While I have power.....todays update....

I wish I could tell you that the snow has melted and there is no ice..

I cannot tell you that because we are still like a virtual ice skating rink here...ice is laying heavy on the beautiful pine trees..

That is why I decided last night that I would continue with Anniversaries of the Heart~Blackbird Designs
and begin my 8th block..

Please excuse my lack of backdrop design elements...I am sitting in the stitch chair where the best lighting is.....

I thought I would take a quick snap and post while we still have power....
Winter Garden

Where ever you are, I hope your day is going well and you are spending some time relaxing and enjoying yourself~~~

Peace,

Faye

    It's lovely Faye! I am still trying to decide if I want to stitch this all on one piece!

    I hope you stay warm and don't loose your power.

    It's beautiful, Faye. I hope you don't lose power. We lost our power for quite a while with that blizzard that went through. Not fun. Stay warm!

    WOW I thought it was cold here in KY but I think it is a lot worse there as for now, no ice. Be careful and stay warm.

    Sounds like we're in the same "snow boat" :)I hope your power stays on; we hold our breath around here, but so far we've not lost power. Winter garden is looking good!

    You are making me want to stitch these Faye and lord knows I don't need another thing to stitch right now. LOL I hope your power stays on - be safe girl! Sorry to hear about the Saturday makeup days - that bites!

    I saw pictures on the news of some crazy person skating down the roads! I can't believe your weather. Stay safe and warm and take advantage of being inside. Winter Garden looks wonderful and I hope that the power stays on so you can stitch some more of it.

    Your piece looks gorgeous. I hope you don't lose power. Stay safe and warm (written from the frozen realms of southeastern NC)!

    May the snow melt quickly and may your power not go out (just the worst, in my opinion is sitting around at 5 p.m. with nothing to do but go to bed). Snow garden is such a pretty stitch, and way more appropriate than you'd like, probably.

    Faye,
    Thank you my friend for your prayers! This poor family is so poor and the daughter Anglynn is the young momma that I keep under my wing. Her 11 month old and 2 year old just got temporarly removed from her since the baby got hurt. That happened yesterday and now today they have lost their house. (The baby fell down the stairs and fractured her skull, so until they determine that it was an accident the state took her kids away!) I know that family would never hurt those kids! So today is so heartbreaking for them, DFACS was suppose to come to their house tomorrow to make sure the house was safe for the kids to come back home too, now they have no house. Pray Faye, I'm pleading to God for his help for this family! Sorry to unload, but it's so hard to just watch and not be able to do anything. :(

    While it feels cold enough for snow, all we got was rain! I could have used another day at home before tax season starts.

    Hopefully you will keep your power so that you can stay warm and stitch through that lovely BBD on your mini vacation from school.

    Stay safe!

    Winter Garden is so pretty. I love the colors and the peacock.

    I hope everything goes well and you don't lose power. We came through oksy but I want that skating rink in the front yard to go away.

    This is coming along beautifully. It's such a delicate piece. I'm sitting in the middle of a blizzard right now also.

    Hopefully your power stayed on, Faye. I hate the thought of the ice taking down branches from those beautiful pine trees--hope it melts quickly.

    Your BBD piece is gorgeous--very soft and peaceful looking. I hope things warm up down there for you soon :)

    Your BBD piece is absolutely beautiful Faye.
    The colors in it are so peaceful and serene.
    Hope the power holds out for you. Still no school?
    We are out today so I'm going to stitch my day away!

    Faye, I love your AoTH ! Would you mind letting me know what fabric you are using for it? You've probably mentioned it before, but I didn't catch it. Thanks !!

    I have to agree that snow days do make good stitching days, I wish we had more! But I hope the weather's not giving you too much trouble and fingers crossed that you don't lose your power. Stay warm.
