Crazy Day 4 and a Snowman

Ok, so it’s a stitcher’s prerogative to change her or his mind! I did just that when I decided to finish the Caroling Snowman into it's frame. Here is the final, FINAL picture of him:

For the hanging bit, I used a piece of red and green twisted cording that I got from Cindy Mae Designs. I think it is cute!

I spent quite a bit of time on Colonial Williamsburg yesterday as well. I almost have the bottom half finished, as you can see:

That is a LOT of green stitching in there, LOL! I never thought I would see the end of that color. Next month, I will fill in the flowers, the house, and hopefully finish the alphabet portion at the top (there are two more sets). Whew!!!

I am going to spend a little bit of time this evening working on Crazy Day 5 and see how far I can get. I will post my update on that tomorrow and then probably not again for a few days (may not be until the 16th). Don’t forget to order your sweetie a valentine’s arrangement! Here are a few to entice you to call your local florist:

Oh, I almost forgot! I finally gave my step-mom her Christmas present. She absolutely loves it! I would have taken a picture of her with it, but she had just woken up (slept in). In case you forgot, this is what I made for her:

Until next time…

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
