As I mention in my greeting above, L is for.....
Hello:
exclamation - said to begin a telephone conversation or to express surprise, sarcasm or even anger
noun - to gain greetings in the way of hellos
verb - to say hello to somebody
origin - early 19th century from the word "holla" which was used to call attention to something
There are lots of hello-type charts available but I have chosen to show:
Hello Kitty Going for a Walk by Vervaco
Welcome House by Cinnamon cat
Adele by Kordek (Tilton Crafts)
(following on from her recent hit single Hello - get the connection?!)
My personal Ls include:
librarian - my job in both an infant and junior school. I love seeing children read - it's something most do not do enough in the age of computers and screen-related activities. Luckily, I've got two massive bookworms.
Lloyd Webber (as in Andrew) - I am a massive fan of ALW musicals, my favourite being the much under-rated Love Never Dies.
And my L chart is one by Lavender and Lace:
Angel of Autumn
This was a long-term stitch started before I became pregnant with my daughter and finished just before her second birthday. For your information there are 27,727 stitches. So sad that I counted them but this is the chart from which I first worked out my stitching rate.
By the way, some of you are crediting me for making up each day's phrase. I wish I could wallow in your praise but I'm afraid to say I'm simply copying a magazine chart! I doubt I'd be able to come up with these myself, especially considering the cleverness of some that have been and a few that are still to come!
A more challenging M tomorrow.

Hello to you today, Rachel. Nice charts that you found for today's word.
Librarian was one of my dream jobs when I was growing up because I have always loved reading and I thought it would be wonderful to be surrounded by books. Then I opted for a different job but when there was a vacancy in our local (small) library I decided to take over So I worked there voluntarily. This is also one of my words for the Alphabet Club.
So wonderful, your finished Lavender & Lace Angel.
Well, I got that one for sure :)
What a stunning finish, your Lavender & Lace is beautiful!!
"L"ovely post. I love your L&L piece. Beautiful!!
Took me a minute to get this one Rachel. Your angel is gorgeous.

tee hee, another punny one. Nice choices on chart, and your L&L is gorgeous! I'm guessing M is M-t (empty).
L.O.L.O.L.O. What's all this then? Like an old fashioned policeman!
I love Lavendar & Lace designs too but have never counted the stitches!
Wow - over 27000 stitches?! That's a large project. It's absolutely stunning.
I love the shoehorning of Adele into your post today.
Nice pieces. Am I the only one that saw this and thought Homer Simpson? Loh!
