Gina Queen of the Sea WIP

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you have all had a wonderful day. Our friends are in town visiting, so today the men took all of the kids to the mountain to ride dirt bikes, us girls got to go shopping at Hollyhill Quilt Shoppe, it was such a fun day.

I decided to put a photo up of my current stitching. I started the cross stitch "Gina Queen of the Sea" by Ink Circles in 2008. I pulled it out again during the Christmas break we've had. I decided it was the one to continue working on now. The colors are very pretty, and I love the sea theme.

Yesterday we took our friends and the kids for a hike at the beach. Ecola State Park is our most favorite beach around, and they have a good 2 mile hike there, so we braved it in the freezing cold. I am glad we did, it was beautiful.

Look at the big log, it's so huge! We could have fit several more people :)

Snapperville is Finished!

Teach us, that we may feel the importance of every day, of every hour as it passes.

First of all, I'd like to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving!!! I hope you are able to be with the ones that you love today. We were going to drive to Utah yesterday, but the weather has been so bad we decided to just stay home and be safe. I am so thankful for my husband and kids, they are amazing, and I am very blessed to have them in my life.

While watching the movie Mamma Mia last night (have you seen it?? Super cute), I finished stitching Snapperville by Bent Creek. I added the buttons to it this morning. It is called "Snapperville" because you are supposed to add snaps to it, but I wanted buttons, so I guess I could call it "buttonville" but then that would just be silly wouldn't it?? :)

This took me several years to finish, but that is okay! I enjoyed working on it again this fall. Now to pick up another WIP that has been sitting in my bag far too long. All of you enjoy this wonderful holiday, and thank you for visiting my little blog.

Snapperville Progress

I'm slowly but surely working on my cross stitch project called Snapperville by Bent Creek. You can purchase it here: The Silver Needle, you have to scroll down quite a bit to find it. Bent Creek charts are adorable, and there are so many of them to choose from! I started this project over three years ago, so I've been taking my sweet time on it.

I got another block stitched, the little town, super cute! There is one block left, it has a house and a flag in it. Almost there.

I'm sewing away on my Christmas quilt, all of the blocks are done, now I am sewing rows together. I've been in a "starting" mood lately, so many new projects can't wait to be done :) Have a nice weekend everyone!
