EDIT: The Disney kit I bought is Cinderella's Castle - not Sleeping Beauty.
Hi Blogger Friends. WARNING - Long Post
Thank you for all of the great comments. I so enjoy reading them. First up - SAL updates:
Halloween House - Ursula Michael - I did all the fill in around the witch and worked on the step. (oops! forgot to fininsh above the door)
Lady Liberty - Diane Arthurs - Worked on the kitty and basket.
The Lion King - Thomas Kinkade (Candamar Kit)
I have been reading blogs for several years and entering giveaways, etc and have never won. UNTIL the last several months. I finally won.
I won this awesome magazine from Sharon at Shebafudge.
I won these great knitted slippers from Sharon at Sharon's Eclectic Retreat.
I won this great floss just because. Nancy at Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe randomly picks someone to receive some floss AND it was my lucky day. She is having some giveaways now, so click on the link and sign up.
I also won two more giveaways that I will post when I receive them.
Wow! Are you tired yet? lol One other thing I'm excited about. I read several blogs that do model stitching for designers. I would not do that (I have too much speciality fibers flying around and I can't stitch on the higher count fabric). However, I also love to crochet. I signed up to be a pattern tester and tested my first square.

Thanks for looking. Linda

You have some great WIPS :)
They are all coming along nicely :)
Hi Linda, Fantastic stitching - you are going great guns on your WIPocalypse pieces. Congrats on all your winning - you deserve it. I love your new Sleeping Beauty Castle design.
hugs, Kaye xoxox
HOW did you order that Sleep Beauty Castle??!! You MUST tell me! My understanding was you couldn't order those. You could only buy them in person at WDW. I bought a Mickey Mouse design from the Art of Disney store, but I didn't see this one. Please share your secret. :D
Great progress on all your pieces. I'm going to get back to HH tomorrow. All of my obligation stitching is finally done for a while.
great stitching! I love your updates and I think the colors of your projects all look so vibrant!
Happy stitching week
Your pieces are coming along nicely. Sleeping Beauty's castle is going to be super fun to stitch!
You won 5 giveaways? Did I read that right? Congratulations!! That's so exciting!!
That afghan pattern looks super cute! :D
