patterns. There is an adorable cross-stitch of a sweet kiss under the mistletoe! I hope you are all having a great time getting ready for Christmas!
Just stopping by briefly today to post about a sweet cross-stitch freebie I came across. It was stitched on linen using DMC threads - 304, 349,415, 433, 435, 699, 702, 838, 977, 3799, 3865 - and finished as an ornament. I think its just gorgeous! Here is the chart too! This little pattern is from Gazette94. She has over 120 free patterns, so get a cup of hot apple cider, sit down, relax, and have fun browsing through her

Thank you to all who entered, I had a hoot reading about all your kitty names. They will be source of inspiration for my next rescue!
Hi All,My apologies for not posting the winner of my giveaway yet. I am just getting back on my feet after a really nasty cold and sinus infection. I will try to get the winner's name out later today or tomorrow. I am so sorry for the delay!
We are having our first (unexpected) snow today! Maybe an inch or two. The roads were really slick this morning on my way into work. It took almost 45 minutes for me to go 3 miles!
Thanksgiving Free Graphic
Good Fall Morning every
one! I wanted to share a sweet vintage image coming by way of Amy's Pick of the Day which is a bit of verse to celebrate the season of plenty. When you go to her page, be sure to click on the image first to see the full size image. Then right click (Mac: control+click) and “save to” your computer desktop or a folder of your choice. This process will ensure you get the best quality of the image. You can use this image to make place holders for your Thanksgiving table or perhaps an applique on a tea towel. If you send Amy an image of what you made, she will post them on The Vintage Workshops' Facebook page.
This also reminds me of something I would love Santa to bring me this year .... a color printer/scanner/fax machine! I would love to be able to do some crafts with images printed to fabric. Please tell Santa for me!
Grandma was Plump!

Today while looking for a cute Thanksgiving blinky for by blog, I came across this one. It caught my eye because having your loved ones homes is such a blessing but the other reason was because it reminded me of my dear Grandma Mary. She was a jolly (plump) woman who loved her sons and grandkids. She loved to cook for us and she did enjoy her cooking! If you asked for ham for a Sunday dinner, you got ham and roast beef! Same with pies and cookies. She lead a wonderful and simple life with very little but lived with love and thankfulness. This got me to thinking ... when did "grandmas" have to stop looking like the one shown here and had to start looking like Joan Collins?
She looked so huggable and I loved hugging her! Her plumpness was so comforting and reassuring. That's what I remember most about her and how she loved us and her wonderful smile. I certainly thought she was beautiful because of this. Maybe this is how our grandchildren should remember us and not our waist size? It's something to think about.
HAPPY VETERANS DAY
