A New Year of new beginnings with a blog update.

2017, a new year with new beginnings. January started with my birthday celebrations. Wow, I am now 77 and am blessed with good health, family and friends. My daughter, grandson, and granddaughter treated me to a nice dinner at Café Express.

January continued with lunch with my Lamar Consolidated High School class of '58 classmates and friends at Olive Garden. My class has a get to gather every other month.

I am even stitching this January, too. My daughter's friend is a firemen and has asked me to stitch something for him. I had What is a Fireman? Art Venture in my stash and so that is what I am stitching. His Birthday is Feb. 9th, wish me luck to finish it on time.

I have also put a few stitches in other WIPs in my rotation.

    Snowman and Friends Christmas Stocking – Gold Collection Kit

 “July” Calendar Girl Series-Little House Needleworks

 “Texas Cowboy Boot”–The 12 Days of Texas Christmas Series -Redbird Designs

Happy New Year and end of 2016

Happy New Year to all, wishing the best of everything in 2017, including many hours of stitching. As we come to a close for 2016, my life is filled with family and friends. Stitchery time found me finishing 59 items in 2016 which included many gifts and ornaments for exchanges. I have the items listed on my side bar, but here is a picture of them.

I will continue my rotation of 15 WIPs for 2017. This includes several series which I am making progress. The list is on the side, but here is a picture. I have included pictures of the completed pieces in the series I am stitching.
