My Heart, Family and Friends

I have loved every minute of stitching on this piece. It's such a special design. I've spent more than a couple hours doing some geneaology research so I can personalize it :-). So far I've paid tribute to my paternal grandmother, Audie Pearl, and my maternal grandfather Sydney Frederick. Unless a block speaks to me for a particular person, I will wait until the end to add the rest of the initials, names and dates.

I haven't posted pictures of my four legged babies in a while so I will bore you all with new pictures. I've decided the girls think they are cats, LOL. Oh and Chloe thinks she's a boy, but that's a whole other story ;-). They both like to sleep on the back of the furniture.


Chloe (whose newest habit is hiking her leg on the fence? My neighbors must think I am a nut when I holler "You're not a boy!', LOL)

Sophie (who is such a little lady unless you are offering her food, then she's a vulture, LOL)


I so enjoy reading everyone's blog and I am always excited when I find a "new to me" blog or someone I know starts blogging. My friend Natalia started her blog this year, click on her name and take a look, she has such a fun blog and she's just the sweetest woman :-).

I hope this post finds everyone well and stitching!!! I am off to dig through my stitching bag. I have to find something else to work on while I impatiently wait on the next Anniversaries of the Heart chart. Have a great day!
