"What are we doing here?"...

They say as we pull off the road near the woods. "Picking up hedge balls, you know those green balls some call hedge apples." "What do you do with them?", they say in unison. "Decorate around the garden, of course!"
It didn't take long to get into the art of gathering hedge apples.


She did help, although her heart wasn't really in it.

And she will become the sidekick when gathering goodies from the woods. After all, it won't be long to search for red berries and pine cones.
"You mean we can do this again?", she says with a smile.

I MISS hedge apples!!! We lived in Wichita/Derby, KS for 12 years, we moved to Maine 7 years ago. I miss Heart's Desire stitch store too. We enjoyed many great trips to Kansas City.

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?
