It's amazing how we can go from snow on Monday to 80s today! It felt rather warm when I retrieved my mail today. That was my only venture outside today, as I had plenty to keep me busy inside!
Tonight I have shared a photo of some of the stitching that I have accomplished so far this year for me to keep. I don't post a lot of my stitching because I do quite a bit to give away…the ornaments that I stitch for example. The first thing that I finished for me this year is the little Redwork sampler. I started and finished it in January. It is what the stitching world calls a blessing sampler. You start it on January 1st, and if you complete it by the end of January then your stitching for the year is supposed to be blessed. I’m not so much about what I see sort of as a superstition, as I am about just having the fun of joining the stitching community and attempting to finish a sampler in a month! You will note that this sampler is very small…I chose what I was pretty sure I could complete in a short time! The bunny piece will join my other Spring stitches that are scattered around the house at this time of the year, I just completed Miss Liberty this afternoon. I am trying to stitch several patriotic smalls this year in honor of our countries 250th birthday. She will join my other patriotic decorations after I enjoy my Spring decorations for another month! I will be making all three of these into small pillows to place here and there around the house. Now I need to get back to stitching Christmas ornaments that I will give as gifts this year. I have sort of taken a break from ornaments for a bit. I plan to start another ornament this evening and work on it today and tomorrow. Then come Monday, I may be in the mood for another small (or two!) for me, as I am awaiting an order with a couple more small patriotic designs. That order is supposed to come Monday.
To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
