Merry Christmas, Joy!

Wow, we have had some kind of weather, haven't we? We made it to our son's late yesterday....they live in Lenexa. By the time we left their house, the highways were very slick with ice...saw lots of wrecks. We finally got off the highway and took the side streets home. They were snow packed and much safer to drive on!

Loved your comment about the FP Nativity set! :) I also enjoyed reading your recents posts. You are such a great blogger, Joy! The post about the birth of your daughter touched my heart. Our first baby had to go the CMH, too. He would have been almost 35 if he had lived. Sadly, he passed away when he was just 4 days old. I so understand the feelings you shared. Luckily for your family, your beautiful little girl survived....and you have been able to spend most Chrismases with her! What a gift!

L, Dana

Bowled over...

With the thought anyone would stitch a design over and over...let alone seven times!  This is not my stitching and I normally don't share the stitching of others.  Although, I did finish the witch seven times.  No, I won't stitch a bowl of wee witches, but I would stitch more than one if I knew who the designer was. Do you stitch a design more than once?

Counting. . .

And counting the days, or should I say the months since I have posted.  I think of it often and do so enjoy seeing your posts.  Where does the time go? Life is becoming a new normal here and all is well.  I am, however, surprised that I even remember how to start a post.   Finely Finished  is now a full time job--not my favorite word.  Finish work is a passion for me (not a job) and I'm fortunate to have clients' that allow me to spend time in the studio and "create" using their finely stitched pieces.  And how fun to have someone say "do your magic"!   Strawberries seem to be a favorite to stitch these days.  With so many lovely designs, I can see why.  Erica Michaels' Quaker Strawberry  has passed through the studio in many color ways. Tell me. . .are you counting stitches or days?   Thank you for stopping by, looking forward to hearing from you.

Many...

Of you have been posting photos of your Christmas decorations, some even rethinking this year's decorating. Few changes take place here, which may seem boring, but I think of it as tradition.  Every year when I begin to decorate fond memories come to mind as I place each ornament, Santa and treasure in it's usual place. Yet simple as it may be, I did rearrange the deer tray and... The Santas came down from the mantle... Allowing one of my favorite samplers to shine without the clutter. What changes did you make this year?
