How much stitching one can accomplish when setting down each day and actually stitching, if only for a few minutes! With encouragement from friends and self determination, I have finally completed one of those "must haves" that has been lying in my basket for quite some time.
As you can see from the pattern, the original sampler appears to be framed in a "found" frame. My thought is to leave off the border and frame mine in an 8"x10" frame that I may have in my stack of found frames. What do you think? There's no time to look...more stitching and a lot of gardening awaits.

And speaking of amazement...look at this rosemary plant I found while raking leaves yesterday. We have had an exceptionally, or what felt like, long hard winter and rosemary doesn't survive here in the mildest of winters. You can imagine my surprise!
My sister, who is the most amazing kind and loving person, prepared Easter dinner for her five children and their spouses and insisted my husband and I join them. Which in all totalled: 13 adults, 3 or 4 dogs and her five beautiful grandchildren...my great nieces and great nephew...all of whom are truly great. Her home is small, however with her heart, it is always filled with the most amazing love!
What amazes you today?

Wonderful find with the Rosemary! I just bought a little plant and am trying to keep it alive!
Strawberry Garden is beautiful!
Can't wait to see it framed. See, isn't it a wonderful feeling to have a finish?!
How cool that you found the Rosemary!

Your family is precious. So happy that your Easter was filled with love and memories. And hey, no matter the size of a home, it is the love inside the walls that matters most.
Yes, Jordan was smiling down on us yesterday! I know that for sure!!
hugs,

How was your trip? Bet it was much warmer than what we had in Indep! :) Did you go to the Garden Show in Gr.Wood today? I didn't get to cuz I had an appointment, but I plan on going in the morning with Bonnie (she was there today and bought stuff she has to go back and pick up). Hope she left some goodies for me! :)
Have a good evening! I'm adding your blog name to my sidebar. Dana
Finally finding some time to visit your blog. I am touched by your wise words and thought provoking posts and am thouroughly enjoying myself. Love this BBD Strawberry Gardens! Your finish is exquisite!
Also, I found that your 12 yr old GD and I share the same date of birth and I'll gladly give her the 5 pounds she so desires too, I have plenty to spare. lol
Love that BBD, it is truly my favorite!
