Taking inventory…
I’ve been collecting the DMC Color Variations floss and recently acquired some of the newest colors as well as a few more of the older colors.

I printed the color card and used that as my inventory list.

My DD was with me when I found a few of the newest Color Variations and this one is her favorite because it’s called Camouflage!

BLOGVERSARY - Hard to believe that I’ve been blogging a whole year!  I am so blessed to have followers that I can share my stitchy and family stuff with.

ANOTHER SAD ANNIVERSARY – Tomorrow is the 2nd anniversary of my dad’s passing.  He is still missed so much and there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about him.

HERE ONE DAY, GONE THE NEXT – With our unusually warm weather so early in March, the flowers and trees have budded and bloomed really early.  My hardy azalea bush was beautiful in full bloom.











And then the cold temps returned.  We had several nights of temps in the freezing range that destroyed the blooms on the azalea bush as well as our fruit trees and other blooming trees.


I’m a bad blogger!
There’s been a lot of Liebster Awards going around these days and I’ve been the lucky recipient TWICE!

I’m truly touched that two fellow bloggers chose to award my blog.  However, the conditions a blogger must satisfy when accepting the award include awarding the Liebster Award to five other blogs with less than 200 followers.  While there are many blogs out there to choose from, I found that they have either already been awarded the Liebster Award, have more than 200 followers or don’t accept awards.

So, as much as I appreciate being awarded the Liebster Award –- twice, I am not able to accept the award.  I do hope the fellow bloggers who awarded my blog will understand.


UNTIL NEXT TIME… 
HAPPY STITCHIN’

It’s been another busy, busy week and I can’t even remember it all!

My mom saw the oncologist last Wednesday and the news was not unexpected.  This course of chemo hasn’t been providing results.  Mom will have a break until the end of May and then start a different chemo medication.  The Dr is hoping the 6 week break will give her kidneys time to recover and restore some function.  She is also now experiencing a flare up of her congestive heart failure and will need treatment for it during this 6 week break.

Snickers saw the vet again.  The spinal injury is healing well, but Snickers still needs some anti-inflammatory medication.

Isn’t it just typical?  I put a rug down in the grass for Snickers to lay on, but she wouldn’t lay on it!

We came home the other day to find half the wood pile had fallen.  We’re not sure what made it fall, but it took Hubby over two hours to restack all the wood.

Until next time…

Happy Stitchin’

Ornament Finishes

Since these are by the same designer, I stitched these ornies one after the other and then finished them together.
Woo Hoo – I now have 5 ornaments finished so far this year!
