Update Post

Well, it's happened again! We lost another family member. I know it's part of life, but 3 before my dad has even been gone a year is a little much. Anyway, I went to the funeral service this morning for my great-uncle George. He was a very talented and Christ-filled man. I only knew him for a few years, but I grew to love him. I know he was my dad's favorite, so it's comforting to know they are together again at some fishing hole having a good time.

On the stitchy front, I have been making some progress on "Praying Hands" but haven't taken any new pics yet. Last weekend I got the carpet removed from my house, which allowed me to make some minor layout changes. Let's just say the lighting in my living room is inadequate no matter where I put the chair. LOL I'll have to take a pic sometime to give you an idea. So, as I previously stated, the stitching is coming along slowly. Hope all is right in your world!!!

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

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.
