Hey, Friends!
Just want to pop in to share that His Eye is on the Sparrow, by
Heartstring Samplery, page 4, is stitched.
It was started on January 1, 2015, and that completes row one. I’m planning to take a little break now to
stitch some of my favorite Patriotic pieces.
I don’t think I ever shared with you the piece I stitched to exchange at
the Primitive Stitchers Retreat. It’s
from With Thy Needle & Thread, Heart in Hand. I finished it by placing it into one of the
old watch cases. Also added some tiny
buttons, then used some gingham ribbon and bead to complete the necklace. The recipient seemed to be pleased with it.
If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you know that I’ve been looking
forward to this time for several years.
It’s so close now, I can almost taste it. I have 15 working days until retirement. WooHoo!
Such a nice beginning, with low humidity and bright sunshine today, which
makes it seem not so hot. Hope you’re
all enjoying a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend, too! Take a few minutes to be thankful and remember the brave who gave all.
Peace♥Love♥Joy
Happy Stitching!

You must be so excited. I have been retired for quite a time and love every minute of it! I did love my job too, but this is just great. That is going to be a beautiful sampler.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy not working! I stopped a year ago, and HOPEFULLY will begin to actually enjoy it soon! The Eye on the Sparrow sampler must be huge, if that is just row one! You did a wonderful job so far! Love the watch fob piece too! Hugs!
