Chilly Tuesday in Florida

Well, it is 68' F as I type this, here in central Florida. And after reading another blogger's post, it appears that we will be getting more of the storms from Northern California. For some reason, their storms end up here and not north of us. Oh well, life goes on...

I finished the second section of the Christmas Design SAL. My design is Coming Home for the Holidays. I know, I posted an update of it yesterday, but here is my submission for this month's work:


And a close up of where I placed the beads on the wreath:


I think it's turning out pretty nice if I do say so myself. :D

Now I will turn my attention to stitching a few card inserts for my mom and the Charger!

Until then...

Beautiful and so much farther along than what I'm doing! I've been sidetracked by wedding gifts. Can't share them yet either.

You're making great progress, Julie...And I don't have much pity for you at 68 degrees--the high is supposed to be only 20 here tomorrow!

Thanks everyone!

Carol, I don't think too many people north of here would have pity on me. I am really trying to send sunshine your way, but it just keeps getting buggered up by the storms coming in from the west.

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
