This is a test
I have been having problems getting on Blogger and uploading photos, so this is a test.
I have been stitching and beading some, I am working on a Patriotic Samplers from Samplers and Santa’s, it is Marlys 1776 design I love it, I am using Gentle Arts threads Cherry Wine, Shaker White, Gold Leaf and Uniform Blue, I really like the colors on the fabric so far.
I hope to have it finished by Monday, since this is a test I will make this short.
Thank you to DJ for checking on Me.

Happy Spring Here In Minnesota
Greetings top all my faithful followers, thank-you from my heart for your comments, thank-you for all the private emails I received about how well I am doing, this touches my heart, thank-you so much.
I am doing well, I have flutters every once in a while but the doctor said that is to be expected due to the angry areas that were invaded with the ablation, it will go on for up to three months.
My husband likes to give gifts, he was raised with three sisters they taught him to be kind to the lady he marries, Mike wanted to give me an anniversary gift before our 47th anniversary, he is so kind.

I Am Home And Recovering
I want to thank- everyone for your personal emails, it is so kind of you to send good well wish's.
My ablation surgery took a little less then 2 hours, I was told if there were complications it would take 3-5 hours, everything went well, I am feeling better have done a bit of stitching and watching a boatload of Fraiser, I think Niles on that show is such a hoot and easy on the eyes.
I cannot do much until Monday, I have a weight limit and need to just relax, Mike has been doing all the cooking and cleaning up, he is such a sweetheart, I am so lucky to have him.
I will be posting again later this weekend after I have done a bit more stitching.
Thank-you from my heart

I Am Still Here
Hello to all my followers, thank-you for hanging in there, many things have happened here, I will not go into details except that I have been spring cleaning, lots and lots of spring cleaning.
I have done some stitching since Easter Morning after Mass, it felt so good to have needle and thread with fabric in hand, I had done some finishing which is not a lot but some.
First I want to show you my new design I bought just today on Etsy it is from A New Creation By Alison, she is an amazing designer and has so many beautiful designs I want to stitch but being a one at a time stitcher I will buy from her again after i finish this beautiful design, it is Nativity Band Sampler so beautiful. I hope to have the black fabric in my stash or maybe a dark blue will do. Please check Alisons site out. She is offering a 10% discount I hope you visit her. anewcreationbyalison.etsy.com
I did finish stitching Santas Workshop from Stitching Fairy, she is also on Etsy she has a blogspot: https://happinessiscrossstitching.blogspot.com Please visit Lyn also.

Did You Hear The Cries For help?
If you heard the cries for help it was me I am lacking a needle and fabric with thread in my hand, ouch it is hard giving up something so dear to me, but well worth the Sacrifice For Jesus Gave his Life for our sins.
I am missing needlework terribly, it will be another 26 days before I have my needlework in hand, it was very hard the first week, it is getting better I must say, I hope to keep busy with all the alterations and other things I am working on.
I am doing a felt project for Christmas, one I am doing for myself instead of someone else, I have gifted in the past.
I have been spring cleaning also, I have decided that I will not climb a small ladder to clean my walls, instead I decided to use a swifter dust mop to run along the walls, this is working out well, so easy and get the dust off the walls from open windows and the running furnace.
I will not post photos today just wanted to stop by and say hello.
I hope all are doing well, please Pray for the state of Texas they are having some horrific fires going on and California had some areas with five to ten feet of snow, something even the mountains are not used to.
Have an amazing week.

Some Finishing
Greetings Everyone: Thank-you for your comments on my last two posts, I will send out thank-you's soon.
I have given up stitching for Lent, it has been two weeks and two days, it has not been easy, but thinking what Jesus Christ did for my sins I am able to make it through the tough time of not picking up needle and thread, I will really appreciate the needle and fabric in my hands after Mass on Easter Morning.
I have been sewing and finishing cross stitch that I have done in the past, the pile is starting to go down, finally, they are simple finishes' but still constructed items.
First up is a Brenda Gervais that I stitched I am not sure maybe two years ago, it was a pattern I was able to rescue from the stash relocation table at Needlework Guild retreat that year.
Well, that is enough for today I hope you have an amazing weekend
