Snowflakes, it’s my favorite time of year. Winter is calm and quiet. The world has a hush when the flakes fall. I love it! Growing up in the south I didn’t have 4 seasons and I won’t ever be without them again. I could live in eternal winter, but none of my loved ones would! #embroidery

Anyone noticed the ‘glow-up’ happening with Massie? Think he might have higher political ambitions?? Not saying he looks great, but that’s quite a change!

Winter beds are out and two kiddos are very happy! One kiddo won’t share with his brother so I may have to get another one!

A little progress…the pattern goes in the middle of the Aida squares and that messes me up, so I’m improvising! #embroidery

Something like this maybe? There are apps that can take a photo and turn it into a cross stitch pattern also, a memorial piece?

I think we all feel that way! I do take a tiny bit of thread conditioner and run it through, just a touch and I have to use smaller lengths as well. 1 tip I got was to knot the end and as much as I don’t like to do that, with shorter lengths it did help! This guy was all sparkly thread…ughhh!!

Wednesday work in progress! That border was the 4th try. Still not perfect, but it all came together and matched end to end. Moving on! #embroidery
