What Is Your Superpower? ~~ Day 7 ~~ My Day!



So have you been enjoying this blog hop as much as I have?

When I first read about this blog hop, I knew it would be fun.
I even thought it would be easy.
I had tons of ideas and tried to put them on paper.  But...

I struggled with it and procrastinated.

I don't think we have to be a superhero to have superpowers.

I think we show our superpowers every day in all the things we do,
the ways we show we care, treat others and the way we live our life.

Besides being a wife, mother, daughter, sister, caregiver and friend,
I also volunteer and use my talents to help others.

Stitching is one of the talents SUPERPOWERS I use most often.
I've cross stitched memorials for fallen soldier's families,
cross stitched blocks for quilts that are given to sick children,
cross stitched various pieces for cancer awareness auctions,
embroidered baptism napkins and altar linens for churches,
and sewn quilt blocks and quilts to be distributed to poor countries.

I also teach crafts and various forms of needlework to a group of young people
and together we make things that are donated to different charities.

STITCHING IS MY SUPERPOWER!

For this blog hop, I've stitched a couple of stitcher's accessories
which will be donated to an upcoming local auction for
children's cancer awareness.

Stitcher's Wallet & Pincushion
"Life's A Stitch" design by Lizzie*Kate
"Stitching Forever" design by Lizzie*Kate
Stitched on 32 count light green linen
DMC threads used in colors to match the fabrics 

 

 

I designed this wallet to include
a pocket for glasses, pens or other "needfuls"
a pocket for scissors and
a third pocket for needles.

   I hope you've enjoyed my post for the blog hop.


Stop by and see the other posters for today!

Spring or Winter?

It's been such a long, hard winter.  A winter that still seems to be hanging around even though the calendar says it's spring.

Spring flowers are just starting to appear.



Snow is still a regular occurrence too.




Snow one day and then it's back to spring-like weather a day or two later.
It's supposed to be a beautiful day tomorrow with temps in the low 70's.



Wishing you and your family a
HAPPY EASTER!
