Heart full of Thankful

So much to be thankful for...family, friends, health and home...so much more.

A favorite little sampler by Blackbird Designs. An added thank you to Alma for her critique of this blog and photo editing...all while preparing for a house full of "loved ones".

Look around today and every day and count your many blessings. Ask for no great things, only small things with great love.

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.

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?

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?
