Another small finish

Hello again. Like I said in my last post for now I'm just doing small pieces, to get back into stitching and to use up scrap material that I have. I'm not spending as much time a day stitching as I use to but that's okay. It took me about 4 days to do this really small easy piece. Because I didn't have the Specialty thread colors this pattern called for I just picked my own colors. I was trying to make it look eastery, and if I do it again I think I'll use a darker purple for the lettering and cross and maybe lighter colors for the border and flowers.

I just went to Meijers today first time I had been out in a month! It was nice to get out. It wasn't as crowded as it was when this virus first came out. No Bathroom Tissue but it had everything else I wanted.

For those of you who pray. There is a little girl named Mya who really needs a lot of prayers right now. They just found out last week she has bone cancer stage four. It started in her leg and spread into her lungs. This is devastating to her parents, grandparents, and siblings. They are strong christians and trusting God for healing and to get them through this. They have very strong support from their church and from the school Mya and her siblings go to.

Well, until next time.....Happy Stitching!

Long Time I know

Let's see if I even remember how to post a picture. I think I do. Anyway I know it's been well over a year since I have posted. Reason being I haven't stitched at all. A couple of months I dug out a pattern I did back in 2008 and started it but never picked it back up until yesterday. I finished it today. Since I have lots of scap material I am doing small pieces to use that up and to really get back into stitching again.

I quit stitching because of the neck pain and headaches and I still have them but I decided to push my way through them. Some days are better then others.

How is everyone doing during this quarantine period. I'm ready for it to end but I don't think it'll end too soon in Michigan. Actually it's Detroit area that is getting struck so hard the rest of the state really isn't. So maybe just the Detroit area will stay closed. The rest of us can slowly get back to business. I miss going to the Food Pantry, going to the Cat Shelter. (We were doing so well on adoptions until all this happened). The cats are being well taken care of by a few people but the rest of us miss them.

I;ve had You tube on a lot (nothing any good on tv during the day and not that much good at night.) I've watched a lot of Gaither Videos on it and some others. Also one of the former Kingsmen and his wife do a mini concert around 4:30 most week days but not every. I enjoy them. If you enjoy contemporary christian music and some southern, plus they talk a little to give encouragment just go to Facebook page and in search type in Friends of Bryan Hutson and you will find them.

My sister has moved to this side of the state now which we love. We see her more often, and she's not by herself on the other side of the state. Her husband died a year in a half ago. So she bought a condo only about 10 minutes from where her youngest daughter lives and loves it. She's doing really good.

On the other hand, our oldest brother moved from MO to TX so he's further away from us. We keep track of him on Face Book. So thankful for Facebook we get to keep in touch with family that has moved away. Our family is scattered all over.

Well until next time Happy Stitching!
