This Week's Verse: Jeremiah 29:11

A Stitching Post

I re-framed another set of seasonal designs that I stitched in 2004. I love the way they look! I have no idea where I found the patterns, probably from an old pattern pamphlet.

Please excuse the reflections. I can't seem to find anywhere in the house to take photos without reflections. I have a lot of windows...

And here's a photo of my "seasonal" wall so far. 

No reflections, but please excuse the frames that are crooked!

Official Eleven Month Photo

She's taking steps holding your hands or cruising the furniture or pushing a toy

She's eating "real" food

She's mastering the sippy cup

She's talking (at least her version of it) all the time

Love you sweet girl!

A Stitching Post

Here is a photo of my Week 2 project. It's a hooded towel for Blizzard. Janel sent me the towel and the pattern to stitch. It's so sweet!

This week I was too overwhelmed with life to start a new project, so I picked up the Easter Egg Basket again. 

I think I'm just going to continue on with pattern for another week!

Blizzard!

Our sixth grandchild (third grandson) arrived today in Kansas. His blog name is Blizzard in keeping with my use of weather terms for all of my grandkids. He weighed in at 6'15" and was 20.5 inches long. Not bad for a little guy who arrived 10 days early.

We held a little family pool (no money involved) to guess the gender, weight, and date of birth. No one guessed the weight or date of birth, but ten family members guessed boy! haha

Dan and I can't wait to travel to Kansas to see him! And he has five cousins here in Arizona just waiting for him to come visit one day. Congratulations JD and Janel! We love you both and Blizzard. Welcome to the family baby boy!

SSMT #2

A Stitching Post

Wow, two weeks in a row for the stitching post! I kept to my plan and started a new project this week, but I failed to take a photo of it. I'll share it next week.

I love seasonal patterns. Meaning I love winter, spring, summer, autumn patterns. I have stitched many sets of these and finally found a wall I want to display them on in my home. I usually frame each season individually, but putting that many frames up on the wall takes up a lot of space.

This week I found a collage frame at Michael's for 4 4x6 patterns and one at Target for 4 5x7 patterns. I reframed two of my sets and I love the outcome. Now I'm hoping to find a 4 8x10 collage frame.

I stitched this set in 2011/2012

Jessica stitched this set for me
