It's A New Year Approaching - What Are You Grateful For?

As I reflect on 2009 I see that I have so much to be grateful for.  I had the great pleasure of being introduced to many new people, some of whom I know will be lifelong friendships.  My wish for the new decade is that I will have time to spend with each and everyone of those people in my life that are important to me.  My parents, although both having had a difficult year are getting ready to take yet another winter trip to Sanibel Island and I am grateful that are still able to do that.  I am grateful for those friends I can truly count on one hand.  You know that ones that will stand by you at any cost.  I am fortunate to have that in my life.  I am extremely blessed to have participated in many wonderful shows this past year and won another Best of Show in Deerfield, Massachusetts.  My wish is to be able to expand this year into the Pennsylvania area.  I hope that I am able to slow down, appreciate each day and smile, everyday.

What do you win do you say??
Well, one of these wintery lighted snowman hand made here a Rocking Chair Stitches. 

So here's hoping your New Year starts off a winner!!

Is it really December in New England??

So today in the Northwest Hills of Rhode Island it was 70 degrees.  I had thought about putting up the Christmas Tree but it just didn't seem quite right so I will wait until this weekend when the weather is a bit more Christmasy....is that even a word??? LOL


We had a wonderful time in Deerfield and it was busy with lots of new friends and old ones as well.  It is so nice to be able to put faces with the names on my email list like Mary and Pat.  So nice to see both of you.  It's great when you are able to shake their hands  and have a conversation face to face.  


We were told by many people that our booth was the best at the show.  How wonderful is that?  Several people came specifically to see us.  That is such an honor.  Our classes were well attended and the women had a great time learning how to stitch.  


I have pictures to post and will do that tomorrow.  For tonight I think I will shower and relax because in addition to the show I had a flu the entire time.  Thankfully I am feeling better.  


I know it is a bit late, but tomorrow both November and December's winners of the Sweets penny rugs will be picked.  Will it be you??


More later


Keep your family close.!!

OOhhhh Aaaahhhh - This morning I got a MMS Text from my girlfriend and partner Connie who dreamt about this new design and made it yesterday.  It's called Mason's Mittens because we both have a little Mason in our lives.  Hers is her nephew and mine is my "adopted grandson". Well in other words my daughter's friend has this 10 month old named Mason who is just awesome.  So if you would like to make a Christmas Tree Skirt for your own Mason, visit Rocking Chair Stitches. 

And OH By the Way, this is one of the little Mason's -- ISN'T HE JUST AWESOME
