Woodrow Wilson update

Well, Wilson and I spent quite a bit of time together this weekend (mainly on Saturday). However, I did not complete him. I finally had to set him aside around 10:30 or 11pm as my eyes were just not focusing anymore. I even tried remarking my working copy with a darker color to follow where I am without success. Here is where we ended 2011:

P1015834

I am working on him today and now know that either way, I would not have finished him before the end of the year. That is, unless there was a Michael’s or Joann’s nearby that was still open that late, lol! You see, I ran out of one of the colors. D’oh! So he will have to be a 2012 finish and you know I am fine with that.

I did start working on one of the ornaments yesterday. I am only going to show pics of those when they are completely finished. No, not to be picture greedy, but because they are small and I don’t want to bore you to death. The one I started is “Hope” by Imaginating, Inc. from the 2009 JCS Ornament Issue for my youngest grand-niece. It’s the one that I had the most stash-on-hand for at this time.

I hope you are off to a great stitchy start for 2012!

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!
