To Market

 To Market, To Market,

To buy a fat pig.

Home again, home again,

Jiggety-jig.

Hello friends.

Well I could not resist purchasing a few

cross stitch patterns from the March cross stitch market.

I was constantly getting emails almost daily

on new releases.

I did end up purchasing these.

This one reminded me of my gramma H's 

wallpaper in one of her rooms....

so this will be a fitting sampler tribute for her.

(I actually already have this one kitted up)

{ linen and floss purchased}

George Washington's horse named Nelson.

Had to have him.

My parents were married in a church on a hill.

When I get to this sampler, 

I will add their names and wedding date.

Since I love both snowman and hearts....

well this one I had to have.

I dont have anything for St Patrick's Day.

I thought this was so sweet.

Along with this one with the clover.

I may try to add in a bunny in here,

since they love eating clover.

Finally a Fall one.

I dont like the red, so will chose a different color

for this one.

Who knows, maybe a few colors.

We do have gray squirrels here...so maybe

I might make him gray.

Where the heck am I going to find all of the time

to stitch all of these?

Not to mention the ones I have already purchased.

Are you mad woman? EGAD

For all you cross stitcher's out there.

Did you purchase any new patterns at market?

I heard that if you went in person to Tennessee,

it was overwhelming and you would have not

been able to see everything.

I truly have caught the cross stitch bug.

Have not really cross stitched since the 80's.

Now I am gung ho on every season it seems.

Once I have Halloween at Hawk Run Hollow

finished, I will be able to do more of

my other stitching.

Hopefully it will be finished by Halloween...

finished but probably not framed.

In other news,

Mary I started to write the recipe for my mom's rolls,

then there was a part that had me stumped.

She will be here later today, so I will ask

her to clarify and I will then post the recipe.

I want to make sure it is right.

I have never made them.

Not sure if we will be able to see the partial eclipse

here in Michigan.

For all of my friends in the zone,

I sure hope the weather cooperates for you.

This is an amazing sight to view if you can.

My mom will be here for 2 days,

so I look forward to her visit.

We will go out to our favorite Mexican restaurant

which is 45 minutes away.

Its been a long time since we have been there.

Well have to get to work.

Hope everyone has a magical day today!

Market Blessings To All!
