Hello readers! It has been such a long time since I updated this site. I apologize to those who visit here frequently. I just added eight new freebies for your stitching pleasure. I hope that this will make up for my absence and lack of free designs for this year.

I trust all of you have had a wonderful summer. Our summer here in NY has been very mild compared to past summers. Besides designing on a whim I have been busy with things around the house. Our vegetable garden is finally producing tomatoes. It is such a blessing to be able to go out to the garden and pick a fresh tomato for a salad or sandwich or to just eat as is.

I received an email from a stitching fan of LOMD in which she shared a picture of a LOMD that she just completed and finished. The following design "Hoppy Halloween" was stitched by Wendy Yates of Ogden, UT. Didn't she do an awesome job with the stitching and that adorable pillow? I love it. Thank you Wendy for sharing the picture with all of us. You are a talented lady.

That's about all I have to share for now. I will be back soon with the September freebie. Enjoy your visit and please drop me a line with a picture of a completed design of mine. I would feel so honored to see it and share it with all my readers. Blessings and best stitches. Until later....

Blessings,
Shelley

Happy Friday readers!

It's been a bit since my last post. Partly due to being very busy and the other part being that my computer crashed. I lost everything even my backup files for LOMD. The new designs I had worked so hard on are now lost forever. It was a very nasty crash indeed. My heart was broken and I am still trying to get back in the mood of designing. I promise I will get there. I am still trying to get everything back up and running properly. It takes time of which I'd have if I would stop catching all these bugs and flus going around. I am presently fighting a nasty head cold. I don't sleep well at night and it makes for a very long day.

Anywho, please bear with me while I get things ironed out. I will be back with some freebies soon. Until then, stay warm & have a blessed day.


Blessings,
Shelley

Hello readers! I hope each of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! My family enjoyed a wonderful day and long weekend. I was able to do some designing recently. I had some thoughts come to mind for some designs that I hope to have available in 2009, God willing.

Please check back soon as I will be sharing a free ornament for you to stitch up in time for the holidays. I love this time of the year and so much comes to mind while I am stitching on something. I get so excited. I definitely keep a pen and paper close by to jot down all of my thoughts.

I wanted to come and check-in while I had a few minutes and to wish all of my readers a blessed day and week. I hope everyone is on time with your holiday preparations. I have a few more things to shop for and then I will be finished. Of course I still have my baking to do too. Blessings everyone, until later....

Good morning visitors! I would like to thank Beth for leaving a comment so I know she was here. How about some of the others who have been by? Well, I hope you at least enjoy the freebies and your visit here.

It is a bit cloudy here in NY at the moment. I have a busy day ahead with some tasks that need my attention. I hope to be at the designing program again later today. I am getting ready for the Christmas holidays that are quickly approaching. I have some new ideas for ornament freebies to offer here. Be watching for those soon.

I hope each visitor is blessed in their tasks today. Remember to smile and be thankful for all you have, good or bad, because they all contribute to who we are and will become. Blessings stitching friends.

Hugs,
Shelley

Freebies Posted

Hello fellow cross-stitchers! Welcome to LOMD. To commemorate the opening of my design site I am offering up several free designs I have done up. I haven't had a chance to stitch any of these yet so if you encounter any errors please contact me immediately so I can make corrections. Once you have completed one of my designs please email me a picture of the finish. I will be adding a special forum for my designs that stitchers can showcase for everyone to see. Oh, and please leave a comment so I know you have been by to grab the freebies. Best stitches to all. Blessings.
