Trying to Catch Up...

I was excited to be able to do some stitching this past weekend, and I enjoyed every minute of it! This first square says "possibility". "Possibility" is such a powerful word, and has a special place in my heart. To learn more about why I feel this way, click here. It all started with this artist/blogger, and I will forever be thankful for her inspiration.

I just had to stitch a little chandelier! This one is inspired by the chandy over my kitchen sink.

Okay, you knew it was coming... a Hagrid-inspired square! This is my stitched Haggie...

And this is my real Haggie!

And this is Haggie-who-needs-a-bath. I took this the other morning. Yes, he's spoiled. Yes, he's even allowed on the bed when he's dirty. In my defense, just look at that face. Is he not the cutest? Okay, I just love my boy.

Okay, another random pattern. I didn't want to use up all my best ideas in the first two rows, so I've been sprinkling in these "random pattern squares" throughout my sampler. This one could use a little more pizazz, I think. Maybe I'll add some tiny little beads? Ticking stripes? It just looks unfinished to me.

This square is inspired by my love of gardening, and vintage watering cans. Up until January, I was running a therapy garden that you can read about here. I really miss gardening with my therapy gardeners. It really was a great experience. On the brighter side, now that I have a house with a yard, I can dedicate more energy to my own little piece of the planet. Spring has sprung, and there's definitely some gardening to be done here on the home front!

Well, I hope that you've enjoyed this little update. (Those of you who are new to my blog may have even learned more about me!) I'm still a few squares behind, but I've got some fun ideas brewing! Please stay tuned...

Hugs,
