So happy it is June

"Singing the Blues" By Little house Needleworks.
How Ironic, i finished this piece on May 31.
I was singing the blues in the merry, merry,
month of May. Its a new month full of
birthdays, graduations, prom. This piece
was started on my cruise in April. Its
been a while since i finished a piece. The
pillow really came out nice. This might be
a gift. I will be getting back into the groove.
May June be filled with lots enjoyment and
fun.

SUMMA CUM LAUDE

So proud of you.  Congratulations.

Welcome to Miami

On April 20-25 i took my first cruise to the Bahamas.

The boat was nice and I didnt get sick at all.  The 

food on the boat was great.  I still prefer staying at

a hotel and having fun on adventures.  The best

part of the trip was staying an extra couple of

days in Miami when i came back.  The food was

great in Miami.  The weather beautiful.  I did

start a cross stitch piece that I will be posting soon

that i started on the cruise.

An exchange received

A PS exchange received.  I haven't had much

stitching time at all.  I have a family crisis going

on.  All prayers accept.  No weapon formed against

me shall prosper.  Betrayal in any situation

really hurts.  And this to shall pass.

In Memory of Whitney Houston

In Memory of a great musical legend.
She is my generation. I grew up with her.
She grew up in the church and loved the
lord. May she rest in peace. She will have
no more heartache, no more tears, and
no more pain. Her music will live
on, and so will she, in HEAVEN. Her
last breath here was her first in Heaven.
May she be remembered for her amazing
music. Her personal life had its ups and
downs just like everyone else. The media
really has no respect people. We all
fall short.

Go Giants

I have to go for my NY Team.
Go Giants.

Latern Santa

Lantern Santa. This pattern is in the 2011 JCS Ornament issue.
Page 52. Pattern by Sue Hillis. I did tweak the pattern a bit.
I did not outline the piece, I liked the simplicity of this look.
This was done for a santa exchange. I added mill hill beads
to the lantern and it really stands out and looks like a real
lantern. The fabric on the back is the fabric you see. The
stars add a nice touch.

Sunflower Santa

The pattern is by "The Sunflower Seed"
There are only certain santa's I like in
cross stitch, This one is just adorable.
Combining Christmas my favorite holiday,
and Sunflowers, one of my favorite flowers.
Done on linen. The ornaments in the photo
are from my daughter who bought them back
from overseas for me. In the upper left, the cross
is from Spain, In the upper right the shoes are
from amsterdam, the lower left is from Germany,
and the lower right is from Switzerland. The were
a couple of more she bought me also. She also
bought back a ton of swiss chocolate, yes, I ate it
all. The best chocolate I have ever eaten.
I want SPRING AND SUMMER. Does anyone
else feel this way?
