Prize received!

I was the lucky winner of Peggy Lee's blog giveaway and a heavy Priority Mail box arrived yesterday!  DH and I had so much fun opening it and looking at all the goodies!  Here is a picture:

Thank you SO much Peggy Lee!

Edited to add:  I just noticed in the picture  on the bottom right, the walnut shells fell a bit and covered up the pretty red/white/blue Dinky Dye scissors! 

Cold!!

Well winter finally decided to show up here in Ohio and wow it feels cold!  We got about 14" of snow last weekend, and then it rained on Tuesday/Wednesday so it all melted quickly.  Now it is snowing again and we are supposed to get 2-4".  I just feel very very cold!   

Still stitching on Deer Friends by Becky Boo's.  Usually I only end up stitching during the weekend because in the evening I am too tired after working all day. 

January 12th!

Today is our son's 29th Birthday! He was supposed to be born on Christmas Eve, 1982. But didn't appear until January 12, 1983! He brings us smiles and laughs every day. I know that God only gives special needs children to certain people and I am glad he chose us! Our son has taught me more patience that I ever thought I would have.  Here is a picture of him with his dad (my wonderful DH) (oh and we were at Disney World's Polynesian, hence the leis)

On the stitching front I DID finish the Lizzie Kate HOHOHO.  Just have to iron and get a picture of it.  I started a design by Becky Boo called Deer Friends. It is on a 10 count with perle cotton. Oh how nice it is to work with!

I just finished reading all Carol's old entries from 2009-2010 in her blog Stitching Dreams.  I just love seeing all her stitching and she is a great writer!

We are supposed to get snow starting tonight...we'll see if they are right! We have only had an inch or so this winter so far!  Very rare for Northeast Ohio!!

Take care and I will be back with photos!
