WOW!

That’s how my day has been. Just, WOW! Been watching movies and working on The Gardeners. Here is where I left off last night:

I’ve gotten a bit more done this morning/afternoon and will post another update on it tomorrow sometime. I am hoping to get page 2 completed, which is the section I am working on currently (the top, right side). Should be doable! LOL

Now for the WOW!!!

My favoritest niece in the whole wide world called me a little while ago. If you know the history you’d know that she hasn’t really been speaking to me for some time now and my heart has been broken over that. It’s partly my fault, but I don’t take full responsibility (nor will I go into details). Anyway, she really made my day with the phone call (she’s 13 years old by the way). Ariel, Christmas 2010, MII miss her like crazy and wished we lived closer together. Since moving to Florida in 2006, Michigan seems like a lifetime away, and we aren’t as close as we once were. Well, she’s in 8th grade this year and made the VOLLEYBALL TEAM!!! I am sooooo proud of her! I need to stitch something special for her, that is volleyball related. The picture of her is from my trip to Michigan last Christmas and she is holding an afghan her great-grandma gave her.

Until next time…

Holi-versary Giveaway!

I have been busy trying to settle into my new life as an independent woman and missed my blogoversary this year. For those of you who don’t know, my father passed away in September after a battle with cancer. Thus gaining my “independence”.

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

May WIPocalypse check-in and a Giveaway

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.
