Gentle Friends, today would have been my mom's 97th birthday. With my grandfather, her father-in-law, and my mom having back-to-back birthdays it was easy to remember them and we often had joint family dinners and parties for them both. Here's one of the pictures I treasure most...

A Little Finish
Gentle Friends, "Wild Roses" wrapped up and I've landed on my next project. I had kitted up three things I really want to stitch and when push came to shove I made a decision. However, today is all about the completed piece...it's very overcast and foggy here by the Bay so there's not much natural light for the image...
Remembering an Anniversary
Gentle Friends, today would have been the 68th Wedding anniversary of my parents...
I think this is a great shot from that day so very long ago...

A Little Stichin'
Gentle Friends, so I've almost arrived at the end of the actual chart... but still have quite a bit of linen left, and plenty of NPI silks... that I think I'll just keep stitching away on the flowers and birds instead of cutting off the linen ... here's a snaperoo...

On Mothers Day
Gentle Friends, on Mother's Day I can't help but think of my Mom, and the women who came before her in my family...
... from left to right my great-grandmother, my grandmother, and my mom... these little portraits my mom cherished, and when she passed and we broke up house keeping they were three things I took for myself. Hoping everyone is having a super Mothers Day!!

A Little Start
Gentle Friends, the start for this stitch I made on linen I realized quickly was just too dark... lovely linen but just too dark, soooo I dug around in the ol' bucket of linen (it's really not a bucket) and found a nice piece of much lighter linen. I frogged out all I had stitched on the dark piece and put it back with the linens and just restarted... here's a snaperooo of the start...
