Happy New Year, Valentines Day, St. Patrick's Day, and Easter!

 Guess this is my first post this year.  I thought I had  posted.  Oops!  Oh well.  Things have been busy around here.  

I have a little story.  Back in 2020,  my aunt passed away just a few weeks before my mom did.  My uncle lived in their house and is now downsizing and moving into assisted living.  My aunt was a needleworker also.  She did beautiful work!  This is what they let me have that was hers.

                                            Angel of Love, L&L
                                            A beautiful fairy
     A dragon by a Christmas tree and fire place
                                            4 Seasons 
                                            Love this one!
                                            Winter
                                            Christmas snow globe
                                            Summer
                                            Autumn
                                            Spring
The above crochet books were my grandmother's.

And my favorite thing they let me have.


What you are looking at is a box that my uncle made for my aunt to put her finished pieces in without having to fold or roll them up.  He is an awesome wood worker!

I've been having some hip and back problems lately, but hopefully I am on the mend now.  Anxious for spring to get here with the warmer weather so I can get outdoors and walk more!  I have been stitching, but not a whole lot.

Oh, if anyone knows the designers for the above pieces (I know the first one - Lavender and Lace) please let me know.

The above spring, autumn, winter, and summer pieces are finished to hang and there is a dowel rod in the spring one.  I am going to make some kind of removable hanger to attach to the dowel rod so I can hang them.   They are so detailed!  Sorry the pictures aren't the best.

Back soon!  Happy stitching!

Magic

Magic blankets.  I have done one and started a second and have plans for a third.  Here is the first.
It is done in blues and greens.  I got the idea from Zooty Owl's blog.  Google the name Zooty Owl and you will find her blog.  There is also a Facebook group called Kim's Magic Blankets.  Lots of pictures there.  These are very fun to stitch!  I'll be back soon with my second one.  See ya!~~~

Overdue thanks, a finish, and a rescue

Kim over at Wisdom with Needle and Thread celebrated her 60th birthday this year by sending out 60 RAKS and I was lucky enough to get one.  This is what she sent me.

The top photo is a cute pattern with the pre-finished bag and the bottom is a pincushion she made.  I love the "brooch" on it.  Thanks, Kim, and sorry it took me so long to publicly thank you!

Went to our local Goodwill store and found this for only $4!
It is a beautiful tray with a Hardanger insert done in gold mettalic on a cream and gold mettalic fabric.  It is gorgeous!

My stitching Mojo has abandoned me, but I have been crocheting and beading.  I finished a lapghan last night, just need to weave in the ends.  Red and cream yarn in a granny stripe pattern with a shell stitch border.  I am on a quest to use up most, if not all of my yarn...so I can get more, lol!
If I  don't get back here before, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy new year!
