Sophia Waters

  First ~ I want to express my gratitude to all of you that have emailed, commented, visited, and shared your stitching with me this past year.  I continue to be inspired by your work, from the smallest fob to the largest sampler, and how you've welcomed me into the blogging world.  I thank you sincerely.

Second ~ I should not have delayed my flu shot.  Yoi.  The final plan for the floss box is in place and I can't imagine a saw running or hammer pounding right now.  I won't be attending my sister's little get together today but I did get mom's shaved chocolate chiffon cake baked and it's ready to go. 

But here's how I really feel - big deal!!   Regardless of how poorly I feel, someone is suffering and won't recover as I will.  The end.

So here's Sophia Waters.

That little bit of blue is the only color and you can see how primitive this design is which is why I left it wrinkled.  I have her hanging (for now) on the side of the cupboard with one of my favorite unframed pieces, Mary Oldfield. 

Susannah French, the other R&R primitive design is being worked on now and I will feature her next time.  She's also mostly brown with incomplete stitches and errors. I can't wait to get the 12 new charts.   

While trying to recover some older photos from an old computer, I found several from prior years.  My laptop is acting the same as it did before the crash and I fear it will be crashing again.

Well, the season is officially over. And the last of my paint is spilled out onto the cardboard and drying for disposal. But every time I see this guy, I want to paint him again.

 

Time to put away the decorations and liquor up on cough syrup.

Thank you again for your friendship and encouragement this past year.
Stay safe ~ stitch happy!
