Sleepy Saturdays


So many people have written me about Abbie. She is doing well and as you can see we both had a lot of sleeping to catch up on lately. She is so happy and content this morning in her nap.

That's what Saturdays are for! ;)

She sends out puppy kisses and warm, cuddly wishes to all this morning.

Every day is a Friday

Hayyyyy (in southern accent)  to all this morning and hope each and every one of you is happy, warm and cozy right now! After the peak of leaf color, there are even still some beautiful trees left releasing their pretty leaf color to the ground and I feel so blessed to live in the North Ga mountains. A dear friend of mine who lives in the northern states calls me a country bumpkin and I do believe I fit that sweet name. :P

I stitched a little on the Sampler Girl piece (His Eye is On the Sparrow)  but will show a photo tonight to you where after I stitched some of the lettering, I just couldn't live with the color I chose. I tried to substitute an overdyed thread but will be frogging tonight, the shade just didn't look or blend like the picture on the pattern. Later, I'll show you the before and after. A tiny restart but oh so much spirit to finish this piece and many more to finish.
I do more stitching in the Fall and Winter months anyways, do you?  Just seems so fitting for Christmas gifting, and stitching by the cozy fireplace of which I so love, love, LOVE! I'm ready to settle in and get busy. Miss Abbie has gotten attached to sleeping with me and some mornings is hard to bump her out of bed to make it up, but she is my lump of sugar and she definitely knows it.

 Bless her little heart at the love in her soul.

I hope you find something bright and happy in your day today and think of every day being a Friday.

 That helps my spirit greatly!

So many things to start thinking about for the holidays and I do believe this will be a good one for me this year as my plans include MUCH joy that I could have never anticipated! I'm just excited about it, so excited!

All those with the Sept. edition of the Christmas ornies, I missed that, but will be looking through one really soon to see the talent that all the designers have made this year for ornies. Even if I can't stitch them all up, I love to look through the magazine over and over.

I can't believe that Thanksgiving is almost here and then Christmas!!!!

Many of you know that follow this blog that I give a big Christmas give away so stay tuned. I will not disappoint you this year!



Timeless comforts. Enjoy the day.

Stay cozy and warm with your needles moving,
Jennifer
