Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride! - Unknown

Father's Day and Stitching

Happy Father's Day to all the father's in the world! I spent today remembering my childhood with my Daddy who is still my hero after all these years. I can't believe it has been 31 years; I still can see him in my mind's eye. Here is a picture of my parents which I love; they look so happy together and it is how I like to think they are for eternity. Miss you Mom & Dad..... Love You!

I spent this week working on my Kind Fond Love Sampler by the Sampler Company. This piece has been so enjoyable and I seem to have a hard time putting my needle down. There is so much color and it makes it enjoyable project. As I work on it, I have enjoyed finding out about he history of samplers and what the different meanings of sampler designs were. Here is a list of what I have stitched so far and their meanings.

Roses - love & beauty
Stag - gentleness & pride
Crown - eternity & fidelity

Hopefully, my next update will show as much progress on my BRD sampler. I am hoping the rotation between the 2 projects will give me some variety between projects and will keep my stitching ADHD at bay!
