Hello friends!! I hope your weekend was wonderful and warm. Most of my family went ice fishing, so Karissa and I had some great one-on-one-time. She and I picked out her Valentines at the store, ate at Panda Express--her choice and her favorite, rented a movie, popped popcorn and snuggled on the couch. She had my undivided attention and said, "Mom, this is the best day of my life." AWWWWW....she brings such joy.
Of course, when everyone comes home from the ice fishing trip, there is much clean-up, put-away and laundry. So, I played catch-up this am, and then did some sewing this afternoon. Hot off the sewing machine is this:

It's a Joined at the Hip pattern, but I changed it some. It looks so cheery on the front door--mmmmm-a new month!! WAHOO!!

Here is a stitchery I had in the Valentine box. Isn't love nice to come home to?

Another quick stitchery--

This was originally going to be a pillow, but I changed my mind. I used crayons to color it.

This is a simple one---stitch, rip fabric and tack to a board with upholstery tacks.

Another stitchery---can you tell that I enjoy my needle and thread?
Well, Mr. Groundhog saw his shadow--so 6 more weeks of winter. That's okay though--6 weeks will just fly by. I'm not totally ready for yardwork yet anyway!! I am working on a trade with one of my blog buddies--I will post a "teaser" picture tomorrow. Have a marvelous Monday.
Be Nice to People,
julie

I love all of your adorable stitching! And the new door decoration would take me days to complete. Love all of it! How nice to spend one on one with your daughter. Making memories!
Wonderful things, Julie, as always :) I wish I made as much progress as you. I feel like I'm moving in slow motion these days...
Have a wonderful day :)

I'm so glad you were able to spend time alone with one of your darlings. That is my favorite part of family-alone together, and together-alone:)
What neat quiltings! Love is a nice thing to come home too:) (might just have to copy that quote:)
Have a LOVELY week:)
Love your stitcheries and the header. Very homey and inviting. I am fairly new to embroidery. I have seen many that are colored in. Out of curiosity do you use reg crayons or fabric crayons and do you have to set it a special way? Keep up the good work I love the inspiration.

Your stitcheries are adorable. Where do you get your patterns? I love it when I can give one on one attention! I love both my kids but they each need that special time.
Christy
You always amaze me with your talents. Do you use patterns or just draw your own? You didn't do all those in one weekend, did you? I do alot of embroidery and cross stitch and I work steady but I couldn't have done all that in one weekend!
