Greetings My Dear Friends: It has been a year I hope never happens again, I became ill, I wore myself out taking care of my sweet husband, it was worth it.
I have lost 26 pound and hope to lose more, I will be having a procedure done hopefully soon, ablation on my electrical system in my heart, after researching and talking to many people I am at peace with doing the procedure.
Now some other news, I am giving up cross stitching for Lent, I do not eat sweets candy or drink soda or eat bakery sweets any longer so have nothing to give up, it will be hard but I know I can do it.
So after Ash Wednesday I will be sewing, alterations, beading, making Baptismal Bibs for Church's and get all my finished stitched items constructed that I have stitched in the past, my counter in my sewing room will soon be empty, I am so looking forward to this.
I will stitch this evening and stitch up until we go to Mass tomorrow evening, I will miss cross stitching but what Jesus did for me is amazing, with his suffering I can do the same in a different way by giving up something I do almost everyday.
I had hope to get this finished before tomorrow evening

I was not going to stitch anything this year for Valentines Day but after seeing Vickie's Blog and she asked if anyone is stitching Valentine designs I decided to do a small heart pillow, this is a freebie from Hands On designs stitched on unknown fabric two over two using my choice of thread colors
I stitched this up one evening, it is a freebie from
