May WIPocalypse

Another month came and went without my taking needle to fabric, but alas that is coming to an end as I did pick up a WIP this weekend. I don't know why I get into these funks, but I do and I don't do anything but vege out on Facebook, lol.

Anyway, this month's topic is as follows:

What designs or themes do you really wish you could find?  What do you think is missing among stitching designs?

 I am going to answer the second part first: I don't know of anything that is truly missing among stitching designs. It seems to me that designers pretty well have the realm of topics covered.

 Now, as to what designs/themes I wish I could find: more FROGS! Ok, so I am in love with any and all things froggy. I have a booklet of frog designs but it doesn't seem to be enough. I would also love to find the perfect 23rd Psalm design. I have found one that is close to my liking, but I think I am going to have to create my own design using the sketches my dad did for me before he died in 2012. I have a certain image of what it should look like in my head. Now to get it into a design format and stitch it, lol.

Well, that about wraps it up. I am off to write another post as I didn't want to combine the two topics.

I think we all get into those funks every once in a while. Right now I have cross-stitch, crochet, sewing, quilting and even knitting that I could choose from yet here I sit on the computer as none of them are calling my name.

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

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!
