Season's Pretties

     First of all, I do hope that I have PicasaWeb pictures taken care of.  I went to post the other day and found that it wouldn't let me post any pictures.  Said that my space on Picasa was full.  So I've spent some time finding out how to delete a bunch of pictures, and now hope to post a couple with this message.

     I think back to late spring of this year and remember posting a couple of pictures of my Christmas Cacti that was put outside to get some late afternoon sun.  I mentioned that I could never grow this plant.  I've tried several times throughout my life and they wouldn't do anything for me.  When I say anything, I mean just that.  They wouldn't bloom.  They wouldn't grow and they never died.  Just sat there and looked the same as the day I brought it home.  So this year someone mentioned how they put their plants outside in the late afternoon sun.  I am so very thrilled at this point! Every time I walk by the cacti now I thank God for what He has done for me.  Here's my red one.  This was actually taken four days ago and has even more flowers open today.

Here is my little tiny white one.  It's no bigger than three inches high right now.  Started out as a tiny cutting this summer, but it's blooming for me!

I am hoping that I can find a yellow or an orange Christmas Cactus.  I've only seen pictures of them and I do love them.

     Another pretty is my piece that I'm working on to make into a pillow for a dear friend.  The Redbird piece.  As I mentioned in a previous post, we have our grandson with us right now, so I haven't been spending as much time stitching. It

is coming along though and I also finished my son's scarf.  Will show you that after I've blocked it.  How many of my sweet followers still block their knitted items?

     Speaking of followers! I have a couple of new ones to introduce you to.  First there is Pikaboo! She is so talented.  Her stitching is beautiful and she makes some other pretty neat things as well.  She has just broken her foot by the way.  So go on over to her blog at Pikaboo's Crafty Stuff and tell her to hurry up and get better.

     My second new follower is Nancy herself from Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe.  Need I say more about Nancy? Oh my goodness.  She is such a talented lady and she has so many wonderful things to tempt us! LOL.  Kits.  Over dyed floss.  Hand dyed ric rac.  Hand dyed muslin.  Charts.  Oh my! You just have to go over and check her site out for sure.  Tell her that LindaLee from CrossN' My Stitches sent you.

     We had a great Thanksgiving and I hope ya'll had a great day as well.  Christmas right around the corner now.  Hard to believe that one! Any pictures of what my dear followers are making for Christmas? Send me your pictures at MissLindaLee@ec.rr.com and I'll post them here for others to see.

     Cold front coming in tonight and we have the fire going.  Cozy and warm.  A good night to kick back and stitch.  Then again, what night isn't?

     My sweet friends and followers.  Until next time......Stay warm and safe.  Come back soon and come back often.  Love each and every one of you and,  don't forget to "feel the colors".
