Time goes by…

Sorry it’s been a while since my last post. I have been working 4 ten hour shifts Mon – Thur and by Friday all I wanna do is lay around in bed. I have been doing some stitching on the weekends and will probably continue in this fashion for a few more weeks. A lot of changes are happening in my life right now, especially at my job. I am not sure if they are good yet or not, but will be on a more regular posting schedule soon.

That said, I spent a little time on an old favorite this weekend: Butterfly and Shamrocks Wreath.

Remember this piece? Yeah, I have been working it on and off for a couple of years now; much like most of my other WIPs, lol! I am really gonna do my best to finish it by Spring so I can turn it into a pillow and send it to my niece. Would love to see an Easter finish, but time will tell.

I also almost had a finish over the weekend. It’s an ornie I started last Nov or Dec. I have a little bit more to go and hope to finish it tonight before I hit the sack. If not tonight, then for sure next weekend!

Hope everyone is well out there in stitchy-land!

~~~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”. Anyhoo… The holidays are here and I thought I would have a little giveaway to celebrate the season and my 4 years as a blogger! No hoops to jump through here! Just leave a comment on this post. Here are some of the goodies I plan to include: a holiday stitched piece by me a holiday related scissors fob something to keep you warm during the cold winter months and something else to be decided So there you have it!

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.
