Stitching in the middle of nowhere

May 19th, 2010

Over the weekend we headed down south for a little family do-da in Santaquin. We seriously were in the middle of beautiful nowhere!

Not much to see, but let me tell you the air was clean, fresh {except for that occasional whiff of cow} and the birds were especially songful. It really was a delightful day.

out the front

and out the back -of the car.

of course I have to add a picture of the local Library. Gosh, I love libraries.

ok. well, I did get to finish stitching that little goodie—

here she is in her new frame –garage sale goodies last week $1- yes:

The honey says the frame reminds him of licorice {he is a big fan of it}

fine, he's right. I am thinking some dark stain or maybe some black paint to tone it down is what it needs.

What do you think? Too much licorice?

I love the words….I think that is what made me do it.

Lately I have been content. I kind of have been taking a moment and look around at everything.

I have been more aware of my Thankfullness. Not sure why.

I was driving home the other day and the kids were in the front yard playing soccer together…..and I thought to myself,

They are such good kids. Gosh I'm lucky.

It's just been a pleasant feeling. I am glad I noticed it and what it has brought to my attention.

Want to stitch one for yourself? Purchase it here— Handmade Cathy. The stitchery was featured on Feeling Stitchy and I knew I needed it for myself–then I found the frame. Match made perfectly!
