When I Was Young I thought 2025 Was Way Into The Future

 Thank-you to all the wonderful comments from my faithful followers, my heart smiles when I read your comments.

I find it amazing that there are so many people who do not know me personally but care to leave comments and very sweet comments. This past year has been very hard on me and my husband, his illness and his sisters illness is very trying to me. I was scared by a doctor in the ER last November and told I may have bladder cancer, I am so thankful for the Prayers from the family and people that I had told this about, I do not have bladder cancer, I put everything in Gods hands, my Prayers were answered, I only shared this information with one person knowing she is a strong person when it comes to Prayers, thank-you so much, you know who you are, here in Blogland.

So on to stitching, I am almost finished with Blue Coat Santa, he is a full coverage design, I love Teresa Kogut Designs, and many other designers also. I hope to have him finished by tomorrow evening.




I have a couple of designs I want to stitch from Asbury's Echos, Rhonda has an Etsy Shop and a YouTube site, she has her son Drew on the videos with her, he sometimes shares what he is either making or of some of his animals, both the Etsy site and the YouTube site are Asbury's Echos by name, check her out.

We will star taking down the Christmas decorations the day after the Epiphany on Monday, it will make me sad, I love Christmas decorations.
I have a question for you, have you ever wanted to stitch a design look for it on Ebay, Etsy or Facebook and could not find it, I have been looking for a design for several years maybe if I give up it will show up sometime. I am not sure which one I will start next.

I hope you all are well enjoying needle and thread and some family time; it is very cold here in Minnesota, single digits and in the Teens only, brrrr.

Until, next time

I do love that blue Santa - he's gorgeous. As for the pattern you're searching for, do you have a picture? Could you post it and perhaps somebody will know where it's available.

I am glad the doctor was wrong!

You know...you do not have to take down the Christmas decorations. :)

If you use search image in Google you will find it. I tried with the first of your photos and found an Etsy source.

Thanks be to God! I do the same as Margaret. I search with the google image search. We are having the same frigid weather here. :(

Catherine, so glad they were wrong about your diagnosis. I had the same thing happen to me back in 2011...so scary while you wait for actual results! Have you ever tried one o the ISO sites on FB to find the pattern you are looking for? I love all three of the projects you're considering!

I am so glad you were ok Catherine. This has been a challenging year for me as well, but we know HE holds our future and walks with us. I am quite certain I thought I would be ancient in 2025. I don't feel that way anymore:) not even in the least. I have seen the green Santa being stitched on Instagram, but I love that blue one too.
It is supposed to get cold this week in north Florida, but of course, my cold seems springy to you I am sure.
Have fun stitching and stay warm.

I am glad you do not have cancer! The blue Santa is pretty.

Well, what a scare you had, Catherine! I'm so glad that doctor was wrong! Some years are just more challenging than others--we had one last year as well. Let's hope 2025 (which does sound very "futuristic" indeed!) will be easier for us. I just love your blue Santa and I hope you can find the charts you are looking for. Stay warm... I'm so glad we have our stitching to entertain us during these cold winter months. Happy New Year! ♥
