I found this sampler here and it perfectly expresses my feelings. Today is a cloudy, very rainy day in Arizona and it matches my sad mood at finding out about the death of a very dear friend. A friend who will be missed more than she would ever have believed possible. A wonderful mother, wife and stitcher and I'm proud I could call her my friend. She was genteel, kind, a little mischevious but had a very gentle spirit and calm aura. She was a pleasure to be with and I don't have a single bad memory of her. She was so special and was taken too soon but I like to believe that when someone we love dies that there is an angel in heaven looking out for us. I'll close with a poem I recently used in a memorial sampler I designed. I hope all who loved her will be comforted and find peace.
When on my day the evening shadows fall,
I will go down to where a quiet river flows
Into a sea from whence no man returns
And there embark for lands where
Life immortal grows.

A finished Lovebird!
Harmien did a wonderful job changing colors on the Lovebird freebie. I have to say I like them better than what I chose so give her a shout if you are liking the colors as much as I do!

Fear Not
This is my latest release "Fear Not" and I have to thank Deb Hunter for the wonderful job she does with my finishing.
I also wanted to add that my website has not been updated in quite a while due to problems with the host which I'm trying to get straightened out so please bear with me, thanks!
Busy, Busy, Busy...
This has been such a busy month, first taking the Merry Cox class "Flowers in the Fall". This is her photo and I will post my piece once I'm finished! I did change a few things which I think is always fun to do to make it my own.
Immediately after that I went and visited my friend Laurel who lives between Reno and Lake Tahoe. I was so impressed with the area and we had a great time without husbands or kids. We ate, talked, rearranged furniture, talked, shopped, talked and talked some more. Very relaxing and revitalizing for me.
For Thanksgiving we did our traditional trip to Mexico along with my husband's mother, sister and her husband and a huge yellow Labrador Retriever. It was windy the whole time but always beautiful. Another very relaxing time. Here are my kids acting goofy on the beach and posing below in the wind.
I hope everyone had a nice holiday!
