Hi Friends, I know I said I would be more regular in my posting and I’m trying-I really am!!
As you can see we have gotten a little bit of snow here and the lake hasn’t frozen over yet, so I wanted to get some shots of the beautiful blue waters to share with you before it turned to ice.
Now this photo is for my MIL.
I’m sure she loves to see a photo now and then of her sonny boy-Ha!
He seems to look very deep in thought, doesn’t he?
I hope he’s not thinking about how he can throw me in that lake!!!
No, just kidding.
I’m sure that thought would never cross his mind.
I did get a couple more mittens done this last week, as I have sold two in the gift shop now.
I am waiting now for an Amazon order to arrive with some Aida cloth to start a cross stitching project I want to do . I can’t show it to you because it is going to be a gift for someone who might happen to read this blog post!
It has been many years since I’ve been interested in doing any cross stitching, but I have found so many beautiful patterns on Pinterest now that I can’t resist putting my hand to it again.
If you haven’t looked at my Pinterest boards lately you might want to check my new Cross Stitch board out.
Here is an example of a very cute sewing cross stitch pattern that I’ve pinned…
And how about this beautiful deer pattern?
Now I know you’re going to fly over to my board right now because you can’t resist it….
The real problem for me is choosing just one, there are so many lovely choices these days.
Well, I’m all talked out for now.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Those are gorgeous photos of the blue waters! Wow! I haven't been on Pinterest for a long while. It eats up too much time when I do go on there. Haha!

Brr. It looks cold there Kimberly. I like the first of the two cross stitches you showed and will visit your Pinterest page too see them. I used to cross stitch all the time and made many of them but not any more. Have a nice weekend! Stay warm.

Beautiful blue water. Sunny and cold is a stunning combination.I used to cross stitch but I never enjoyed it very much. Did a few things for gifts and one piece for each of my children. I prefer embroidery. Your cross stitch patterns look wonderful.

Great view and photos! We might get snow here Sunday night and we are at least 30 degrees C below normal for this time of year. Alaska is warmer than we are right now. We're usually in the 60's and it hasn't gotten out of the low 30's all week.I AM going to go see your cross stitch board right now!Have a nice weekend!

Oh, I wish I had a dollar for every cross stitch that I have done! I'd be a bloody million or kazillionaire! The deer pattern is quite nice. I have a bunch of aida and linen cloth in my fabric stash. Ah, but my eyesight has gotten terrible in the past few years, especially this one when I had the retinal tears. I don't even know if I can do it anymore because of bad eyesight. But I will go wander over and look at what patterns you have pinned!

Funny, I just bought some fabric at Walmart today that you use to cross stitch over any fabric and then when you're done it dissolves in water and you're left with your stitches on whatever fabric you want. I already follow you on Pinterest but I had not seen your cross stitch board. Ooh la la! Yes, so much a person wants to do!
