A Blackbird Design Americana Giveaway is here!

Memorial Day is coming up soon!

 And then not too much later we will celebrate America on July 4th, Independence Day.

This morning I tried to find something that you would love for a giveaway. This would be a great Americana piece as well. I've admired it many times but have not stitched it myself. Stitching away at at Americana samplers from now till July 4th would be fine by me!

Proud to be American, and in memory of those who served our country and those who gave their lives for our freedom, this is one of the samplers I really think you will like.

SO, without further rambling, post on this post only if you are interested in a 1,2 or 3 times chance for a beautiful Blackbird Design sampler AND ALL the threads including overdyeds to go with it.

Hope your week started out well yesterday and today. It's jetting by for me.

Miss Abbie is being her spoiled -self as usual and reminded me that bikini weather is coming up soon.

Our AC unit upstairs is broke.....again. This is the new one that was fixed already once this year (in fact 2 weeks ago) . So, waiting for the AC man to fix that one----again--- and then the entire unit downstairs has to be replaced as it's many years old and only the air works, temp fixed for right now.

One of the Labs we have, Raven, is still losing weight and the doc can't figure out why and $400.00 later.

She is just not herself right now. We are trying to get her to eat some high calorie puppy food now but she is got to go back to the vet ----way too much weight loss in a short time.

Good news is that my new computer will be loaded up this afternoon by a tech and hopefully a new printer installed as well.

Prayers are being answered and I want to thank each and every one of you who have written personal emails for encouragement and introducing yourselves. I hold them close to my heart and want to thank you again for your prayers.

Also thank you for writing me and letting me know that this blog is meaningful to you. I know some days I ramble on about things not stitchy related but I'm pretty much holistic in my life right now. Stitching is my love and it's intertwined and inspired byother areas of my life. It's the grounding force for me when all the other parts of my life change. I feel honored to share the passion with so many people around the world and I welcome newcomers here as well.

I also practice yoga and have a deep love for it. If someone had told me even 2 years ago I would love yoga, I would have laughed but it's really not hokey and it's great exercise for the body, mind, and spirit.

Stay cool,

Jennifer
