June WIPocalypse

I was asked in my last post if I would share what "The Gardeners" is supposed to look like when it's finished. So that is what I am doing for this check in (in addition to answering this month's topic).

The Gardeners by Elsa Williams
Kit # 02162

I can't remember where I found this kit, but I have had it a number of years. Side note: I am one of those weird one's who enjoys working kits rather than piecing together myself, lol. 

Here is where I last left off on this before picking it up again over the past couple weeks:


And this is my progress as of the other day:



I have actually worked on it a little over the weekend, but I will save that for the next WIPocalypse check-in! And I should have a finish!!

And now this month's topic: Have you ever been to a stitch gathering such as a retreat or a festival? If so, tell us about it! NOPE. And not because I haven't wanted to attend a gathering of some kind. There just isn't anything like that close enough for me to participate. 

 Happy Father's Day to all the father's out there who may read this.

That is a very pretty kit. I actually work on both kits and printed patterns. To each his own. There are many beautiful kits on the market.

It's lovely! Doesn't matter how it starts out, it's the finished piece that matters, and this one is beautiful!

Holi-versary Giveaway!

On October 1, 2008 I decided to jump on the blog bandwagon! I really didn’t think it would last this long. Nor did I think I would make friends through this avenue. But it has and I did! I have been busy trying to settle into my new life as an independent woman and missed my blogoversary this year.

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

May WIPocalypse check-in and a Giveaway

Image
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. I also put some more into Cancer Ribbon Awareness by Ink Circles: I think I am going ...
