WIPocalypse Check-In for January

Hi all! I decided to rejoin this SAL for this year. I took a year off from the SAL as I was dealing with the range of emotions following my dad's death in 2012. I am still dealing, but at least happy to report that I am picking that needle and floss back up more frequently. This alone made me want to be held accountable for finally finishing some of my WIPs that I neglected last year.

My Page called "WIPocalypse 2014" will be published later this weekend and will have the list of projects I hope to complete this year. For now, I will share with you my progress on "The Gardeners":

This is where I left off in December 2012




This is where I left off as of 1.15.14

Next time I will have progress on this as well as "Coming Home for the Holidays" as Lana and I have decided to SAL that one again this year.

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!
