  ~ Greetings and Warm Welcome to you, my friend! ~  I once again have been gone too long from this space. So I will do my best to update you on the happenings *briefly* of what went on at the end of 2023. ~ October 4, 2023 ~ Ian married Kamdyn in a beautiful ceremony on their property in Bloomfield, Indiana: It was a beautiful day, a little windy, a little chilly but my heart was full and we gained a wonderful new daughter to welcome into our family! They honeymooned in Arizona and Utah...and at one point we had Pfeiffer's across the USA Utah:  ..read more

 ~ Greetings and Warmest Wishes to all of you, my friends! ~ So...October 2! Where in the world does my days go? I once again have painted myself into a corner and I'm going to admit I'm a little stressed about the amount of work I have here to be finished by deadline dates - that of course are like: November 1 and Dec 1...Finishing....it takes such extreme amounts of time and I feel chained, some days, to my finishing room. I typically do anywhere from 700-1000 finishes for clients per year. People can't believe that is true, but it is. And my wrists and finger joints can attest to it. H ..read more

 ~ Greetings and Warm Welcome to you, my friends! ~  I have been missing in action again.... everywhere. No videos, no blog posts...I do sometimes post on IG and FB, however I'm rethinking that avenue of posting as social media is just a bunch of negativity. We will see, what I decide. Many, many times I have thought over about pulling the plug on all of this, blog, videos, tutorials, social media, just delete and quietly leave. It's been on my heart for a long time. However, when I pray about it, I always get this feeling in my heart that God intends me to stay, be a light and not h ..read more

Greetings and Warm Welcome friends…. I would love to get my Santa of the Forest by Lavender and Lace done by Christmas 2023. Although this will never be taken down once I finish and frame him, he will grace my wall all year long!  Here he was May 1, 2023 - I had not stitched on him since January:  Here is where he stands as of today, May 10, 2023 (after this morning’s coffee and stitch time - which I don’t do every day, but needed to do a little relaxation this a.m.) This is what he looks like finished:  As you can tell, Vonna has a whole lot of stitching left….

Chatterbox....  After 12 years of marriage, I finally convinced Keith that we needed to adopt a cat. Keith was convinced he was NOT a cat person and after much talk and hours of Pros and Cons on pet ownership, the kids and I went to the local pet shelter. We had a cat picked out. A very nice black and white cat.... his name was Freddy. As the kids were petting Freddy, I was standing against what I thought was a wall. All of a sudden I had a gentle pat and a grey paw on my shoulder, I turned around and there was the most beautiful green eyes and a handsome grey cat that greeted me with a b ..read more
