I’ve been wanting to share pictures of some lovely homemade gifts I received from friends over the holidays – yes, I’m still catching up!
The darling knit stocking is from Kathy who happens to also be my finisher for several models and a very talented one at that! The cute Prairie Schooler Grasshopper and one horse open sleigh ornament are from Murf! She always sends such neat surprises!
This cute christmas ball was stitched by Petra in Canada and looked so festive on the tree!
And the sweet snowman from Lavon was tucked into the branches! Worked out well. Perfect finish for the little frosty guy!
Yesterday and today I think Winter forgot all about us and that’s ok. I’m enjoying temps in the 50’s. Hope the upper midwest is starting to thaw as well! Had I felt better I would have pulled out Rasgado for a short ride. Can’t believe I was making chili in below zero temps Wednesday! I also can’t believe that chill chasin’ dinner landed me in the ER late that night with a severe gall bladder attack! And it was snowing when we left emergency at 4 a.m. Looked so pretty. . . I awoke to a blanket of snow Thursday a couple of hours later. As an FYI, I am meeting with the surgeon Wednesday morning. Evidently this condition has been popping up for a while but it’s something that I attributed to other possibilities until I had pain I couldn’t endure. Well now I know. : ) At least it’s diagnosed, it’s been hard to manage these last few days and work with my Dad’s diet too but I’m tackling it. Wish me luck Wednesday!
I’m still stitching away on my Market models. Looking forward to being able to really dig into my MM&IRR and several other projects. Also have an itch to crochet a little something. So what is everyone else stitching on? Off to finish up this Heartstruck and go on to the next one. Thanks for stopping in! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! Off to update the gallery!
