Cirque des Carreaux update…

Well, I finally picked this piece back up the other day and have put quite a few stitches into it. Here is a picture of where I left it when last it was seen:

And here is what it looks like today:

I am about halfway through page 1. I switched back to the hoop as it is easier to handle, even though there is a lot of excess, soon-to-be stitched, fabric hanging over it.

Excellent progress -- is the last pic accurate for color? If so the thread is gorgeous.

Marcy-the last picture is in a "Pop Art" format that is associated with my camera. But the colors are fairly close. I wanted to show it with a little pizzazz alongside the normal photo.

also - I noticed you linked to In Stitches in Michigan, but your location is Zephyrhills, which I know is a Coach/motor home place (my uncle/aunt and dad/stepmother stay there in the winter) - are you from Michigan??

@Courtney: Yes, I am from Michigan, but I live in Zephyrhills. LOL I do live in a mobile home park with my dad, but the town has been trying to shed it's "retirement community" image for many years, unsuccessfully I might add. I still have lots of family and friends in mid-MI so I try to get back as often as possible. Thanks for the link!!

Thanks to everyone for your comments! They are always welcome and appreciated!!!

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

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! I plan to reveal that a little later on, but first here is my check-in post for WIPocalypse: I put a few stitches into Coming Home for the Holidays (my SAL with Joy ): I plan to work a little more on it this evening. I also put some more into Cancer Ribbon Awareness by Ink Circles: I think I am going ...
