It's snowing again and I am just loving it. Everything is so beautiful & peaceful. However the down side to all this snow, is the power keeps going out. Now I know it can be cozy to sit by the fire, cook dinner on the camp stove, have great conversations, & even play some board games by candle light. However by the second day it gets old, because I would love to take a hot shower, & do some sewing at my sewing machine.

So let me wish all a happy weekend, & post this before I loose power again.
Hugs,
Rebecca

Today is January 15th & 22 years ago Gregg and I were married. It has been a wonderful journey, and each day is better than the last.
Happy anniversary my darling. Your are the man of my dreams, & the best thing I have done is to marry you.




Doesn't he look handsome? My dress is blue velvet that was made for me by my sister-in-law Lynn. We were married on a cold afternoon & snow was expected, so the velvet kept me warm. I didn't want to ware a coat & cover up my pretty dress, so, is I had pink long johns on under my dress for more warmth. Of course I didn't really feel the cold because I was so excited.

Here we are today. a little grayer, but still so in love.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit.

Rebecca

Thought I would share with you my first finished stitchery project. I made this pillow for my Friend's birthday. I don't think she reads my blog, so it should be safe to share. I found the light house pattern on line. It has several different lighthouse. One day I would like to make a quilt of stitched lighthouses. The verse is from Charles Lindberg's tombstone. I took a photo when Gregg & I were in Maui because I thought the verse was so lovely. Then enlarged it so I could stitch it. I think it turned out well.






Now that I finished this birthday present, I will continue to finish the "Over the River" stitchery that I showed you a few posts back. I'm on the last panel, which I don't think will take too long. All the trees take the longest time.

I'm off to pack up my sewing room today. Why would I do that you ask. Well, my Christmas present was a new Koala sewing station!!!! I am just so excited. It is being delivered Monday so I must pack up all of my things. Yes, I will post pictures of my beautiful table once I get everything organized.

New Round Robin

Well I've decided to join in a round robin again at the Quilt & Needle forum that I am a member of.
I joined one last year & had such a good time adding borders on every one's medallion, in my group. It makes one stretch outside of your comfort zone.
However, sad thing , my top never made it back home to me. Yes I was disappointed, but thought I would give round robins another try again. This time my medallion is a New York beauty using my favorite fabrics which are Civil War. Anyone who knows me, knows I had to have pink somewhere. Those Civil War pinks are so yummy.
I will let you know how the progress is going on this new top.

Before I sign off, I just wanted to wish all my blog friends, a very Merry Christmas, and all the best for the coming New year.
Hugs to you all,
Rebecca

I wanted to share with you the wonderful gift my friend Deb, whom I met on Block Central's forum, made for me. She knows I love pink and made me this darling wall hanging. The pink house is so me. She did embroidery on the house & the little flower box. Then we have kitties in the corner which depicts our little home. I just love it. Thank you my friend from the bottom of my heart.

I can't believe Christmas is only 11 days away! I'm am so far behind this year. I have always been ready with my gifts and Christmas cards each year, but alas I'm sorry to say I'm running out of time. If you my friends & family do not receive a Christmas card this year, please forgive me, but know you are always in my thoughts.
Merry Christmas,
Rebecca

Decorating

Thought I would share with you our Christmas tree. I enjoy decorating the tree while Gregg puts up the outside lights. Our tree has lots of different Angel ornaments because I love
Angels. Some stay out all year long.

And here we have my Santa wall hanging. I have mad several as gifts and finally made one for myself. I made mine softer colors with more rose red, instead of bright Christmas red, it goes well in my house.

More items next time.
Hugs,
Rebecca
