Christmas Design SAL update

Well, I finally put the last stitch in part 3 of my design for Yoyo’s SAL! Here is a picture of it:P2231891

As you can see, I am 1/3rd of the way finished! I think I will take it across the bottom and then work up making the last section the very center.

There will be no card inserts this month as I just do not have the time…

As I sit here and enjoy a bowl of strawberries over pound cake (I can’t call it strawberry shortcake as the strawberries aren’t mushy enough and I don’t have any whip cream), I am trying to decide if I want to work on HalloSAL tonight or not. I am a bit tired after working in the flower shop today. We’ll see how it goes!

You may notice some of my posts being very different in appearance than others. I am trying to decide if I like Windows Live Writer or not. I saw that someone else was using it and thought I would give it a try. So far I am undecided. One thing that is on the Pro side is that you can use more fonts than what blogger allows. Stay tuned…

I hope you all are having wonderful evenings with your families!

P2221889 I will leave you with a picture of Sandy. I caught her “begging” the other day. It was too cute!

Can't wait to see the other 2 3rds.What a nice piece. I am wondering if Sandy is in front of an aquarium eyeballing lunch... Cute pic.

Thanks all, as always! :D

@jayne: No, we don't have an aquarium in our home. I think my dad would have another heart attack if we did (lol); not that I wish that on him or anyone. I think something caught her attention in the kitchen; possibly dad. Whatever it was, she sat up on her hiney et voila!

Many Thanks again! And, yes Lili, it does have it's moments. The half stitches are done with anywhere from 2 to 6 strands at one time.

Holi-versary Giveaway!

Farewell Daddy 3.8.1949 ~ 9.5.2012

Image
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

Well, it’s almost here! I am almost 40!! Why do I sound so happy about it you might be wondering. Most people get to this age and act as though their world is coming to an end. I choose to look at it in a positive way: I am STILL ALIVE!!! I know HE has a plan for me and my life. I am thankful everyday that I wake up. 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?! So, I am going to celebrate my birthday with you all. I am going to do a giveaway. Yup! I will call it “My 40th Year Giveaway”. What will be included in this giveaway you might ask? Well, stay tuned!
