First I want to say Happy Birthday to the bestest friend in the whole world; Annmarie (aka Ann)! There is a reason why God made girlfriends and by chance on a message board I was lucky enough to find her. I imagine us old ladies sitting on a front porch in our rocking chairs knitting, crocheting or stitching something! HA HA! Anyway, Happy Birthday soul sister; may many years and many blessings come your way.
Speaking of birthdays and stitching I arrived home for lunch today to find this cute little book in my mailbox from....you guessed it! Annmarie! It's her birthday and she sends me a gift! I am blessed I tell ya! I am already looking at pillowcases and various linens around my house to stitch! Very nice book and well written; I can't wait to start on my first project.
Speaking of projects; I recently revisited my first love in crafting; cross stitching. I completely forgot how many supplies and finished projects I had that were never framed. The picture below has a few of them that have been sitting in a box for years. I washed them, hung them up to dry and now have to iron, mat and frame them with the exception of the God Bless America piece; that is a bread basket cloth. I think that one is my favorite because I love patriotic themes and would love to do a room in my home in a country patriotic decor. Oh well, we will save that for another blogging day!
Finally, Happy Blogiversary! I can't believe it has been more than a year since I started this blog! It is therapy of sorts for me and I know I've been neglectful of it lately but will try to be more attentive to it! There is nothing better than sitting down with a nice cup of coffee and reading all of my favorite blogs.
...until next time and peace!
