Snow Progress

Like magic this morning when I awoke and peeped out the window, our land was coated with 2-3 inches snow. Pure. White. A Blessing of sight and a blessing I'm off so I  don't have to drive in it but just watch it from the window while I pick back up on this:  Land of Liberty by Bent Creek.

Got one of the birds finished. I had been stitching in hand last night for a bit and then before I went to bed decided to put in my standing frame to speed things up. I LOVE the blue bird!!!!!!

Ma TeaKettle was so kind to gift me with this!

She is so sweet.

Wished I lived closer so we could pop in for a cuppa and stitch together.

Here are a few pics Body Guard took this morning. He is doing better and we appreciate your prayers. Tomorrow the stent come out so we REALLY need prayer for pain relief tomorrow morning.

He's tough. He will be fine.

The sun is supposed to come out and temps in the 40's so most of this will melt but it will be in the freezing temp again tonight so may have a slippery ride in to work tomorrow.

Made some Cinnamon toast this morning and yes, I made a piece for Miss Abbie from the end of the loaf (not in the pic). She is a bit spoiled and I love her so.

Till later,

Midnight Progress on a Bent Creek design/Land of Liberty

18 count Wichelt linen

Bent Creek design--kit

gifted to me by Ma Teakettle, Karyn! this week.

Pearl Cottons in kit of beautiful Americana colors.

Started this today in the waiting room while Bodyguard had an outpatient surgery. He is doing well as to be expected for the procedure.......and in between chatting with the few in the waiting room, as we were a bit behind time, I got a few stitches in tonight.

I'm a bit tired though. New day starts REAL soon so best get to bed for recharging.

I will tuck this in my lunch tote.

I've always dreamed of having an area/ possible guest room for just Americana things and this will be a perfect stitch for it.

I love the color Uniform Blue and the Pearl Cotton on the birdies are so alike that color. Easy on the eyes. Ma knew what I needed!

Abbie is the only one in yoga pose tonight. I'm sore everywhere. Actually, she was leaping on chairs when we got home but soon is ready for sleep....like me now.  

Tweet, Tweet friends this week

This past whole week I've not had a camera memory card so I have alot to show you in a little bit of time because in an hour I have to be ready and out to take BG to the hospital for some minor surgery. He will be fine even though he has been pacing the floor since 7am. ;)  Usually when he is hyper, I'm all calm, so I'm sure that will change when we get there in a few.

I have a few mail goodies to show you. One I just received last night from Sandy and it made me cry it was so sweet!   Sandy I did get it yesterday in the mail!!!  It was waiting on me when I got home from a long day of work. Sandy and I both share a love for furbabies and this book will be treasured forever.

I popped that new memory card out this morning......finally!!!

Sandy's gift came in the mail last night with a most beautiful card.

With the sweetest stickers on the card and package. Sandy you are the greatest!

With a book that has this in the front

Isn't this sooooo cool?

Love it!  Meditations for Dog Lovers (that's me)

I thought of Ren the whole time and his little sweet self across Rainbow Bridge waiting for me.

I will hold this in my heart forever. Thank you Sandy.

Last week, Ma Teakettle, Karyn, sent me this to me as a RAK and make sure you are sitting when you sent what else here. I almost passed out.

Yes, you wouldn't BELIEVE the pile of big linen cuts here! I can't thank you enough Ma!

this is the most beautiful elegant linen color!

And all this as I drool again looking through it~~~~~in a STACK

That is absolutely stunning when I opened that. Karyn you really are WAY too generous. 

Before this last weekend, I was thrifting in a store while shopping for some things to go in a remodeled room, and happened upon this.

I couldn't resist. It had no musty odor, there as no marks on it.   All wool. And stitchable.

4 yards of it. 19.00.

I bunched it for you to see the whole piece.

I did a major happy dance in that store. Body guard thought I was nuts as I was skipping to the register with my find.

I played a bit on it with one over one and one over two. It's very stitchy for samplers.

4 yards!

I will fold it back up.

My new craze to add to my already developing meditation morning and night is this. Yoga. Power Yoga.

I got this yesterday and have done morning and night sessions. This is definitely hard core yoga.

It tones every muscle of the body. This morning, I took it slower as my muscles were sore from last night of 25 minutes session.

So far though I know I will love it. I loved going dancing and the flexibility of it for my joints is what I need.

After passing the sore muscle phase, maybe my breathing will improve...LOL

Last night I was on the floor in front of the TV trying to do all this and Abbie was nipping and biting at my face and pulling out every toy in her basket and dropping it on my head as she thought I was playing with her.

This morning, she is tuckered out in one of her poses. Is this the dog pose?

Speaking of Abbie, this is what she did to my new chair pad. I have to save this if I can.

I need all hookers in blogland to look at this.......(I know, you know what I mean) really, I have never done punchneedle or hooking (thank God)......but would I get a punchneedle to fix it or what??????

Is is saveable?

This is the back of it.

Thank you again and I have to scoot soon for an afternoon at the hospital, so I will be back to anxiously read your  comments. They make my day!

Say a prayer for us if you can at 1pm today. We will need it.

Till later,

Jennifer
