Sorry I have not posted again in a while but the "After Holidays" and winter blues got me :(
Maybe it did not help either that I had a cousin that passed away suddenly. He was only 55, life was not easy for him but to me he was always like the brother that I did not have. I have good memories of growing up with him, playing cars in the sand, hide-n-seek, and cowboys and Indians. I do wish that I had kept in touch more to let him know he was not alone. But he is in Gods arms and at peace with more love than we can give.

One of the other things I ave been stitching is a model for Just Cross Stitch Magazine. I am so excited to be the featured designer in the March/April edition. Christy said it is a floral edition and thought some Funky Flowers would be great. So if you like the Funky Flower series that I came up with you should get a copy of this edition of the magazine because there are 9 flowers in it for you along with an interview I did for the magazine. This is also their 30th year so please check them out and here is a peek of the design.
I am so happy for LeAnn at Camp Wool. She is moving to another location in Kennebunk Maine. She will have an open house there on Feb.1st, 2nd and 3rd. I will have a trunk show there for the month of February. If you live in the area please check it out and I will also be there Feb 1st and 2nd to meet people and sign charts for the open house. She has so much wool and more, I can spend hours there just being inspired and looking for treasure.
So until tomorrow and I need the sun to lift my spirits. I think I see it coming out today :)
thank you for reading my blog

It is so difficult when we are apart from someone we care about when their time comes. I am sure he knew how much you cared and had the same memories of playtime. I can't wait to see the magazine and your interview. Congratulations on being selected!
