Who's sleeping late...

Me or Mother Nature? One should allow themselves to sleep in on Saturdays even though it's the first day of Spring and there is a great deal of work to be accomplished. You've heard of Spring cleaning right? Once that's out of the way, the gardening begins. Wait...what is that surrounding the daffodils? Snow?! Does She not realize today is the first day of Spring? Or did I sleep so late my days are confused?!

Hopefully, the daffodils will make it through this new snow.

Everyone is tired of this long winter.

Please Mother Nature...wake up!

What a neat blog post, Joy! You are so creative with words! Love your stitched piece, of course!
I covered my daffodils last night so hope they survive, their buds looked ready to burst open!

LY,

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?
