Woodrow Wilson’s Birthplace…

…progress!
I spent much of the last couple days stitching on Wilson’s Birthplace. I have the house nearly complete, including backstitches! Here are some pics:

This is where I left off in May

And this is where it stands as of last night!










Going to try to get back on the Crazy rotation. I am also going to put some time in on the Coming Home for the Holidays SAL with Lana over the weekend. In addition to all of this, I am still looking for a full time job (and I absolutely hate trying to write a resume) and spending the weekend helping my sister move. I may wind up staying with her most of the weekend.




Oh, and here is a picture of my baby, Abu, trying to assist me in my stitching efforts:

And, I changed my Blog Title to "A Stitch in Time with Jules". 

Until next time…

Woodrows House is looking lovely, you are quite the builder!! LOL...it's Saturday morning here, and as soon as I finish up with blog reading and get the baby fed, I am hoping to sit down and get to work on Coming Home!! You're probably gonna blast me outta the water with your uber-fast stitching! But it'll still be lotsa fun to know that somewhere out there on the other side of the planet someone is putting in stitches on the same project that I am!! Happy stitching! Oh! I like your new blog name!

Ooops, you know what I just realized? It's not the weekend yet! My husband is home from work for the long holiday weekend, so it feels like Saturday to me,plus I'm a day ahead of you...it's only Thurs. there, it's Friday here, and my brain told me it was Saturday,because the hubs is here! Haha! I actually didn't stitch on the SAL yet though, so will wait now, another day! =) Sorry about that!

Hi, I just love your historical pieces. Can you tell me who the designers are and where I might find the charts.

Thanks, Linda

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?! 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!
