A Princess Moment

In the wee hours of the morning before press coverage starts, I'm about to get some shut-eye but wanted you to wake up to a freebie in case you would like to commemerate the historic event.

Please give credit to Feathers in the Nest as it is copyrighted.

I will be on a commute to work tomorrow but will be sure to catch the many re-runs over the weekend!

This will be available only through the weekend.

The colors I chose are:

Crescent color cotton--Rosey Glow-very light pinkish rose

Cresent Colors cotton--Chili Pepper, for bright red

Weeks Dye Works--Celedon--green

Weeks Dye Works--Navy-- the darkest of blue

Crescent color cotton--Garden Trellis for the silver on engagement ring and key

Crescent Color Cotton--Deep Blue Sea--the lighter muted blue

Gentle Art- Gold Leaf---all gold color

I am stitching on Antique White linen and the colors look gorgeous against the antique white.

I have started stitching and will post pics of progress as I go this weekend if all goes well. I have finished row one. This is a band sampler with British colors and the emphasis of the sweet moment of becoming a princess!

It's loaded in my Needlepoint 4 system frame now awaiting a fun weekend to watch and rewatch the sweet ceremony and stitch my heart out.

Remember to grab a copy this weekend for free in celebration.

Enjoy!

Letting you all know---it's been a very long 24 hours

Raging storms hit Georgia last night and we did survive. BG was out till wee hours working with GEMA as the storms had demolished parts of Alabama and were heading our way. In one county a sheriff's personal home was demolished to the ground while he was at work.
I had gone to bed early as I have had some heart problems lately and woke at 12 midnight (by the grace of God) with my heart racing and it wouldn't slow down. I had a bad dream that woke me. I walked into the living room and saw the TV on with the very scarey weather coming directly over Helen, Ga. BG was gone. I figured because of all this weather he got called out. There were multiple tornado warnings heading our way.

So, sure enough I clung to Miss Abbie who was shaking more than I have ever seen her shake and my pillow near the basement where I could go quickly down yet still keep hearing the news. We did that for 3 hours and I finally went to bed and prayed that if it was my time, it was my time. I fell asleep.
Abbie was under the bed at this point in fright. She wouldn't come out.

Just woke up again this morning quite shook up while BG came in and he is now out again looking for 2 people he knows feared dead just above the house.

I was already off today and I'm going to keep pursuing what I had to do today in town on my list of to do but please pray for our state and Alabama too. I'm still trying to read the news to see the extent of the devastation. I'm still in shock at these storms and the damage they left.
