Hey Remember Me?

Oh, been away far too long

Not a whole lot of stitching going on...

But here I am ready to get right back into it

for the new year.

 

 

This is the first IHSW of 2013, no better time

to get to it, eh?

 

This project is for the Chinese New Year

on February 10

(so I need to get cracking)

and I have chosen a motif from

Celestial Dragon

by Teresa Wentzler

Some day I would like to stitch the entire thing

but for now and for my co-worker

I think this will be nice

 

I'm going to make a hanging ornament

for her to display on the wall

(if she wants)

It is the motif on the top left

Happiness

and here's how far I've gotten!

 

I am making it in red and gold as those colors

are considered lucky in the

Chinese culture

 

The second share I have is from my Sunday

SAL with Debbie and Linda

Prairie Schooler Summer and Winter

and Spring and Fall

Oh, I was doing so well and then

nothing....

SIGH

 

But October's stitching is done!

 

 

 

My last share is sad news

I announced it on my craft blog so I might

as well here too.

especially since she was my

faithful companion for many a stitching

evening.  Darling Emma is at the

Rainbow Bridge and I miss her terribly.

 

It was the right decision to make but a

heartbreaking one nonetheless.

She didn't bring any pain to our lives while we had her and I couldn't let her live in any pain.

 

******

So, with a bittersweet heart I'm taking on the new year, and I hope and pray it is a good one for all of us.

 

Will share my progress after the IHSW weekend!
