIP and your older finishes!
Congratulations on your finish !! I like all your WIPs... I hope you find a job soon, don't lose hope!!
Oh my goodness - all the eye candy! Congratulations on your 25 year finish! Better late than never, right! It's a really pretty sampler! Love every thing else too - you've picked some fantastic designs to work on!! I just love the M. Beams piece. One of her samplers is the first one that I ever did!
Wonerful stitching, as always. I have the CEC 171 and will give it to you. Send me your address...Nancy

Congratulations on finishing Alphabet Sampler. Your wips are looking gorgeous as well
Oh my, what lovely stitching! Can't wait to see the Bee Man's finished. Have you seen "No Bees No Honey"? Great bee skep pattern.
Try not to worry about the job scene...will keep good thoughts for you.
Nice works Joanie, I love them all!!
I should look for my UFOs and finish them , too :))
Joanie - congratulations on finishing up that oldest WIP - it is very pretty and wow - all your stitching is looking great. I love the I Sigh sampler - I should have gotten that one but you know "so many samplers - so little time" hope you are doing well - Melody
So many beautiful pieces! I can tell your blog is going to be dangerous for me. lol! Thanks for commenting on my blog. I've warned DS about Mia and I'm sure he'll take it easier on her.
Well done on finishing your oldest wip, it is gorgeous. Those samplers are gorgeous.
