My Oh My....

I do love this sampler! It is "Sally Spencer" by Birds of a Feather. The colors are just popping on my Lakeside Linens Vintage Examplar! On the one hand, I want to stitch it quickly, so I can get it framed and on my wall. But on the other hand, I will miss stitching on it when it is all finished!

Ten Years Ago....

I remember where I was on that day....
I remember crying and crying for weeks - until I thought I could cry no more - and then I cried some more....
I remember the silence everywhere I went, as if everyone was so filled with grief that they couldn't speak....
I remember the skies over my house being so still - skies that are normally filled with planes going in and out of both of the nearby airports....how strange it felt not to see and hear them up there.....
I remember so many things about that day when the world did seem like it actually stopped turning....

I will never forget all those beautiful people who are now gone from us....

Laaaa D Daaaaa...

Here is my almost finished Miss Mary Mack Mack Mack - All Dressed in Black Black Black... oh, and silver buttons too.... on her back back back! I may end up putting some actual silver buttons on it before I get it framed! I've been stitching on her for a long long looooong time - and look forward to having her on my wall!
