I Don't Want It To End

Good Evening Everyone!

The magic of Christmas is so special that I

never want it to end, but everyone has left now.

Hollis and Paul packed up the car and left

this afternoon.  So sad to see them go.

 Cameron and Ashley, our son and daughter-in-law, 
left early on Christmas day because of the weather.
 Normally, they spend the night, but were afraid the snow 
would keep them from getting home and going back to 

work.  What a disappointment that they had to go. 

 It is so rare that we all get together for an extended
time.  The snow was beautiful but I would

have rather had everyone here.  My usual family
 gathering on Christmas night was canceled
 because of our snowy weather.  Every Christmas 
I cook lots of desserts and everyone comes here

for that last sweet indulgence before it is over for 
another year.  Must get the desserts in the freezer, 
or you know what will happen. 
 This is how I feel tonight. . . . 

and I might add that it is also how I look after
all the holiday indulgences.  But it was fun!!! 
That's all for tonight.  
Many Happy Stitches,
Sandra

Fall is Coming Soon

Greetings to all!!

I'll believe it when I feel it.  Fall is suppose to arrive in

Virginia tomorrow with crisp temperatures.  The sun

is suppose to appear after several days of blessed,

but in some cases excessive amounts of rain.  We

so needed it though.  We live next to a wooded

area and I always start to fret when it becomes

this dry in the Fall.  We have kids who walk through

the woods going from one neighborhood to another.

I know some of them are smoking, so I worry

about fires.  Thankfully I can stop thinking

about that for a while.

  I am really into my Christmas designing now.

There will be so many new things to show

you in the coming weeks.  Here is a "snippet"

of a new design.

I will have the second design in my new "Delivering"

series soon.  It will be a Christmas design, full of "olde"

fashion charm.  I think you will like it.  Will

show a little bit of that soon.

Update on my automobile accident.  I will be

starting physical therapy on Monday for my

shoulders.  Happy to report that the Dr.

does not think it is my rotator, so no surgery.

Thank heavens.  I hate physical therapy but

maybe I will be even stronger than before

when it is over. 

Hope to get some Fall decorating done this weekend.

Will show some pictures of the transformation

when done.

In the upper left corner, I now have a link to my

Etsy site.  You might want to check there occasionally.

I am going to be listing my new publications and lots of

other finished "wares".  

Wishing you a great night with "Many Happy Stitches",

Sandra
