I have stitched this one before and

just missed it.  It will forever remind

me of my trip to San Diego.  I stitched

this on the plane, in the airport etc

and it was finished on my flight back.

 My son bought this on our trip and

i  hope i have a stitcher in the family.

I taught him how to stitch.  Maybe

a future stitcher.

 I sent my sister Cheryl this

fabric and she made me two

project bags.  They are just

gorgeous.  thank you Cheryl.

 Me and my son in San Diego

The ocean was just amazing.

This was a work trip and I had

such a great trip.  I tried to up

load more pictures but

blogger was not cooperating.

 My co-worker Angela and I

San Diego was just beautiful

A great place to visit.  I could

never live there, way to 

crowded for me.  The

weather was cold compared

to TN.  The ocean breeze and

smell of the salt water, I will miss

that.  It was an amazing trip.

I tried to upload more pictures

but blogger is giving me a hard time.

I just posted a video on Youtube.

Some amazing photos there.

sparkle.

 The Roses started to Bloom today

Lots of buds on all of the bushes.

 I am in the process of setting up my

garden beds.  Lots of work

but the rewards will be amazing.

I hope everyone had a Blessed Easter.  It

was an amazing day here in TN.  The weather

was just perfect.  Spring is here and I just

adore this season.   I am going to San Diego

this week with my son.  Its my annual work

trip.  Please pray for safety and a smooth

trip.  I have not been on a flight since

messed up and I pray for no pain on the plane.

Happy Spring

 From the JCS ornament issue 2013

Peace.  I changed some of the colors

Peace was done in a satin silver.

 I made a ribbon candy cross stitch

years ago.  I missed this piece, so i 

did another one.  On the right i combined

two different lizzie kate patterns to

make this summer piece.  I added black

cording and layered a purple chenille

onto top of the cording.  A double

layer trim.

 This is also from the 2013 JCS

ornament issue.  by CCN.

I added red and clear swarovski crystals

 A couple of years back i made

a couple of cross stitch necklaces.

I really wanted one again and

made this piece.  I used a rosebud,

Perfect for spring.

 Back from the framer.  The designer

is Satsuma.  Happy spring.

This framed piece is just

gorgeous.  It is really hard to

get a good picture due to the glare

from the glass.  It is now hanging

in my livingroom.

 My daughter  Alyssa was down

for a Visit to TN and also

stopped to see my son in SC.

I showed her all the sites to

see in TN.  It was a great time 

for both of us.

 Ducks at the park

 Turtles sunbathing at the park, so cool.

I made this piece for my sister Cheryl.

I forgot to post .  the pattern is by

Priarie Schooler.  Double

wedding ring.  

I hope everyone is having a great Spring.

The warmer weather is so nice.

Happy Stitching everyone.
