Well I'm not in grade school anymore and just LOOK at the cool party favors Aileen sent! I have done QUITE a bit of cross stitch in my time and enjoy it VERY much. Cross Stitcher magazine has some really pretty charts, so I may be finding myself with a piece of lugana and two strands of floss in my hand again... IF I can find the magazine! I taught Groovy Girl (my third grader) to cross stitch last summer and she has already kiped it once - caught her reading it in bed. She has her eye on this chart in the "how to" section:
Aileen also sent a COOL, cross stitch, key chain which has charts for the Chinese Zodiac. I will get to stitch this one for sure... but probably not in my sign. Most likely, I will stitch up a pig for my oldest daughter. She flipped for it when she saw it, which just goes to show how cool it is, because she isn't normally a flipper! Plus, the pig is SO DARN CUTE!
Thank you Aileen! We are ALL enjoying your party favor prizes!!!
(by the way, Baby Doll is beginning to think she is a hand model)

I think it's great that you taught Groovy Girl to cross stitch! Your kids are way ahead of the game with a mom like you! Saves them years of self-learning! Trust me, I know!
That package looks FUN!

Congratulations -- Aileen is obviously an extra nice and generous person to give away presents on her own birthday!
Cross stitching is such a great introductory needlecraft for kids -- and these are great patterns.
Lucky lucky YOU!
yes Ann, the bag in picture (on the blog) is my tatting bag. I really like it. I bought it at the local quilt show for $5 and have used it constantly.
It seems to be the perfect size for tatting balls & tools.
If I ever get good enough to tat out of the house - I'd have to invest in something with a zipper top : ) This is open at the top with a loop & button to close
enjoy the day
