A final finish for 2011

Here he is in all his glory a little finish,,I just love me some cardinals..and I have stitch this one 2 other times for gifts and thought it was time I did one for me,,
And here is an update on Betsy,,I thought for sure I would have her finish before the end of the year but my eye surgery put a stop to that,,she will be done in 2012.

And my new start will be Shepherds Bush The Wool Gatherer. 2011 wasnt that good in finishes for me,,I seem to take a major break from all my crafting during the summer months, even my husband had notice and mention it that I hadn't done any kind of crafts in a long time..
Well I am hoping you all have a Happy New Year, and I cant wait to see all the projects everyone is planning on doing in 2012...cheers and huggs.

As 2011 comes to a close..

I just want to reflect on the last year. I have many things to be thankful for, my health as one. A month ago I went to the eye doctor and they found a spot on my eye, and decided to do a eye biopsy to see if it was cancer, which made it for a stressful 2 weeks till surgery and then another week to get the results back. Well I made it thru the surgery and the results where the best Christmas present I received..no cancer just a sunspot on my eye..But I also have my family and they have been all healthy this year..my friends both on here and in person, I am truly thankful for you all, you take me to beautiful places I only dream of going, and show your beautiful artwork, and share with me your life's journeys of goods and bad, I am truly blessed to have each and everyone of you in my life. I live in a beautiful place and have a roof over my head and food in my stomach..and I thank God everyday for the little things like seeing a beautiful cardinal at my bird feeder, or hearing my 3 year old grandson laugh..2011 was a good year and I am praying that 2012 will be a better year,,I just want to wish you all a very Happy New Year and my all your dreams come true in it...sending hugs all over the world to you..
Thanks for being there,,

Hello all,
Well Friday is here, and as I sit here typing up this blog post, I am thinking of what I what to accomplish this coming year. I am not making any New Year resolutions as I am one to never keep them. So I am just going to post what I would like to accomplish this year..And I am sure the list will grow longer as the more I think about all the items I would love to do..but for now I have on 3 things..up first is stitching..

This I am hoping Santa will bring me,,I have loved this kit for years..so this will be my January start if I get it..

And this one I already have it kitted up,,

And on the reading front I would love to read all the OUTLANDER series by Diana Gabaldon. I have done some stitching in the early week, then I was hit with a very nasty flu bug that is still trying to hang on..so I will post pictures in the next post..well I hope you all have a very productive weekend,,and stay healthy..till next time.

Another quick finish..

Just finished this little cutie,,and its all your guys fault that I didn't finish yesterday. I get so involved at looking at you beautiful blogs and all the beautiful work you all do, that I don't get any stitching done. Please tell me I am not alone in this matter. Well anyway he is done and I just think he is just adorable..now if I can find the motivation to finish all these cuties into ornaments..maybe this weekend..well until next time I hope you all have a Blessed weekend.
