Update on Latest Project



As you can see, it's been a while since my last post. With the holidays and working on my thesis I haven't been able to spend much time on the Polska Sampler. I am uploading what I have done so far. Looking at the red against the white background, it is possible to see the patterns emerging through (the patterns are in white, the red floss is the border).

Hi and thanks for stopping by! I love the red on the Polska sampler--I hadn't seen it before. The 23rd psalm sampler is by Midsummer Night Designs, and it's called "Peaceful Paradise." I'm enjoying working on it, but stitching all the words gets tedious, so I set it aside lots. Good for you working on the thesis--I was many years ago an English major, so I remember the huge amount of work it takes for major papers. The writing requirement for these accounting and business courses is minimal (and most accountants don't seem to write very well anyway), and it's sort of refreshing that there's actually a right answer and wrong answer for most everything I do on these courses--they're actually easier in that respect--no tortured pondering. Good luck on the paper AND the job search--what do you want to do?

I haven't quite figured out what I want to do. I have two passions: writing and teaching. I am taking the teacher certification test next month in Florida, so that's a start. I am hoping to have a job in an area school this fall.

Holi-versary Giveaway!

Farewell Daddy 3.8.1949 ~ 9.5.2012

Thank you for being my daddy for the last 40 plus years. You were my rock when I needed one. You were my best friend. You are now in our loving Lord’s arms and healed of your pain. Reuniting with long departed loved ones. And Mrs. Beasley too. I will miss the way you play your guitar and sing the songs you enjoy. I will miss our drives together finding new places to see and explore. I will miss you, daddy, the rest of my physical life. I look forward to the day we see each other again. Look for me running to you; into your arms. Michael Shawn Hayes March 8, 1949 to September 5, 2012 63 years young

I am also thankful for my stitchy friends here in bloggy-land. Just because we don’t know one another on a personal level doesn’t mean we don’t know one another, right?!
