A New Day and A New Snowfall....

Hello again, dear friends:)  I apologise for my rather dreary post yesterday.  This morning we awoke to the most beautiful, soft powdery snow falling ever so gently, covering everything with a blanket of snow.  I am one of those girls who absolutely loves the snow, having grown up in 'Snow Country'.  The fir trees all look so lovely covered with snow today, and I am absolutely loving this beautiful day!

Thank you for all of your sweet notes yesterday.  Just the 'pick me up' that I needed, to hear from you.  I was supposed to go to my Stitching Group this morning, but my stitching friend, Bev and I decided that the roads were not safe enough to venture out.  Oh, how I miss being with all of the girls though. We always have such fun together on Wednesday mornings, stitching and chatting away.

Decisions, decisions......so many wonder designs in my stash calling me to 'stitch me, stitch me'.... I finally settled on this one for my first project for 2013.

Yesterday, much to my surprise, a wonderful package, full of goodies arrived in my mailbox from Chris .  

Each one of these goodies, was beautifully wrapped in gold paper.  I absolutely love the wonderful commemorative pillow, that Chris stitched, in honor of the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton.  There are even 3 commemorative porcelain thimbles for the Queen's Golden Jubilee!  Thank you so very much, Chris!  How kind of you!

Our  little grandson, Harrison, celebrated his First Birthday with us last weekend.  He was a bit overwhelmed by all of the fuss being made over him, as we all sang 'Happy Birthday'to him.

Let's blow out the One Year Old Birthday candle!

Harrison sampling the cake, decided that it tasted very yummy, indeed!

Emerson decided that it would be fun to wear TWO birthday hats to celebrate the occasion.  Oh what fun!

Well, dear friends, as you can see, we have been having a lot of fun recently with our grandsons.  Next week we will be celebrating Emerson's 3rd birthday. More fun to come!

It is wonderful sharing with all of you, my very special friends.  Thank you for all of your wonderful comments, which mean so much to me.  I am so grateful that our lives continue to 'cross in stitches' with one another in friendship!

Blessings!

Hello dear friends!  I must admit that I have missed my special times with you over these past weeks.  Where, oh where does time go so quickly?

Since we took our Christmas tree and decorations down last week, everything looks so bare.
