Winter Holiday Giveaway :)

Well the sun is out today and it is beautiful. I  finished framing my new design just in time for February vacations!!. It is stitched it on 28ct "White Chocolate" linen with a stitch count of 125 x 96.
I designed it to fit perfectly for you in an 8 x 10 frame. So I  am having a giveaway for this cross stitch chart. Please leave me a comment and your name will be added to the hat. The drawing will be on Saturday morning and I will draw 2 names for the free giveaway. Good-luck

Sundays Sermon and a Free Chart

I am sitting here in the quiet of the morning. Just sipping my coffee and looking out the window in my corner chair. It is gloomy outside but I know the sun is shining above. At least we do not have weather like to much snow, down pours of rain, or 150 mile an hour winds. So I am blessed for a quiet morning. Meagans gone off to work,  a waitress on a 12 hour shift but at least she has a job and what a day for tips with the big game, hubby is off to church and he is feeling well enough this morning to venture out and feed his soul. So I thought I would just sit here in this welcomed quiet time and give my thanks for all I have. I made this chart up a while ago and started stitching it for me but I was led to share it with you today. This is a beautiful saying that I treasure and I am passing it on. 

So give thanks in all things and have a blessed day

What's Up Wednesday

     " Hump-Day " promotes different thoughts here on the beautiful Maine seacoast, as this diving Humpback whale so majestically shows us his tail !

     In light of that line of thought, Id'e like to share some Winter pix. from our recent Nor'Easter dubbed by the weathermen as " Hercules " . As you can see, " Neither rain nor sleet or even snow, ...can hold our Fishermen on the GO ! " 

     There is indeed a layed back " Fishing Village "  charm here in York, Maine. A Good Ol' Fashioned New England Winter, is well deserving of being placed on everyone's Bucket List !

     From experiencing the actual beauty of a Snow Storm, to sipping a glass of fine wine, fireside at renowned York harbor Inn, you can STITCH in the quiet serenity of that crackling  stone fireplace.
What a treat !.....How about a RE- TREAT ?,...................coming very soon !!!

     Meanwhile, I'm stitching away on a new Old Fashioned New England Winter scene that I'm truly excited about, as well as finishing up my " Bird's of a Funky Feather " series.

Other projects that are keeping me busy are an upcoming class for a Massachusetts Chapter of The Embroiderers Guild of America, which is being held at Yankee Cross-Stitch in Hampton, N.H.
The group has chosen to stitch a 3-D StumpWork project.

     Be on the look-out for a new product line which is a Needle Felted / Mixed Media group of angels, which I have named " MESSENGERS ".
                                            Something NEW,......Fun, Fun, Fun !!!

Keep Warm

Keep Stitching and...

BE BLESSED !
