Weekly Update

Good morning all. Hope the first week of the new year has gone well for you. Our weather here has turned cold for us. 50s in the day and 30s in the night. We had rain for the last couple of days, but should clear up today. I spent New Years Eve at my daughter's annual New Years Eve Party. I had a couple of glasses of wine to bring in the New Year and then went to bed rather early. Enjoyed the first day of 2013 stitching. I have also joined a couple of card challenges for the year. I will post my progress on a different post. They are the 2013 Christmas Card Challenge(52 cards for the year and 2013 365 Card Challenge(1 a day). Here are the WIPs and new starts this past week. Also, started an ornament for the Friendly Stitchers Group Valentine exchange.

2012 End of year updated blog

Good morning from cold Texas. Here in South Texas we have a cold front with 20s and 30s at night and only in the 50s during the day. Rain is called for Monday and Tuesday. Hopefully all will have a great New Years Eve. My daughter has an annual New Years Eve party that I will be attending.
Christmas was great, spent Christmas eve and Christmas morning at my daughter's. Then Christmas eve afternoon, she hosted the family Christmas. Enjoyed being with all, seeing the children and adults opening gifts and visiting. We are small in number, only 12, but big in love of family. My new picture was made Christmas afternoon. The grandkids are growning up so fast. Anna is 7th grand and Christopher is a senior and will graduate June 1, 2013. They really did it great with my gifts. I received a stitching stand and a cubby organizer(Dianne from LittleHouse has been showing it on her blog). I fell in love with it and I am so excited to have it hung. Also, received a number of scrapbooking supplies for my other hobby. Everyone was excited to see what I had stitched or crafted for them. It is fun to stitch and have my stitching loved.

Here are pictures.

 

Happy New Year to all, see you next week for the first of 2013.

2013 Christmas Card challenge

My goal for 2013 is to crosstitch and catch up on making Christmas and other greeting cards. I have joined a new blog that will help me reach my goal for 2013 Christmas Cards.

Merry Christmas to all

Here it is almost Christmas Eve. What a wonderful season. Looking back at 2012, we have had a lot of happiness and sadness, but 2013 will be a new year to start all over again. I am blessed to have a wonderful daughter and two wonderful grandkids, Christopher,18 and Anna 12. Here is my Christmas card I received from them.
I am also stitching one last Christmas gift to my daughter. A stitchery friend on Dec 8 at our stitch in said she remembered my daughter played Golf, so she wanted to give me a chart to do for her. Of course I had to do it for this Christmas. I only need to add the back stitching to it and frame it. I have a frame ready for it.

 

I have only my gifts to wrap and I can start enjoying the holidays. I will spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with my daughter and grandkids. Then Christmas day afternoon, I will enjoy the day with my brother-in-law, niece, great niece, nephew, his wife and two boys. It will be at my daughter's home.

 

I did stitch some this week on my WIPs, plan to finish Libby by Jan 30 for my Granddaughter's 13th birthday.

Here are pictures of the WIPs stitched on this past week.

Sunday Update

First let me send my prayers to all in Connecticut. Our weather here in Texas has not been a typical December. Days in the 80s and 60 and 70s at night. Rain today, then a cold spell is due, thank goodness. Will watch our Houston Texans Football today, hopefully a win.
I did finish two Christmas gifts this week. The New Mexico Map and Percy Pig. Now I have been given a pattern called Golfing Chick. My daughter golfs, so I will try to finish it this week for a gift to her. I have made a little more progress on WIPs this past week. I plan to stitch a little each morning on the Golfing Chick and in the evenings on WIPs. Here are pictures.
