So if you still not have received your item(s) let me know and I will make right - if shipped domestically most were sent out through my Paypal so I should have a tracking number - most were sent out in the beginning of October to the 2nd week so you should have received your items!

Well I am a Cross stitching Fanatic that did one exchange for hand dyed fabbies and have been hooked ever since and now have turned it into a business.

I have a line called "Lil bits of Fabbie"© - package hand dyed cross stitching fabric that can be used from Bookmarks to 8 x 10 charts. All package in assortments from 2-1/2" x 8" to 9 x 11, and then I have Limited edition fabbies that I dye up for Stitch Alongs(SALs)and sell the remaining out in larger pieces for those that have downloaded my chart and decide they have to have that fabbie! LOL!

I do custom orders.

My fabbies have gone in all corners of the world from here in the USA to Down under! Have a lot of repeat orders so I must be doing something right!

I also create my own charts for sale and some I just plain give away as bonuses to my group memebers/customers.

I have been married for 30 years to a wonderful man, 3 children, a dog and rabbit.

Well on my blog you can see the many pieces I stitched out on my own fabbie in my Halloween ornie Album, My SAL pics, and my original designs.

You can also see other pics of my SAL items that were my original chart designs. Stitched out by gals from all over the world.

Have many links to wonderful blogs contain free charts - patterns and tutorials!

Well I love from the time I get on the pc till I am off listening to my Pandora Box radio station found on my Blog. Feel free to click on one of the stations there and listen to my music selection or create your own account. Who needs a radio when you can listen commercial free all day!

I love from Folk(any) to Country to 60's-70's music. I do like contemporary Christian.
