Satisfaction Saturday

Hello friends!

We had some storms roll in 

the other day.

I left work early to beat them.

Sure glad I did.

The rain and wind was so bad,

we could not even see our neighbors

house across the street.

Am glad my boss allows me to do this.

She knows it takes me an hour to get there

 each way, so she is very accommodating.

Plus I am her number one.

Being there 28 years, I earned it. 

I had two more items framed recently.

The first is Love Always.

This was my go to stitch at lunch each day.

Again I chose museum glass for this piece.

Not sure yet if I will put it out somewhere

or just bring it out for Valentine's Day.

Instead of adding the date as 20 and 24,

I chose to do 24 and my initials.

I id not change anything else with this one.

I also chose another black frame with leaves.

Thought it would mimic those in the piece.

I have my next Valentine stitch on deck to do.

Just waiting for the floss and fabric arrive.

This next piece you have already seen finished.

Now it is also framed.

Again I chose a black frame.

This one will remain in our keeping room

as part of my heritage wall.

This one had all of mine and Bob's initials,

birthday months, month/year we were married and state.

Currently it is being displayed with my other

cross stitch piece and one of my stoneware jugs.

Cannot wait to get Little Quakeresque completed.

Once that one is framed, I can start hanging 

my samplers on the wall here.

For now we will just enjoy looking at them on top

of the cabinet.

When I was paying for these, the manager

of Hobby Lobby came over to me and asked me

is she could look at these.

She told me what a wonderful job I did and that

this is becoming a lost art.

It made me think...yes it is an art.

Hopefully it is not a lost one.

I do love starting a piece and watching the 

motifs and design come alive.

I know many of you who do rug hooking,

quilting and fiber art feel the same way.

It is why we create.

In other news,

please say a wee prayer for my SIL.

She went for a test to start the kidney transplant

requirement and almost died.

She is currently in the ICU and still 

on a ventilator. She does have muscle movement

and has opened her eyes, but remains in 

critical care.

I hope this setback does not remove her from the list.

She so needs a kidney.  

They moved my daughter into a rental house now.

They started painting her house, so hopefully

soon she will be back into her own house.

Someone has been stealing her mail though.

She had been getting it every day, but lately

someone has been taking it.

She know, because she gets notified when

mail is delivered.

Really sucks that there are those out there who do this.

She went to the Post Office to stop her mail now.

Well my friends,

hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Satisfaction Saturday Blessings To All!
