A finish...

No, not cross stitch, the house!

As we watched the truck pull away with the last load of debris, there were sighs of relief and dancing going on. Even the grandgirls were happy and approved of the new colors...don't you know how valued their opinions are?!

Looking back on the last 8 weeks, it was not that difficult...easy to say after it's a finish. A few little tweaks here and there, house numbers (and where to place them), how to decorate the front...you know those minor details that can make a difference in one's eye. All in due time, they will come, along with a growing list of "to do". Should you be pondering home improvements be fore warned, twice as much time and money and a great deal of patience is a prerequisite.
Forget the "to do's"...off to finish the wine!

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?

Ending and beginning. . .

Each new year fills my heart with reflections on the old and expectations for the new.  While taking down the tree this morning, thoughts of  "Will I always put up a tree?" came to mind.  How could I not?  Each ornament has its own story to tell. Even Annie was a little sad to see the tree go. . . However, starting the new year stitching was a perfect way to bring in 2012.  Thank you Beth ( Heartstring Samplery ) for providing this lovely little chart .  Will you make new memories and remember the old?
