Sunday Starts

 Now that I am retired I decided
to start two more samplers.


First one is Jeny Brimer
by Milady's Needle.


I will be adding in my grandparents names
for this one for my heritage wall.


The next one I chose was
Elizabeth Manners 1843.
I wanted to do this one to place next 
to  Sarah Casey Unwin which is  below.


With the biblical sayings on each,
this will be my mini blessings wall.


My first day start I stitched 
a little bit of the border and the angel.


The angel was suppose to be this pink color.
I chose DMC 3779 which is the peach.
Did not want a pink angel.
I may work on this one more than the others,
as I want to make sure they have
 the same frame color like the other one.
Will see though...I may change my mind. LOL

In other news,
Well one full week of retirement under my belt.
Bob asked me how it felt to be retired now.
I told him right now it just feels like
I am on vacation.
It may take a bit to sink in for me.

Tomorrow Bob and I are meeting my brother
at my mom's house.
We are finished cleaning and now we
want Bob to see if he can sell anything
in our store before we contact
my friend to do the estate sale.
She knows we own an antique store,
so there will be no hard feelings.
She also knows we need to get as much money
as we can for my mom's care.

Hopefully it will be a nice day today so 
Tundra and I can spend some time outside.
Unfortunately he found a bunny nest yesterday,
and proceeded to grab the only one left.
Bob told me it had all of its fur, but died.
He also put some pallets around the area,
so Tundra can no longer snoop,
but he thinks he was too late.

Happy stitching, crafting or Hooking Blessings To All!
Janice

  1. Good morning, always enjoy seeing your stitching projects. Hoping the estate sale goes well-that is always a rough one. I always remembered my Grandma's estate sale.
    Happy new week hugs Kathy

  2. I really like the Elizabeth Manners and it goes so well with Sarah Casey Unwinn.
    I hope all goes well with your brother and then the estate sale. It will be good to be done with all that.

  3. Guess you are like me with having a 'plus one' to work on when the other gets boring.
    Janice, it will never sink in that you are retired, it will always feel like a weekend, holiday or vacation to you. Enjoy!!! Oh, and you will get to the point that you won't know what day of the week it is, lol.
