A few numbers to sum up this past year:
161 Posts. Who knew I'd have so much to say???
146 Finishes, broken down thus: 89 cross stitch, 52 knitting, 4 embroidery and 1 crochet. I have never, ever been so productive! And I have all of you to thank...for your interest and encouragement.
171,177 Visitors. From all over the world. That number is just unimaginable to me, but yet it's there in black and white. Wow!
I've been lucky enough to make new friends that I never would have met if it hadn't been for this little 'ol blog.
I sooo appreciate your visits and comments. Thank you, thank you, thank you! So, without further ado......I've stitched this little set of smalls as my Blogiversary Giveaway!!!
motif taken from the Forget-Me-Not Samperby Mary Garry's Sewing Cabin

Hi Staci,
Happy Anniversary!! And special
congratulations for such a
successful entry into the blogging
world. It didn't take long for your blog to catch on and attract large crowds of visitors. And no wonder.
Your stitching and
finishing skills have inspired
and delighted all of us who visit
you every chance we get. Your
knitting, embroidery and crochet
projects are watched with keen
interest and (if we're being
truthful here) a touch of envy
at the ease with which you do
everything, and make it look so
good.
Your generosity and
kindness is greatly appreciated
and your giveaways are awaited
with eager anticipation and
longing.
May you have many, many more years
of blogging, because great as the
pleasure may be that you get from
blogging, we (your loyal and
loving friends and visitors) are
the ones who are really lucky to
know you.
Cheers!!
Congratulations, Staci! You are one awesome creative and busy woman! I have enjoyed seeing your photos and reading your blog.
Congrats, Staci! Love reading your blog. Please include me in the drawing.

In 1 year?!?! Geez, good for you! I had better get practicing. I am new to the world of stitching and have been browsing various blogs to try and gain some knowledge and get some tips / ideas. I originally started with a stamped, then counted “kits”. I’m working on my 2nd chart and have noticed some big differences in floss types and quality.
My Cross Stitch Mentor has told me that I’m ready to graduate from Aida, but I really like Aida. Maybe it’s just beginner’s comfort???
If you would answer my question… What type of fabric or fabrics do you prefer and why? Brands and counts?
I would appreciate any advice, thanks!
Congratulations for your first blog anniversary!
Keep blogging, stitching and showing us your wonderful works!
Staci,
Congrats! Please enter me in your drawing. Thanks, Sandy
